It was my biggest dream to win the trophy for Punjab- Mandeep Singh Mandeep Singh while talking to ESPNcricinfo said, It was my big dream to win a trophy for Punjab, which we achieved last season. So, I felt it was the best time to leave. And it’s not like I can’t go back, I left on good terms. I hope to finish with Punjab because my heart is with Punjab. Mandeep Singh further told about whether he is going to become the captain of Tripura cricket team? I have not spoken about it (with Tripura Cricket Association regarding captaincy). I spoke to my coach PV Sasikant, but we only discussed how to take the team forward. Everything is a bit new for me. Mandeep’s biggest goal is to return to IPL Mandeep further talked about his goals, he said that he wants to play in all three formats and also wants to make a comeback in the IPL. He has also cited players like Suryakumar Yadav and Shashank Singh as his inspiration. I have some goals, to play all three formats and then, to come back to IPL. Obviously, if you come back to IPL and perform well, you can get into the Indian team. If I am not wrong, Suryakumar Yadav played for India at the age of 30. Shashank Singh is 32-33 (32). He got his first taste of success in IPL last year. So the motivations are right in front of me.

“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
