T20 World Cup: “When you play in West Indies and USA, you will need these players there”- Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that India will need the experience of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the 2024 T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and America in June. Both the players have not played a single T20I match since the 10-wicket defeat against England in the 2022 World Cup semi-final. Since then, the team management and selection committee have continuously given opportunities to young players in this format. After missing out on winning the title with a crushing defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the upcoming T20 World Cup is being considered as another important opportunity for Kohli and Rohit to win the ICC trophy. However, looking at the kind of team with which Team India has played the T20 World Cup since the 2022 World Cup, it is still not certain whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play in the upcoming T20 World Cup or not. However, Irfan Pathan believes that the team management should give a chance to Rohit and Virat in the team for T-20 World 2024. Playing of Virat and Rohit depends on their fitness – Irfan Pathan During a conversation on a show on Star Sports, Irfan Pathan said that, “Personally, I would love to see Virat on the field because when we talk about two years ago, he was definitely not in his best form. But the last IPL and T20 was one of the most amazing tournaments for him, Also, when you are playing in countries like West Indies and USA, no one knows about the pitch there, and here you will need experienced players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both on and off the field. “ He further said, “Playing of both the players also depends on the team management and their fitness, but I would like to see both of them on the field, especially when Rohit has also changed his form and he is scoring a lot of runs in ODI cricket. Have been.” Also read: Pat Cummins’ magic continues even in the year 2024
“It is good that the match ended so quickly and no player got injured” – DK’s statement regarding the Cape Town Test.
Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Twitter) Experienced Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik believes that if the Cape Town Test match had lasted longer, it would have become even more difficult to bat on the pitch there. In fact, in the recently concluded test match between South Africa and India, Team India won by 7 wickets. This test match did not last even for two days. In this way it became the shortest match in the history of Test cricket. A total of 642 balls were bowled in this entire test match. Meanwhile, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has also given his reaction regarding the pitch and he did not seem happy with the pitch of the second test. In fact, after the end of this test match, the Cape Town pitch is being criticized everywhere. It’s good that the Cape Town Test match ended early – Dinesh Karthik Speaking to Cricbuzz about the Cape Town pitch, Dinesh Karthik said, “If more cracks had opened up on the pitch over time, batting could have been really difficult. It would have been difficult in such a way that the batsmen could have suffered body injuries. So in a way, it’s good that the match ended so quickly and no players were injured. Dinesh Karthik also said that, Jasprit Bumrah’s six wickets swung the momentum back in India’s favour. The momentum quickly shifted in favor of the hosts after the Proteas took six wickets without giving away any runs and wrapped up the Indian innings. The wicketkeeper batsman further said, “We needed seven wickets and the Test could have gone either way. But he (Bumrah) comes and takes five wickets and shows that he is on a mission. Some of the greatest bowlers in the world would be envious of his stats. I can promise that right now there will be no batsman in the world who would want to bat against him.” Also read: Melbourne Stars got a big shock in the ongoing BBL season
“Having captaincy or not will not make any difference” – Irfan Pathan said about Rohit’s batting.
Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that Rohit Sharma will adopt the same aggressive attitude in IPL 2024 which he had adopted in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Let us tell you that Mumbai Indians (MI) bought Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans (GT) before the IPL 2024 auction. Later, he appointed Baroda all-rounder (Hardik Pandya) as his captain in place of Rohit for the upcoming edition of this cash rich league. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Mumbai Indians have won five IPL titles. During a discussion on Star Sports, Pathan was asked whether Rohit will play more freely in IPL 2024 since he is no longer the captain. Responding to this, Irfan said, “Weren’t there captaincy restrictions on him in the 50-over World Cup? There too he was the captain and played with an amazing strike rate. I think it will not make any difference whether there is captaincy or not. He has changed his outlook for some time now, it will make a difference in a short time. I think he will continue that template.” The former Indian all-rounder said that Rohit’s positive batting approach has benefited him a lot in recent times. Irfan said that, “It took him about a year and a half to achieve that template. Earlier, Rohit Sharma used to take his time for the first two or three overs and then score runs quickly. In the last two years, he took the responsibility and said that he will score fast runs from the first over and he has started getting the results now.”
Jaiswal is troubled by the fear of being dropped from the Test team, that is why he is praising captain Rohit a lot.
He further said, “Rohit Sharma helps me maintain a positive mindset, and we need to score runs quickly against the new ball. I just wanted to give a good start and that was all I had in mind because we had to win the match.”
Rohit and Virat are ready to play T20 series, now the future of their T20I career is in the hands of selectors.
After the end of the South Africa tour, Team India now has to play a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. Team India will be announced soon for this series. At this time, there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play for Team India in this T20 series or not. Meanwhile, a recent report said that veteran Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have expressed their desire to play in the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan. Let us tell you that, since the 2022 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have not played a single T20 match for India. The selection committee is scheduled to meet on Friday to finalize the squad for the three T20 matches starting with Afghanistan on January 11, followed by a five-match Test series against England on January 25. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Rohit and Kohli playing in a T-20 match on the field once again. However, with key players like Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav unavailable due to injuries, the selection committee will be faced with the challenge of appointing a new captain for the T20Is. Additionally, the committee is considering resting fast bowling pair Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming matches against Afghanistan. Both Siraj and Bumrah played important roles in India’s recent win over South Africa, ending the two-match Test series with a draw. In such a situation, the selection committee will try to keep Bumrah and Siraj fit for the Test series against England by giving them rest. India’s three-match T20 series against Afghanistan is scheduled to begin on January 11 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. After this, the second and third T20 matches will be played on January 14 and 17 at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore and M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru respectively.

When the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there – Aakash Chopra
The Cape Town Test match was over in less than two days. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India recently registered a historic win by defeating South Africa by 7 wickets in Cape Town. This was the shortest match in the history of Test cricket. (depending on the balls). After this match, there is discussion everywhere about the pitch of Cape Town. In this match played in Cape Town, the fast bowlers got a lot of help from the pitch and the batsmen had to struggle to a great extent to score runs. In this series, now former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion. He believes that whenever the pitch is bad, Team India performs its best in that difficult situation. While hosting JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’, Aakash Chopra gave his opinion about the Cape Town pitch. Indian team never complains about the pitch – Aakash Chopra Chopra said, “When a Test match lasts for one and a half days, some results also come. There are some talks regarding the pitch. Some questions have been asked. India have never complained about the quality of the pitches offered. Last time the Wanderers pitch was really bad. To be honest, some players could have got hurt due to this. This pitch of Cape Town was also bad. India still focused on the match and did not complain. I also remember that pitch in Perth (Australia). And it was really bad. You can’t justify a pitch where the ball comes off good length and goes over the keeper’s head. There also India did not say anything. He just competed and showed fighting spirit. In fact, when the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there. I think neither such pitches nor dusty pitches are good for the game in India. This is simply not good for the game of cricket.” Also read: Brett Lee seen talking in Hindi in Big Bash League, watch video
