(Photo Source: Getty Images) Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has revealed that he has signed a contract for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Did not try to convince Hardik Pandya to remain with the Ahmedabad franchise. Under the captaincy of Hardik, Gujarat Titans team won the title in the first season itself. Last year the team had made it to the finals, where Chennai Super Kings defeated the team. Meanwhile, speaking about his good stint with Gujarat Titans, Nehra expressed his sentiments that he could have tried to keep Pandya in the team, but he did not do so. Quoting Hindustan Times, Ashish Nehra said that, I never tried to convince Hardik to remain in the team. The more you play, the more experience you get. If he had gone to any other team, I would have stopped him. He played here for two years, but he was going back to a team for which he played for 5-6 years.” Gujarat Titans will miss Hardik Pandya – Ashish Nehra Nehra also admitted that the Gujarat team will definitely miss Hardik Pandya. But he also said that this will be a big chance and opportunity for other players. Nehra said, “In any game, you have to move forward. You can’t buy experience and it won’t be easy to replace someone like Hardik Pandya or (injured) Mohammed Shami. But this is a learning curve and that is how the team moves forward.” The former bowler finally said, “Before Hardik Pandya joined Gujarat Titans, he had no experience of captaining any team. 10 teams play in IPL and you will get to see new captains. Shreyas Iyer and even Nitish Rana captained Kolkata Knight Riders. It remains to be seen which player steps forward as captain. As a captain I want to see how he works and not just me, the whole of India wants to see that because that’s the kind of player he is.”

I will be indebted to MS Dhoni for the rest of my life for what he gave me: Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin made his test debut under Dhoni’s captaincy. Ravichandran Ashwin (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement about former Indian captain and finishing master MS Dhoni. Ashwin has said that I will be indebted to Dhoni throughout my life for what he has given me. It is noteworthy that before his debut for Team India in 2010, Ashwin was associated with Chennai Super Kings as a local spinner, but due to the presence of a spinner like Muttiah Muralitharan in the team, he did not get a chance to play that season. So, he got a chance to play in the year 2009, but he came into the limelight when Dhoni gave him the first over of the powerplay against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2011 IPL final. After this, Ashwin bowled brilliantly and took the important wicket of Chris Gayle on the fourth ball of the first over. After Ashwin’s amazing performance this season, he was directly included in Team India. Ashwin made his Test debut under the captaincy of Dhoni in Delhi against West Indies. So, due to his brilliant bowling in his very first match, he won the Player of the Match award. Big statement given regarding Ashwin regarding Dhoni It is noteworthy that recently Ashwin had touched the figure of 500 wickets in Test cricket. So on this occasion, when Ashwin was honored by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, he said during this time- I met all the great players (in the CSK dressing room) during 2008. I sat out IPL 2008, I was nothing then and where can you play in a team which has a spinner like Muttiah Murnidharan. But I will be indebted to Dhoni all my life for what he gave me. He gave me a chance to bowl to Chris Gayle with the new ball and after 17 years Anil (Kumble) bhai is talking about the same episode. I truly feel humbled and grateful to be here. Ashwin further said- Anil Bhai and Rahul Bhai explained to me in a shot that it is difficult to win a debate with you. I think this is true because I believe that logic is one of the greatest paths to excellence. Arguments never happen with a man. It always comes with a lesson at the end.

What is Stop Clock Rule? ICC has given captains sleepless nights by bringing this rule.

In December 2023, ICC implemented this rule as a trial. (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to implement the stop clock rule in the limited overs format. Let us tell you that ICC had introduced this system on a test basis in December 2023, but considering the current situation, there is a possibility of it being fully implemented now. It will also be used in the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to start from June 1. What is Stop Clock Rule? All information regarding this rule This rule will help teams maintain the pace of the game. The bowling team is allowed to start the second over after one over and There will be 60 seconds time to make necessary changes between overs. Then the bowling team has to start their over before the countdown reaches zero. If the team is unable to do this, it will be penalized. The third umpire will keep a close eye on the timer as he will start the stop watch. If any team fails to start the over within 60 seconds, the on-field umpire will warn the team twice, then a penalty of 5 runs will be imposed for the third time. The decision to implement the stop watch will rest with the umpires, in which they will also see whether the delay in starting the over is due to the batsmen or because of DRS.

