“He is the most dangerous bowler…”, former Indian coach said about Mohammad Siraj
When the conditions are right and the ball keeps reversing, Siraj is probably one of the most dangerous bowlers in world cricket – Bharat Arun Mohammad Siraj (Photo Source: Team India has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home from 19 September next month. Before this series, some Indian players are going to play in the upcoming season of Duleep Trophy. At the same time, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shami and Jaspreet Bumrah are on rest. Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj was going to play for Team-B in the Duleep Trophy, but has been ruled out of the first round due to illness. Meanwhile, India’s former bowling coach Bharat Arun has made a big statement about Siraj. Bharat Arun says that Siraj is one of the most dangerous bowlers in the world. Along with this, the former coach has also suggested Team India to look for other fast bowling options. Many bowlers bowl at the speed of 140-150 in IPL- Bharat Arun Team India has to tour Australia at the end of the year for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The team has a lot of depth in batting, but the fast bowling attack is weak. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj, Mohammed Shami, the team does not have any fourth option. Young bowlers like Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep have made their Test debuts, but no one knows whether they will be able to be effective on Australian soil or not. Shardul Thakur, who played an important role in the victory in the last series in Australia, is currently out of form. Former Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun has suggested to the management that they should look for some other options in the fast bowling attack by the end of November. Bharat Arun also stressed that it is important to become a good red ball format fast bowler before anything else if one wants to play for India for a long time. Speaking to the Indian Express, he said, It is a question of identifying the right bowlers and giving them the opportunity to prepare for the Australia tour. A lot of bowlers bowl at 140-150 in the IPL. So it is about training them properly and giving them experience. Red ball cricket is something these bowlers have to get used to. We have time but we need to prepare them by giving them enough overs. Bharat Arun further said, In first-class cricket you bowl on unresponsive pitches. You have to bowl smartly, otherwise you have to learn to reverse the ball because such are the conditions in our country. I think that helped Siraj and Shami a lot. That’s why when the conditions are right and the ball keeps reversing, Siraj is probably one of the most dangerous bowlers in world cricket.
“I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years” – Lakshya Sen
Laxmi Sen and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Lakshya Sen is the modern-day superstar of Indian badminton, especially after his stellar performance at the Paris Olympics. The Almora-born shuttler missed out on a bronze medal at Paris 2024, but Sen received a lot of praise after beating several high-ranked opponents during the Olympic Games. Lakshya Sen impressed everyone with his game at the Paris Olympics 2024. After the semi-finals, he had to face a close defeat in the bronze medal match. If he had won the medal, he would have become the first male badminton player from India. However, he could not do so. Recently Lakshya Sen talked about his goals in the coming days. His goal is to become one of the biggest players of Indian badminton. He has clearly said that he wants to make a name for himself in badminton just like Virat Kohli has a name in cricket. I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years – Lakshya Sen When Lakshya Sen was asked in the TRS podcast that you are called the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton, do you take this as a compliment? On this Lakshya said, “Why not, I mean if he is saying this then it is a good thing, but it is also true that he has done a lot for Indian cricket and yes, I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years.” Lakshya Sen is just 23 years old and he has already achieved a lot, but he wants to have the same kind of name in badminton as Virat has in cricket. Lakshya has definitely disappointed in Paris but this player is just 23 years old and is hardworking, he is going to live badminton. Because of this, we can hope that Lakshya will do wonders in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in 2028 and will bring a medal for the country. Let us tell you that Lakshya won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham in 2022. Lakshya has also won gold in the Thomas Come held in Bangkok in 2022.

Top 10 Worst Fielders in Cricket: See the list of 10 worst fielders in the world – 3 Indian players are also included
All of them gave their best performance in batting and bowling for their country but performed very poorly in fielding. Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Top 10 Worst Fielders in Cricket: In the history of cricket, many great players have reached the pinnacle of greatness by scoring runs and wickets. However, there are some cricketers who have made shameful records in their name due to laziness and poor fielding. All of them have performed their best in batting and bowling for their country but have performed very poorly in fielding. In this article, we will tell the names of those 10 cricketers of the world who are very bad fielders- 10. Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly. (Photo by Soumitra Ghosh/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) Former Indian captain and one of the opening batsmen Sourav Ganguly may have won matches for the team with the bat, but when it came to fielding, he was a liability on the team. Ganguly was a bad catcher and his dive was very awkward. 9. Lasith Malinga Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga. (Photo by Saeed KHAN / AFP) Former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga, famously known as the Yorker King, is at the top in bowling. But when it comes to fielding, he is in the list of very bad fielders. Malinga used to make mistakes in judging the direction of the ball. If he was not a good bowler, he would probably not have got any place in the team. 8. Shoaib Akhtar Shoaib Akhtar (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) One of the fastest bowlers in the world, Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar used to scare the best batsmen with his fast bowling. However, he used to be a lazy player when it came to running behind the ball to stop a boundary. 7. Javagal Srinath Javagal Srinath. (Photo by Ross Setford/Getty Images) Javagal Srinath was one of the best fast bowlers in the world for more than a decade. He was also one of India’s greatest bowlers, but there is no doubt that he was a poor fielder. Batsmen would often take two runs when the ball came to him. 6. Morne Morkel Morne Morkel of South Africa. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) South African players are usually known for their excellent fielding, however, fast bowler Morne Morkel was different. Morne, who has been one of the best fast bowlers in the world, was a liability for the team as a fielder. Due to his tall stature, he was neither able to save runs quickly nor take good catches. He often made easy catches difficult, which is a characteristic of a poor fielder. 5. Glenn McGrath Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath is one of the greatest players in the world. But his fielding was a big problem for the Australian team. He was the worst fielder from the Australian team of his time. 4. Arjuna Ranatunga Arjuna Ranatunga. (© Getty Images) Former Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga is one of the…

