Where is this Waqar Younis who keeps presenting himself as a big legend? I don’t understand how these two have been dropped.

On the other hand, after this poor performance of the Indian team in the match, a big statement has come from former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra. Chopra says that the Indian bowlers were not cruel in this match. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement After the end of the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel- We were not able to finish Sri Lanka’s innings in bowling. There seemed to be a sense of complacency that we would get wickets anyway and if we did not get wickets, we would chase the runs anyway. There was a lack of brutality in bowling. Chopra further said- I think we outplay the opponent and play spin very well on flat wickets. Our bowlers also bowl better than them on such pitches. However, when the pitches start turning, our batting becomes normal and the difference in bowling quality reduces. So, this is a problem they have to solve.

Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) According to the latest media reports, Indian cricket team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya may be seen playing for Baroda in the upcoming domestic cricket tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy.

He was last seen playing T20 cricket for Baroda in the year 2016, while he last played a first class match for his domestic team in the year 2018. However, since 2015, he has been seen playing IPL continuously, and during this time he emerged as an important player for Team India. At the same time, Pandya played an important role in Team India’s victory in the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

Whatmore says that Baroda’s star cricketer no longer plays for Baroda. Dav Whatmore lashed out at Hardik Pandya Let us tell you that recently while talking on a Pakistani YouTube channel Pak Passion, Dav Whatmore said – There are still some players who do not play white ball cricket. For example, in my last few years at Baroda, Hardik Pandya has never played white ball cricket. I am always surprised that he is called Baroda’s all-rounder, but he has not played for Baroda for years. This is something he is doing. Whatmore further said – But recently I have seen that BCCI wants cricketers to play in the other two formats along with Ranji Trophy, to ensure that they are watching cricket as cricket.

Father of IPL, Lalit Modi, while posting on X, wrote, ‘I am surprised to know that ICC is selling diamond category tickets for India-Pakistan match for 20 thousand dollars. This World Cup is to promote the game in America and engage the audience, not to make profit. Selling a ticket for $2750 is not cricket. Here is Lalit Modi’s tweet shocked to learn that @ICC is selling tickets for Diamond Club at $20000 per seat for the #indvspak WC game. The WC in the US is for game expansion & fan engagement, not a means to make profits on gate collections. $2750 for a ticket it’s just #notcricket #intlcouncilofcrooks pic.twitter.com/lSuDrxHGaO — Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) May 22, 2024 Let us tell you that due to political tension, bilateral series has not been played between India and Pakistan for the last decade.

“The worst thing that has happened in white ball cricket is the arrival of two new balls….”- Gambhir lashed out at ICC.
Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir is always known for his outspoken style and making bold statements. Recently he has criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC). He talked about a rule change that eliminated the art of spin bowling in ODI cricket. Gambhir has said that the worst thing that has happened in cricket is that in ODI cricket, 50 overs are bowled with two new balls. Let us tell you that in order to increase the power hitting ability in ODI cricket, ICC introduced a rule allowing two new balls in ODI matches in 2011. Gambhir has also targeted the ICC and said that if I had my way, I would remove the two-ball rule. Let us tell you that with the arrival of two new balls, the importance of finger spinners has gradually reduced in ODI cricket. Gautam Gambhir targeted ICC KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir “The worst thing that has happened in white-ball cricket is the introduction of two new balls,” he said in the Kutty Talks with Ashwin show on R Ashwin’s YouTube channel. I am saying this because with one decision you have taken away the entire skill of a finger spinner, be it a left arm spinner or an off spinner. You have two new balls and five fielders inside. How do you expect a finger spinner to be able to take any help from the pitch and be included in the final 11? This is the worst thing in white-ball cricket.” Gambhir has admitted that the white ball career of R Ashwin and Nathan Lyon has been short because they do not get any support from the ball and the pitch. He said, “I have said it everywhere. This rule has taken away the two best finger spinners in the world who should have played more white ball cricket, you (Ashwin) and Nathan Lyon. The reason you guys didn’t play was because there was nothing for you, despite all these odds on a flat track with power hitters on short boundaries and also with DRS.”
“Batting, bowling, fielding… poor performance of the team…” KL Rahul lashed out at the players after losing against KKR.
KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) In the 54th match of IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024, Lucknow Super Giants had to face a crushing defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. On Sunday, May 5, both the teams were face to face at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. In this match, Lucknow won the toss and decided to bowl first. Coming to bat first, KKR performed brilliantly with the bat and scored a total of 235 runs in the first innings. In reply, LSG could score only 137 runs in the run chase and ultimately lost the match by 98 runs. Interestingly, this was the first time in IPL 2024 that a team had scored 200 or more while batting first in seven matches in Lucknow. After the end of the match, LSG captain talked about his team’s poor performance and told why his team lost the match. Captain KL Rahul talked big after LSG’s defeat At the post match presentation ceremony KL Rahul Said, “There were a lot of runs to be scored in the second innings. When you are chasing big targets, you end up putting in too much effort and end up losing wickets. Overall just a poor performance by the team. We did not bowl well and the overall performance with bat, ball and fielding was poor. Sunil Narine and Phil Salt batted well in the powerplay. They always put a lot of pressure on the opposition team. Our young bowlers could not handle that kind of pressure and hit some good shots.” The LSG captain further said, “IPL is like that, you play against really good players and that is when your character is tested. We could not reach the target. The wicket was really good, it felt like it was a good wicket, there was a bit of bounce if you bowled hard and back of the length, but nothing out of the ordinary and it didn’t feel like the pitch was bad. 235 was probably 20 or 30 runs above the par score and our batting performance was really bad. When you are chasing such a big score you are under pressure.” The captain admitted, “The bowlers tried their best, but it is really a young group. The sooner you learn, the better it is for the team. When we have come against batsmen like Sunil and any powerful batsman, we have made some mistakes. This kind of attack creates pressure on our bowlers. Once we come back to the dressing room, the conversation will be to move forward from this defeat and learn from the mistakes we made in this match. Try to improve them and become better. We are ready for the next three matches. It is very clear to us, if you want to reach the top four, you have to win all the games. “This will give us some freedom to go out there and go into the game a little more fearless, a little braver.”
Virender Sehwag lashed out at Mumbai, demanded strict action against players including Pandya-support staff; Know the real reason?
Virender Sehwag demanded strict action against players including Hardik Pandya and support staff. Virender Sehwag (Pic Source : After the loss to Kolkata, Mumbai team is almost out of the playoff race. Mumbai has lost eight out of 11 matches and won only three matches. The performance of Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya has been very poor this season. Many veterans have said harsh things about Mumbai’s performance.

