IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI 5 test matches which ended in the fewest overs

IND v AFG: Rohit-Virat will open against Afghanistan! Apart from these, India has two more options

Keeping the T20 World Cup 2024 in mind, the BCCI Selection Committee announced a strong Indian team for this series. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after a break of more than a year. Since now Rohit and Virat have returned to the T-20 team and Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also in the team. So now the question in everyone’s mind is, who will open for India in this series against Afghanistan. 3 opening combinations that India can try in the Afghanistan series 3 possible opening combinations for IND v AFG 1) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can open against Afghanistan Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Twitter) Rohit Sharma has returned to the T-20 team as captain. He has been India’s best opener in T20I cricket and it should be no surprise if he opens the batting against Afghanistan. His opening partner should be Virat Kohli as he had a great season as an opener with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. Kohli scored many centuries as an opener. Also, he has formed some great partnerships with Rohit Sharma in international cricket. If the duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma gets going, it will be a nightmare for any bowling unit in the world. India should have the best two batsmen in its team as openers. 2) Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Twitter) 2023 has been a great year for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the opening pair in ODI cricket. He also opened for India in Tests. Perhaps India can now try this pair in T-20 format also. Shubman Gill was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2023. He scored almost 900 runs while opening for Gujarat Titans. The Prince of Indian cricket already has a T20I century to his name, and playing alongside Rohit Sharma will help him become a better batsman. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also feels that Gill will open with Rohit in the T20 series between India and Afghanistan. 3) Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) If India wants a left-handed-right-handed opening combination in the T20 World Cup 2024, then it should try Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as openers against Afghanistan. Two batsmen from Mumbai open for India in Test cricket. During the absence of Rohit Sharma in the T20 team, Yashasvi played some brilliant innings for the Indian team. Both Jaiswal and Sharma have an aggressive approach, which can help India score big in the powerplay overs.

IND v AFG: Team India’s best playing XI for the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan

Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Senior Men’s Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 16-member Indian team for the T-20 series against Afghanistan starting from January 11. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav could not be a part of this series due to injuries. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after almost 14 months. Now the question is, what will be India’s playing XI in the first match of the T20 series against Afghanistan to be played from January 11? Who will get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav? For this the team management will have to put a lot of thinking. IND v AFG: Team India’s Best Playing XI Openers: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal In the first T20 to be played against Afghanistan in Mohali. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal can enter the opening along with him. He has been performing brilliantly in this format for some time now. Along with this, he also gives a combination of left and right in the top order. In such a situation, Shubhman Gill may have to wait. Apart from his century, Shubman Gill has not performed much in T2oI in this format and his last few innings have been quite worrying. Although this youngster will soon stand on his feet, but looking at the current combination of the team, it seems that he may have to sit for the time being. Middle Order: Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh Virat Kohli Performs well in the top order, but against Afghanistan he may have to bat at number 3. His gear in the middle overs and his game against spin will have to improve. Without Suryakumar, Tilak Verma is likely to get a few more chances to prove himself. The young left-hander has been sent up and down the order for quite some time now, and number 4 could be ideal for him. He will also serve as the sixth bowling option. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers who have been included in the squad. Sanju Samson has played more T20I cricket in recent times, but he can still fit into the team. He recently scored his first international century. Rinku Singh has been brilliant since his debut in international cricket and it is almost certain that he will play in the middle order. He will play the role of finisher for the team. All-rounder: Axar Patel In this playing XI Akshar Patel Washington will be ahead of Sundar. The left-handed batsman showed better bowling against Australia and he would like to continue that form further. He would like more opportunities to spend some time in the middle while batting. Bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar (Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar) India has selected only three fast bowlers in the team, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh. These three need to play to strengthen the team in the bowling…

What is this! Jonny Bairstow is very scared of coming to India for the Test series…

According to Jonny Bairstow, if spin tracks are being prepared here then they are not doing well with their fast bowlers. Jonny Bairstow (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, the Indian team drew 1-1 in the two-match Test series against South Africa. The performance of the Indian team in the first match of this test series was quite disappointing but in the second test the team batted and bowled well and won the match. Now the Indian team has to play a five-match Test series against England, which is starting from January 25. England had announced its team in the month of December last year itself. He would like to defeat India in a Test series at home after 12 years. Recently, England’s experienced wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow has given his opinion regarding Indian pitches. According to Jonny Bairstow, if spin tracks are being prepared here then they are not doing well with their fast bowlers. Jonny Bairstow told Sky Sports, ‘I have full hope that there will be turn in the Indian pitches. Even if not on the first day, by doing this the hosts are doing wrong to their fast bowlers. We know how strong the Indian team is. India can make a different kind of pitch. There is no need to turn in this. We have seen that their fast bowling lineup has been very strong recently. The experienced player remembered the last series against India in his own home. Jonny Bairstow further said, ‘Last time Axar Patel and Ashwin bowled very well. You forgot that our team players also performed very well in the first test match. Joe Root had scored a double century in the first Test match played in Chennai and after that the situation had completely changed. The performance of the England team has also been very good in Test cricket in the recent times and the Indian team has also played very good cricket. England would also know very well that it is very difficult to defeat India in their own home ground. England last defeated India in a Test series at home in 2012. England had won that Test series 2-1. Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI 5 test matches which ended in the fewest overs IPL 2024: This strong playing XI of RCB will now bring the trophy to the franchise.

