“This seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Rohit’s captaincy
Team India has made three changes in the playing XI for the Pune Test match against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: The Indian team is currently playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand. The second test match of the series is being played at Pune MCA Stadium. Three changes have been made in the playing 11 for this match. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma have entered the second test with a new team combination. The problems of the Indian team have increased after losing the first test of the three-match series against New Zealand. Keeping this in mind, Rohit has given a chance to Akash Deep, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar in the playing 11 of the Pune Test match, while Mohammad Siraj, KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav have been kept on the bench. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also raised a valid question regarding this. When Shubman Gill returned to the playing XI fit, KL Rahul was dropped to make his place in the team. While Kuldeep Yadav, who did not do anything special in Bengaluru, Washington Sundar was brought in his place in the team, while Mohammad Siraj also did not look in that rhythm in Bengaluru and Akashdeep has been entered in his place in the playing XI. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding the changes in Team India Regarding this change, former legend Sunil Gavaskar believes that for the second Test against New Zealand, India might have nervously included Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven. Gavaskar told the match broadcasters after the toss on Thursday, “It seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team. “You don’t often make three changes in a team.” Gavaskar said, “Unless there is an injury concern, I don’t see many teams making three changes. The inclusion of Washington Sundar shows that they are worried about their batting. More than bowling, they need his batting lower down the order.” He said, ‘Yes, there is a lot of discussion about left-handed batsmen in New Zealand’s batting unit, but I would choose Kuldeep Yadav because his ball moves outside off for left-handed batsmen.

A similar plan was made by the International Cricket Council during the T20 World Cup 2024, which was played in the USA. The organizers are yet to decide on the venue for the match. According to the report of Sportico, ‘Like other new sports, cricket is also facing difficulty in finalizing the venue. But the venue is very less. Actually, the organizers of LA28 want that Indian fans can enjoy cricket thoroughly and for this they will have to finalize a great venue. Cricket matches can be played in different venues in USA If cricket matches are played in New York, it will not be the first time that a game is being played outside the host city.

Rohit scored two centuries and one half-century in 15 Test innings this year but could score only 497 runs in the remaining 13 innings.

“Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT” – former veteran cricketer said about Mayank Yadav
The batsmen dominated the recently concluded T20I series between India and Bangladesh. In this entire series, Indian batsmen scored a lot of runs against Bangladeshi bowlers. However, Bangladeshi batsmen could not score runs against fast bowler Mayank Yadav, who got a chance to debut at the beginning of the series. Although he took only four wickets in three matches, he constantly troubled everyone with his pace bowling. Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra recently told how the think tank of the Indian team did not delay in giving match time to Mayank Yadav. This decision of the team management proved to be right in the end. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Mayank Yadav In a video on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When we are talking about the quest of this series, we need to talk about Mayank Yadav. He has been fast tracked. He has hardly played any first class matches and came straight into the Indian team. He had recently returned from injury. He didn’t play any competitive cricket and suddenly he was playing for India.” The former batsman further said, “That is definitely one of the big positives because he is also part of the traveling reserves. I think the Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT, at least to keep him with the team. However, I think it might be a bit early because the exposure to first-class cricket hasn’t come yet, sometimes, you go with your gut and say let’s try because that can make a difference.” Talking about his performance in all three matches, Aakash Chopra said that he was happy that Mayank not only bowled in all the matches but he was also bowled with a brand new ball in the third T20I compared to the second and fourth T20Is. It was done, which was a good thing for him.
