“He had no motivation left to play domestic cricket”- Shikhar Dhawan opens up about his retirement
Shikhar Dhawan (Photo Source: LLC) Legendary India opener Shikhar Dhawan has opened up about his decision to retire from all forms of cricket, saying he had no “motivation” left to play domestic cricket or the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhawan, who retired in August at the age of 38, opened up about his decision while speaking on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket event. Former opener Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday revealed that he no longer had the “motivation” to play domestic cricket to make it to the national team and that was the reason he decided to retire from the game last month. “I did not want to play domestic cricket which I started playing at the age of 18 or 19. I did not have the motivation to play this format of cricket,” Dhawan, who is playing in the Legends League tournament, said in an interview to PTI. Shikhar Dhawan dominated the ICC tournament Shikhar Dhawan emerged as one of India’s leading white-ball players, especially in ICC tournaments, where he has the highest average (65.15) among all Indian batsmen. During his illustrious career, he captained the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the 2021 series against Sri Lanka. Dhawan led India in 12 ODIs, winning seven and losing three. “If I look back, in the last two years I was not playing much international cricket and I was only playing the IPL so I was not playing much cricket (overall),” the opener said. Despite his successful tenure as captain, Dhawan’s international career gradually slowed down. He was ignored from the team after the arrival of players like Shubman Gill. Dhawan played his last match for India in December 2022, marking the end of an important era for Indian cricket.

“We were shouting at Doug, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, but…” – Mohit Sharma said on Dhoni’s dispute with the umpire
IPL 2019: MS Dhoni is the most successful bowler in IPL history. The great MS Dhoni, known for his calm and composed nature on the cricket field, is considered one of the greatest captains in the history of the game. He also got the nickname of ‘Captain Cool’ by his fans. However, Dhoni has been seen getting angry on the cricket field many times by the fans. One of the biggest incidents among these was during IPL 2019 when Dhoni entered the field in the middle of the match due to a no ball controversy and started fighting with the umpires. Now former CSK fast bowler Mohit Sharma has spoken on this incident and told what was the atmosphere in the dressing room at that time. Let us tell you, during the 2019 IPL, there was a controversy when the umpire took back the decision after giving a no ball during a match against Rajasthan Royals. In the last over, CSK needed some 8 runs to win. One of Ben Stokes’ balls was above the waist, one umpire gave it a no ball while the other umpire standing at square leg overturned the decision. Mahi got furious and entered the field to fight with the umpire. We were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go – Mohit Sharma said about MS Dhoni Recalling this incident, Mohit Sharma said on the 2 Sloggers podcast, “We were in the dugout, we were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. But he didn’t even look back. He went like this, when it seemed like a lion had entered. He was already angry because he got out at the wrong time. He had just come to the dugout after getting out and the next ball was a no ball and the umpire did not give it.” He further said, “When he returned, he asked me to bring the laptop. Then the video analyst showed him the video and he said, ‘It was a no-ball.’ However, he also regretted going to the field. But the match was so exciting that all this happened in the blink of an eye.”

Pant is the best wicketkeeper batsman in Test cricket, his best is yet to come – Mohammad Kaif
Rishabh Pant (Pic Source-X) Team India has made a great start in the Test series against Bangladesh. India played great cricket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on 19 September and after four days of play, the team managed to register a victory of 280 runs. After this victory, Team India managed to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Pant scored a century in the second innings of the first Test match, while he also made an important contribution in the first innings. The last Test match of the two-match series is to be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. Rishabh Pant also played his last Test series against Bangladesh. Team India went on a tour of Bangladesh in late 2022. After returning from there, Pant’s car had a terrible accident while going to his home. Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Pant is not in his prime form yet, yet he is the biggest match winner of Team India. Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement in praise of Rishabh Pant In an interview to Times of India, Kaif said, ‘When the England team came to India, Rishabh Pant was not in the team. Pant, who comes to bat at number five or six, is the biggest match winner for Team India at this position. He has played many match-winning innings. No one can forget his innings at Gabba. He has scored centuries in difficult conditions in South Africa and England.’ Kaif further said, ‘Talking about stats, I think Pant is the best wicketkeeper batsman for Test cricket. No one in the Indian think tank thinks about anyone other than Rishabh Pant. His best is yet to come. When he turns 27, his batting will improve further and then he will hit his prime form. Rishabh Pant’s best is yet to come, especially in Test cricket.’ It is worth noting that Pant has also equaled former India captain MS Dhoni’s record for scoring the most Test centuries for India as a wicketkeeper, with both players having six centuries to their name. Pant achieved this feat in 34 Test matches, scoring 2419 runs so far, while Dhoni, who played 90 Tests in his entire career, scored 4876 runs and scored six centuries.

“We are not wrongly giving him the status of ‘Prince’”- Why did Aakash Chopra give such a statement about Gill
Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is in great form these days. He recently scored a brilliant century in the second innings of the Test match played against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gill was greatly applauded after that innings. Meanwhile, now former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big statement on Shubman Gill. Aakash Chopra believes that Shubman Gill has proved the ‘Prince’ tag right. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra defended Gill, citing the number of centuries he has scored in international cricket since the start of 2020, which is actually more than the centuries scored by players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Aakash Chopra made a big statement in praise of Shubman Gill The former Indian cricketer further said, “Who has scored the most centuries for Team India this decade? This is very interesting. There was a tweet from CricCrazyJohns, and we said that we never realized this. He wrote about the most centuries for India in this decade in international cricket, “Shubman Gill has scored 12 centuries in 114 innings, it is absolutely phenomenal.” Chopra further added that the “Prince” nickname attached to Gill was not at all unfair, as he provided the exact stats of Rohit and Kohli in comparison to Gill. The former batsman further added that, “Rohit Sharma has played 148 innings in the same time frame and scored 10 centuries. Virat Kohli has played 149 innings and scored 10 centuries and both of them are our GOAT. So Shubman Gill is going way ahead with 12 centuries. We are not giving him the status of ‘Prince’ unfairly.” Chopra further said that according to him, Gill has come to Team India to set some big records because it seems like success has been added to his bloodstream. Chopra said, “It is in his DNA. I am saying that this guy is running towards greatness because he feels, in fact he is confident. If he tries to do something in his mind, greatness comes out. This is a very good story for Indian cricket.”