IND vs AFG: Graeme Smith gave a big statement regarding the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the Indian T20 team.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the Indian T20 team after a long gap of 13 months. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Graeme Smith (Pic Source-Twitter) Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the team for the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. This T20 team will be captained by Rohit Sharma while Virat Kohli will also be seen playing in this series. Let us tell you, after a long gap of 13 months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the Indian T20 team. Both these players had performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and that is why the team was able to make its place in the final. However, India had to face defeat against Australia in the final. At present, the eyes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be on the T20 series against Afghanistan. Former South African captain Graeme Smith has given his stand regarding the return of both these players to the Indian team. Speaking to ANI, Graeme Smith said, ‘Looking at the amount of cricket the Indian team plays, it can be said that it is important to give rest to all the players from time to time and new players should also be given a chance. We have seen that many young players from India perform very well in the IPL and they have left their mark in the T20 format as well. I think the coach and selection panel should understand what the players need and what kind of players they need on which pitches. It is not so easy to select players with the kind of talent India has: Graeme Smith The former South African captain further said, ‘India has no dearth of talent and that is why they face a lot of difficulty in selecting players. According to me, along with the experienced players, some young players should also be included and only then the team will perform well. Let us tell you, Rohit and Virat had earlier played a T20 match against Australia in the World Cup. Afghanistan has also announced its team for this tour. Now it remains to be seen whether Afghanistan can give competition to India in its own backyard or not? Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI 5 test matches which ended in the fewest overs IPL 2024: This strong playing XI of RCB will now bring the trophy…

Mohammed Shami increases BCCI’s problems, may be out of test series against England

Mohammed Shami. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami may remain out of the first two Tests of the five-match series against England starting from January 25. He recently revealed that he played with pain during the ODI World Cup 2023, after which he was advised to take a break from the game. Currently, he is recovering from an ankle injury, which also ruled him out of the two-match Test series against South Africa. According to reports, the 33-year-old player has not started bowling in the nets yet. BCCI officials are hopeful that the fast bowler will undergo his fitness test at the NCA before making a place in the Test team. If he passes the test, Shami will join the team in Rajkot for the third Test. Will not be able to play the first two test matches against England – BCCI official A BCCI source was quoted by the Indian Express as saying, “Shami has not even started bowling yet, he will have to go to NCA to prove his fitness. It is difficult for him to play in the first two Tests against England. For the first two Test matches against England, Prasidh Krishna or Mukesh Kumar can be included in the playing eleven in place of Shami. In the second Test against the Proteas at Newlands, Cape Town, Kumar performed well with the ball, while Prasidh was decent. Captain Rohit Sharma was not happy with his performance in the first Test of the series in Centurion. Except Shami, all other Test cricketers are fit for the blockbuster series against England. The team is set to reunite in Hyderabad after the series against Afghanistan. The T2oI series against Afghanistan will end on January 17.

It was not right to throw a 19-year-old girl under the bus: Harmanpreet Kaur gave a befitting reply to the question of former Indian bowler

In this match, Shreyanka Patil gave 40 runs in four overs and took only one wicket. Harmanpreet Kaur (Photo Source: Twitter) Australia women’s team defeated the Indian team by 6 wickets in the second T20 match played at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on January 7. In this match, all the players from Australia women’s team performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team. Not only this, after the second T20, now Australia women’s team has tied 1-1 in the three-match T20 series. In this match, young player Shreyanka Patil from the Indian women’s team failed to leave her mark. In this match, he gave 40 runs in four overs and took only one wicket. Let us tell you, Australia women’s team needed 15 runs in the last two overs to win this match but Shreyanka Patil gave away 17 runs in the 19th over of the match and Australia easily won this match. Before this over, the young player had given 23 runs in three overs. Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur found Shreyanka Patil’s performance very poor and reprimanded the young bowler. If Shreyanka Patil had bowled well in her last over, things might have been different: Harmanpreet Kaur After the match was over, Harmanpreet Kaur said at the presentation, ‘If Shreyanka Patil had bowled well in her last over, perhaps things could have been different. We were continuously taking wickets in the middle overs and we were also getting chances which was a very positive thing. He still desperately needs changes in his game. We have played a lot of such matches but there are many young faces in the team. I have full hope that all the players will want to improve their game. Taking cognizance of Harmanpreet’s comments about her teammate, former Indian fast bowler Doda Ganesh criticized the Indian captain for throwing Shreyanka under the bus. To this the captain of the Indian women’s team replied, ‘It is not right to throw a 19 year old girl under the bus.’ Throwing a 19yo kid under the bus is not done #INDvAUS — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) January 7, 2024 So far, two T20 matches have been played between the two teams and now the third and final T20 will be played on the same ground on January 9.

The third wicket of the team fell in the form of Sumit Ghadigaonkar. After this, Parag handled one end very well and started hitting hard.
