Former South African captain Graeme Smith has given his stand regarding the return of both these players to the Indian team. Speaking to ANI, Graeme Smith said, ‘Looking at the amount of cricket the Indian team plays, it can be said that it is important to give rest to all the players from time to time and new players should also be given a chance. We have seen that many young players from India perform very well in the IPL and they have left their mark in the T20 format as well. I think the coach and selection panel should understand what the players need and what kind of players they need on which pitches. It is not so easy to select players with the kind of talent India has: Graeme Smith The former South African captain further said, ‘India has no dearth of talent and that is why they face a lot of difficulty in selecting players. According to me, along with the experienced players, some young players should also be included and only then the team will perform well. Let us tell you, Rohit and Virat had earlier played a T20 match against Australia in the World Cup. Afghanistan has also announced its team for this tour. Now it remains to be seen whether Afghanistan can give competition to India in its own backyard or not?

Harmanpreet Kaur (Photo Source: Twitter) Australia women’s team defeated the Indian team by 6 wickets in the second T20 match played at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on January 7. In this match, all the players from Australia women’s team performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team. Not only this, after the second T20, now Australia women’s team has tied 1-1 in the three-match T20 series. In this match, young player Shreyanka Patil from the Indian women’s team failed to leave her mark. In this match, he gave 40 runs in four overs and took only one wicket. Let us tell you, Australia women’s team needed 15 runs in the last two overs to win this match but Shreyanka Patil gave away 17 runs in the 19th over of the match and Australia easily won this match. Before this over, the young player had given 23 runs in three overs. Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur found Shreyanka Patil’s performance very poor and reprimanded the young bowler. If Shreyanka Patil had bowled well in her last over, things might have been different: Harmanpreet Kaur After the match was over, Harmanpreet Kaur said at the presentation, ‘If Shreyanka Patil had bowled well in her last over, perhaps things could have been different. We were continuously taking wickets in the middle overs and we were also getting chances which was a very positive thing. He still desperately needs changes in his game. We have played a lot of such matches but there are many young faces in the team. I have full hope that all the players will want to improve their game. Taking cognizance of Harmanpreet’s comments about her teammate, former Indian fast bowler Doda Ganesh criticized the Indian captain for throwing Shreyanka under the bus. To this the captain of the Indian women’s team replied, ‘It is not right to throw a 19 year old girl under the bus.’ Throwing a 19yo kid under the bus is not done #INDvAUS — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) January 7, 2024 So far, two T20 matches have been played between the two teams and now the third and final T20 will be played on the same ground on January 9.

A new earthquake is about to come in Indian cricket, selectors do not want to see Rohit and Kohli together in T20Is.

Virat Kohli is unlikely to be selected in the T20 series against Afghanistan Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team’s recently concluded South Africa tour has ended on a good note. Let us tell you that during the Test series of this tour, the team has made history by winning the Cape Town Test match. So now once again after red ball cricket, in white ball cricket, the Indian team is going to face the Afghanistan cricket team in a three-match T20 series. However, the future of former captain Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game is in limbo. It is noteworthy that Rohit and Kohli, who are called the heart and heartbeat of Indian cricket, played the last match for India against England in the T20 World Cup in November 2022. Both the players have not played any T20 match for almost a year. However, both the players have expressed their desire to play in the T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and USA in June this year. So now the question arises whether the selectors of the Indian team are ready to select both the players. Let us tell you that according to some recent media reports, Rohit’s place is not in danger in T20 cricket, because he was seen performing amazingly in the World Cup 2023. Apart from this, the place of injured Hardik Pandya is also considered confirmed. But this is not the case with Virat Kohli. Kohli may be out of T20 If PTI’s latest media reports are to be believed, Kohli’s strike rate is a big reason, and the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar is not keen on including Rohit and Kohli in the team together. It is noteworthy that selectors chairman Ajit Agarkar had reached South Africa some time ago. Here he talked to both the experienced players and both of them declared themselves available for the T20 World Cup. Well, now it will be worth watching whether Kohli gets a place in T20 cricket for India or not?

When the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there – Aakash Chopra

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
