Shubman Gill was appointed as the deputy to Suryakumar and Rohit in the T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. Abhishek Nayar (Image Credit- Twitter Indian cricket team’s new batting coach Abhishek Nayar has recently given a big statement and told why no vice-captain has been appointed in the team other than captain Rohit Sharma in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Before Bangladesh, the Indian team went on a tour of Sri Lanka. During the T20 series and ODI series on this tour, young Shubman Gill played the role of deputy to Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma respectively. Whereas in the Test series that took place before this, Bumrah got this role. Abhishek Nayar gave a big statement However, now this is not seen in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Also, there is a possibility that this may not be seen in the three-match T20 series starting after the Test series. But now regarding this matter, Abhishek said in a press conference held before the start of the second Test match against Bangladesh- I think we need to understand that we have a lot of IPL captains in this team. When you talk about players like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, hopefully Yashasvi Jaiswal will also step up. There are a lot of players who have captained their franchises. I would not look at them as youngsters anymore. Yes, they are youngsters in terms of age and the amount of cricket they have played. But, I think overall, mentally and in their development as a cricketer, they have the leadership qualities that are needed. So, you don’t need a vice-captain who has to be announced. On the other hand, India will now play the second Test match against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. India has already taken a 1-0 lead in the Test series by winning the Chennai Test match by 280 runs.

He is very knowledgeable and experienced and it reflects in his bowling. His ability to understand the batsman before bowling is amazing.

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Akash Chopra said on Colors Cineplex- whether Pant is India’s greatest Test batsman or not, if MS Dhoni’s name is in that list then it will be questionable. However, if you look at the performance done in SENA countries, then Pant is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in South Africa, England and Australia. Chopra further said- He (Rishabh Pant) has already scored six centuries in Test cricket. For this he has played only 58 innings, even though he is not India’s greatest Test batsman right now, he can definitely end his career as the greatest player. On the other hand, if we talk about Pant, he is currently in action in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. After performing brilliantly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant will now be eyeing a better performance in the second Test match starting in Kanpur from September 27.

So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Praveen Kumar: Question: What do you have to say about your new role in LLC? Praveen Kumar:It feels great. Question: Can you coach the Indian team or any IPL team? Praveen Kumar: Yes, definitely, if someone gives me a chance I will definitely go. Question: You have played a lot with Rohit, he is also a very good friend of yours, did you think at that time that he would become such a successful captain of India? Praveen Kumar: It definitely seemed that he has quality. His captaincy is very simple, it is not like any hot-fisted captaincy, panicking, this is happening, he remains normal. It feels good when he captains. Question: If someone wants to become a fast bowler in India then what is most important for him? Praveen Kumar: See, some bowlers are natural. See, there are only a few bowlers who can bowl 150 balls, there is a little difference in their physique, their arm, Shoaib Akhtar’s arm is a little different, RP’s is also like that, Bumrah’s arm is also like that, otherwise bowlers from all over the world would have bowled 150 balls. That is because their training is different, their body is different, that is why they are different bowlers. Question: Bumrah is currently doing well in all three formats, so who can be the next Indian bowler like him? Praveen Kumar: No, there are a lot of boys. There is a boy named Akashdeep who is doing well, so boys are coming.
