DTVHINDIAakash Chopra feels Rishabh Pant can become India’s greatest Test batsman, read the big news
Pant has made a great comeback in Test cricket Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team cricketer Aakash Chopra has recently made a big statement about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Chopra has expressed doubt on whether Pant can be considered India’s greatest Test batsman or not? It is worth noting that after the terrible car accident in the year 2022, Pant has recently returned to red ball cricket in the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. On his return to Test cricket, Pant appeared in his old familiar style and proved his usefulness by scoring a century. Pant has scored 6 centuries in 34 Test matches played so far, which is equal to Dhoni’s 6 centuries scored in 90 Test matches. 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.

Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview with Crictracker (Source Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers team under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.

IND vs BAN: Brad Hogg selected India’s probable playing XI for the first test, showed Rahul and Akshar the way out
The first Test between India and Bangladesh will be played from November 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KL Rahul and Brad Hogg (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is going to be seen in action very soon. It is worth noting that the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is going to start from November 19. The first match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from November 19. So now former Australian player Brad Hogg has selected the Indian cricket team for this match. But you will be surprised to know that he has not given place to all-rounder Akshar Patel and experienced batsman KL Rahul, who are in great form, in this team. Apart from this, he has decided to play left-right batting player Ravindra Jadeja at number five in his team. Let us tell you that KL Rahul played for the India A team in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, in which he also scored a half-century in the second innings of the first match played at M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru. On the other hand, Jadeja has not played any competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, it is natural to have doubts on Hogg’s decision. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg said- The playing XI I am going with for India for the first Test match against Bangladesh is- Jaiswal, Rohit will open the batting. Gill at No. 3, Kohli at No. 4, and left-hander Ravindra Jadeja at No. 5 to maintain the left-right hand combination. Then there is Sarfaraz Khan, Pant and then you have bowlers where you have Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Siraj and Bumrah. Brad Hogg’s selection of India’s team against Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.
Neither Bumrah, nor Pandya, nor SKY, Dinesh Karthik called these two players India’s next all format captain
Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India won its second T20 World Cup title by defeating South Africa in Barbados on 29 June. After that victory, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from T20I. A few days later, Team India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also retired from this format. After that Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the captain of Team India’s T20 format. Now everyone has a question in their mind that when Rohit Sharma retires from all three formats, who will be the next captain of India in all three formats. Regarding this, former Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has given his answer. Dinesh Karthik has named two players who can become the captain of Team India in future. While making the prediction, he named batsman Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. Dinesh Karthik told who will be India’s next all format captain Dinesh Karthik was asked on Cricbuzz who can become the captain of the Indian team in the future, in response to this question he said, “As the next future captain of all formats of India, two players come straight to my mind who are young, have potential and can definitely lead India in all formats in the near future, one is Rishabh Pant and the other is Shubman Gill, both are captains of IPL teams and have also captained India. I think with time they have a chance to become captains of all formats for India.” In the same video, Karthik also told who is the better Test batsman between Virat Kohli and Joe Root? He said, “Look, the stats will tell you that it is Joe Root, but my heart is with Virat Kohli. In fact, he is someone whom I have seen play for more than a decade and I know how much he loves to play in those big moments, big series. When someone asks him questions, he will come back to you with such strong answers that you will say wow, if I was given a choice as to whose batting I would like to watch in my life, there is no doubt that I would name Virat Kohli.”