5 Indian players who played only one T20 match in their international career
Such is the impact of T20 cricket that several players have retired from ODIs and Tests to focus solely on the 20-over format. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag (Image Source: AFP) T20 cricket is slowly ruling the cricket world. Every country has domestic T20 leagues and this is because the shorter format is more thrilling and entertaining. Viewers get to see the thrill of a cricket match in just three and a half hours, which makes the shortest format even more attractive for fans. The impact of T20 cricket is such that many players have retired from ODIs and Tests to focus only on the 20-over format. However, on the other hand, there are players who were able to play only a few T20 matches in their career. Today we will talk about such Indian players whose first T20 match was also their last match. 5 Indian players who have played only one T20 match 1. Dinesh Mongia Chandigarh-born Dinesh Mongia played his only T20I match for India against South Africa in 2006. He played 57 ODIs and scored 38 runs in his T20I debut batting at No. 3. He faced 45 balls and helped India get close to the target of 127 runs before getting dismissed by Robin Peterson. However, Mongia was not selected for the 2007 T20 World Cup and his IPL career did not last long. This ended his T20 international career after just one match. 2. Murali Karthik Murali Kartik played his only T20 match against Australia in 2007. He made his place in the team by performing brilliantly in the domestic series. In his debut T20 match, he gave 27 runs in 4 overs, but could not take any wicket. India won that match, but Karthik could not make a comeback in the T20 team. Later he continued his career as a cricket expert and commentator. Murali Karthik also played for 4 IPL franchises during his career. 3. Karan Sharma Karn Sharma played his only T20 match against England in 2014. He was included in the national team after performing brilliantly for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. In his debut match, he took the important wicket of Joe Root by giving 28 runs in 4 overs. However, India lost that match by 3 runs and Karn Sharma never got a chance in the T20 team again. Currently, Karn’s leg spin has not been as effective, which has reduced his chances of returning to the Indian team. 4. Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid, famously known as ‘The Wall’ of the Indian team, played his first and only T20 match in 2012. This match was against England, in which Rahul was included in the team due to injured players. Rahul Dravid silenced his critics by scoring 31 runs in this match and hitting three consecutive sixes. Despite his innings played at a strike rate of 147.61, India lost the match. Dravid’s T20 career ended after this one match. 5. Sachin Tendulkar Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, also played only one T20 match in…
After Shikhar Dhawan, now these three Indian players can also retire from international cricket
Today i.e. on 24th August, Indian team’s legendary opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has retired from international cricket. Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha and Cheteshwar Pujara (Pic Source-X) Today, on 24 August, Indian team’s veteran opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has retired from international cricket. Shikhar Dhawan announced this by sharing a video on his official social media account. Let us tell you, Shikhar Dhawan’s performance has always been tremendous in international cricket and there are many young players who consider him as their idol. Shikhar Dhawan played his last international match against Bangladesh in December 2022. He played a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in which the opener scored a total of 18 runs. Since this series, Shikhar Dhawan has not got a place in the Indian team. Now after Shikhar Dhawan, there are some other experienced players who can retire from international cricket. Today we tell you about three such Indian batsmen who can be seen retiring from international cricket very soon. 1. Cheteshwar Pujara Cheteshwar Pujara. (Image Source: Sportstar) Cheteshwar Pujara has been one of the important players of the Indian team in Test cricket. He has participated in many important matches in Test cricket on behalf of the Indian team. However, Cheteshwar Pujara has not been seen playing international cricket for a long time. He played his last match in the final of the World Test Championship against Australia. Cheteshwar Pujara has been playing in the England County Championship for some time now and has left his mark here too. For some time now, the Indian team has also given many young players a chance in the Test format and they have also performed very well in it. It seems very difficult for Cheteshwar Pujara to return to the Indian team now and this is the reason why he may retire from international cricket very soon.

Uthappa said – We are going to talk about depression and suicide. We recently heard about Graham Thorpe and David Johnson. VB Chandra Shekhar sir who was the rock of CSK. I have been there too, and it was not a memorable journey. It (mental depression) is debilitating, you feel like you are a burden to the people you love. It is challenging and you feel like you are less valuable. Uthappa further said- In 2011, I was very ashamed of my existence as a human being. It is absolutely okay that you do not know what to do next. Sometimes just being there for that one day takes you forward. Often you do not need the light at the end of the tunnel. You only need the light on the next step. We have heard of many people who ended their lives due to depression. I have personally felt this. When I was going through clinical depression, I often felt like I was a burden. I was looking for answers. A look at Robin Uthappa’s cricket career On the other hand, if we tell you about Uthappa’s cricket career, he has played 46 ODIs and 13 T20 matches for the Indian team, in which he has scored 934 and 249 runs respectively.