Along with this, he has also given a very strict statement on the team’s batting. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag pointed towards Pandya’s batting order. Sehwag says that when Pandya gujarat titans When he played for India, he always batted at number four. At the same time, the entire cricket world was surprised to see Pandya and Tim David coming to bat at number 7 and number 8. Sehwag urged the team owners to raise serious questions about this and suggested that an explanation should be sought behind such a major change in the batting order. Talking about the batting order of Hardik Pandya and Tim David, Sehwag said that- “When hardik pandya When he was the captain of Gujarat, he batted continuously at number four. so when he Mumbai What happened when Indians came? I am surprised to see experienced players coming in to bat so late and lower down the order. The team management should take strict action against the players and seek answers from them as to what is really happening and why the batting order has been changed. Here the team captain, batting coach, bowling coach and support staff are all guilty. Team owners need to take a tough stance.” Are Hardik-David such bad players? – Sehwag Regarding sending Pandya and David to bat late, Sehwag said- “KKR had saved Andre Russell for the last overs. But why did Mumbai Indians send Hardik Pandya and Tim David late. What did you get from it? There were still many balls and wickets left. You should have either come to bat early and finished the match early. I don’t understand what they do in the end. Are they (Pandya and David) such bad players that if they come to bat early they will get out?”
“Who bats first after winning the toss in Eden” – Aakash Chopra lashed out at Delhi Capitals.
Delhi Capitals’ recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders was something which the team will try to forget as soon as possible. Delhi suffered a seven-wicket defeat against two-time champions KKR and many believed the visitors made the mistake of winning the toss and opting to bat first at the Eden Gardens.

The 46-year-old player said that, in Kolkata, no one bats first; He also talked about how Sourav Ganguly should have known everything about the pitch, but still made a mistake. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Who bats first after winning the toss? I’m not much of a critic, but if it’s true I have to talk about it. The team that won the toss has batted first only twice in the last 30 matches here, and whoever did it, it is not that you always win chasing the target, but in Kolkata no one bats first.” He said, “Whatever happens, batting becomes a little easier later, but Delhi said they will bat first. I was surprised. If Sourav Ganguly couldn’t read this pitch, then who could? This pitch is like the back of his palm. You all know about it, so it was incomprehensible.”
Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Michael Vaughan for his comment ‘Joe Root will surpass Sachin’, know what he said?
Root recently became the cricketer with the most number of centuries (34) in Tests for England. Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan said in the Club Priory Fire podcast that the time is not far when Joe Root will surpass Sachin Tendulkar to become the highest run-scorer in Test cricket. It is worth noting that Joe Root recently performed brilliantly in the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka. And now he has become the first player from England to score the most centuries (34) in Test cricket. Now former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar’s reaction has come to light on this comment of Michael Vaughan. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big response Let us tell you that recently Gavaskar said in one of his columns written in Sports Star – Recently, I heard someone saying that it would be good for Test cricket if Joe Root surpasses Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most runs and centuries in Test match cricket. Gavaskar further said- Please tell us what is wrong with Test cricket at present, when Tendulkar has this record and how will Test cricket be better if an English player holds this record. How will it be better? Someone please tell me. This is a funny notion, because India plays more than half a dozen Test matches every season, be it at home or away. Just because the IPL is a massive success doesn’t mean the BCCI has no interest in promoting Test cricket, but the narrative is one that is being propagated by the West media.
