DTVHINDISL vs IND: Before the first T20 match, this Sri Lankan bowler became a fan of this Indian legend, said- I learn a lot from him…
This Sri Lankan cricketer has played a lot of cricket in the IPL under the captaincy of this player. Maheesh Theekshana and ms dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. Team India’s tour will begin with the first T20 match on Saturday, 27 July. However, before the start of this tour of the Indian team, a big statement has come from Sri Lanka cricket team spin bowler Mahesh Theekshana. Teeksha says that she has learned a lot from MS Dhoni in bowling. Let us tell you that in IPL, Teeksha has played for Chennai Super Kings under Dhoni’s captaincy for many seasons. Mahesh Theekshana gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, as quoted by Hindustan Times, Mahish Teeksha said- I have learned many things from MS Dhoni. But especially, how he helped me bowl to those batsmen who used to play sweep shots against me. Teeksha further said- With my action I will bowl fast, but he will still hit the boundary. He asked me to bowl a little fuller, similarly I also developed my yorker ball. I have gradually gained confidence while bowling in the death overs. Dhoni always has a plan, but he first focuses on the bowler’s plan and if it doesn’t work only then he guides you by telling you about his planning. On the other hand, if we give you information about 23-year-old Mahish Theekshana, he will be seen playing for Sri Lanka in the ongoing three-match T20 series against India. It will be interesting to see how he is going to perform in this series? But in the recently concluded Lanka Premier League 2024, Theekshana took a total of 10 wickets at an economy rate of 7.35.
After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement
After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.