‘They were not making players but spoiling them’ – Aakash Chopra criticized SRH franchise

SRH was at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2023. Aakash Chopra And SRH (Photo Source: Twitter) Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) wrong approach is their biggest weakness going into the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Let us tell you that, IPL 2023 has been forgettable for SRH, despite having some big players in the team, it remained at the bottom of the points table. Chopra has commented that SRH constantly changed their match combination and perhaps that is why they could not perform well last season. Referring to Umran Malik, he said that the franchise did not use the Jammu fast bowler properly. Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of SRH In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When I see his weakness, I feel that his thinking is messed up. The team was good last time too, but why did they not perform well? This is because they used to change the team every third match. You have spoiled Mayank Agarwal.” He further said, “You didn’t use Umran Malik at all, and when you did, you didn’t use him properly. He doesn’t bowl in the powerplay, but you gave him overs there. Then you didn’t feed him. “They were not making players but ruining them.” The 46-year-old player further said that his past mistakes could ‘haunt’ him in the upcoming season as well. Chopra said, “In the end they were completely clueless. The captaincy was normal. I see it as a bit of a weakness because if you have a lot of options then when you are tempted you make a quick change.” We don’t list Pat Cummins as gun players in T20: Aakash Chopra Chopra further said that srh Newly appointed captain Pat Cummins is a good player but believes that he will not be able to perform well in the T20 format. This cricketer turned commentator said that, “Their captain (Pat Cummins) is a very good player, but we do not put him in the list of gun players in T20, even he is not the captain of Australia. AndHe is the ODI captain but not the T20I captain. He does not bowl much in the powerplay and death overs. If one of your overseas fast bowlers doesn’t bowl in these two key areas, that’s a problem. You see your overseas bowlers there, but here you will probably only see Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan.”

Delhi Capitals made a big change for IPL 2024, included this explosive batsman in the team in place of Lungi Ngidi.

Jake Fraser-McGurk (Image Credit- Twitter X) Delhi Capitals (DC) has suffered a big setback before the start of IPL. The franchise has included all-rounder Jack Fraser-McGurk in the squad as a replacement for Lungi Ngidi. Fans are eagerly waiting for IPL 2024 which is going to start on March 22. All the teams are busy preparing vigorously. Jake Fraser-McGurk included in the team as replacement In the recent update from Delhi Capitals (DC), all-rounder Jake Fraser-McGurk has been named as the replacement for the injured Ngidi. Lungi Ngidi has taken 25 wickets in 14 IPL matches and obviously the team will miss him. However, the franchise is hopeful that Fraser-McGurk’s inclusion will bring new energy to the team. South Australia’s Fraser McGurk is known for his aggressive batting style and has caught everyone’s attention with his batting. He came into limelight when he broke AB de Villiers’ record of the fastest century by scoring a century in just 29 balls. Harry Brook is also out for Delhi Ngidi’s absence due to injury after Brook’s withdrawal from the tournament is a big blow for Delhi Capitals. The English batsman had recently told that due to family reasons he will not play IPL and will spend time with his family. Brook reveals that his grandmother died after a long illness, and he wants to be close to his family members. After the exit of these two foreign players from the tournament, Enrique Norkhia and Jhay Richardson now seem to have a place in the playing XI. Both the frontline bowlers can create problems for the opposition team by opening DC’s bowling. However, Norkhia also returned to competitive cricket last week for the first time since September 2023. Also read: Captain Rohit Sharma will revive Prithvi Shaw’s career!
