Jitesh Sharma or Sanju Samson? Who will get the T20 World Cup ticket, Aakash Chopra told
Jitesh Sharma has scored 31 runs in the series so far. Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma will get a chance before Sanju Samson in the third T20 match against Afghanistan in Bengaluru. Jitesh Sharma had a brilliant performance in the first T20I, scoring 31 runs in 20 balls in Mohali, but failed to open his account in Indore. Before the upcoming T20 World Cup, this will be India’s last match in the shortest format and with that, the team management can try a few things in this match. However, Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma should get more chances in the final playing XI as he is yet to cement his place. He also said that Samson will not be judged for just one match and pointed out that the cricketer always finds himself in a difficult situation. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that the question is whether you should keep Jitesh or Sanju at number 6. If Jitesh had completely confirmed his place, if there was no question mark before Jitesh’s name, he would definitely be going to the World Cup, you could have thought about Sanju. However, there is no confirmation yet regarding Jitesh. The former opening batsman further said, “There is another side to this also. Suppose you give Sanju a chance, will you test him in a match? This is wrong. Whoever you try, give him at least three chances. This has happened with Sanju throughout his career.” Rohit and Kohli are certain to play third T20 match: Chopra India captain Rohit Sharma failed to open his account in the first two T20Is of the series. On the other hand, Virat Kohli missed the first T20 match and played the second match, but could not take advantage of his good start. Thus, Chopra expects both the cricketers to be included in the playing XI for the third T20I against Afghanistan. Chopra said, “Rohit has not scored any runs, so he will have to play. Virat Kohli has played only one match so far, so he will have to play. Yashasvi has also played only one match, so he will also have to play.” Also read: Virat will go to Ayodhya to attend the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 22

Know why Virat Kohli’s fans put Harsha Bhogle on social media
Kohli was returning to T20 International cricket after about 14 months. Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli was seen playing against Afghanistan in the second T20 match held at Holkar Stadium in Indore on January 14 after about 14 months. In this match, Kohli came to bat in the very first over after Rohit Sharma was out for a duck for the second consecutive time. Kohli played a fast innings in the match and played a brilliant inning of 29 runs in 14 balls with the help of 5 fours. So, India won the match by 6 wickets on the basis of excellent batting of Shivam Dubey (63* runs, 32 balls) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (68 runs, 34 balls). On the other hand, well-known cricket expert Harsha Bhogle gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli’s innings in this match and said that it was an innings which the team needed. Apart from this, he further said that this cameo is better than scoring 50 runs in 40 balls while chasing 170 runs. Let us tell you that regarding Kohli’s innings, Harsha Bhogle said through a post from his official But from a T20 point of view, this was the kind of innings any team would want. Out of the six batsmen of the team, one scored runs at a rate higher than the required run rate. But Kohli is a great player and we expect and think this performance was very disappointing. An innings of 29(16) played by Jaiswal and Gill would be much more accepted. However, it should also be seen in the same way. It is commendable that at this stage of his career, Kohli is challenging himself in the shortest format of the game. 29(16) while chasing 170 is a better innings than 50 in 40 balls. On the other hand, this comment of Bhogle did not go down well with the cricket fans and they responded to Bhogle and started criticizing him.

“He will lose his consistency…”- Aakash Chopra gave a strong warning to Virat Kohli
Aakash Chopra was the batsman who scored the most runs in the World Cup 2023. Virat Kohli and Aakash Chopra. (Image Source: X) Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has spoken openly about Virat Kohli. He revealed what impact Virat Kohli can make in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in West Indies and United States of America (USA) this June. Let us tell you that Kohli made a comeback to India’s T20I team during the second match against Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. He last played in the shortest format of the game in the T20 World Cup in 2022. During the Indore T20I, Kohli scored 29 runs in 16 balls at a strike rate of 181.25, which included five fours. The most interesting thing about that is that, Aakash Chopra believed that the former India captain would be a big threat to the opposing teams in the marquee event. The 46-year-old also mentioned Kohli’s career strike rate which is around 138. Chopra also believes that Kohli can change gears whenever needed and play as per the match situation. Aakash Chopra is praising Virat Kohli a lot Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that Kohli has all types of gear. He can play fast or slow. He can also play run-a-ball. Kohli is at his best when he lasts for a long period of time. You are afraid of going to the forest because there is a lion there. It is not inevitable that a lion will eat you whenever you enter the forest, but the knowledge of the lion being there scares you. Virat Kohli is that lion. When Virat Kohli is at the crease, the opposing teams are always scared. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra believes that the matches of T-20 World Cup 2024 will not be high scoring. He further mentioned the 35-year-old’s innings against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup and said that they should adopt a similar approach in the upcoming edition. He further said, “Sher needs to be present on the pitch, especially on pitches where the total will be between 160 and 180. 220 will not be the total there. So you expect Virat Kohli to stand there and accelerate later on. That innings which was called a century innings, the one in Pakistan, there also you would find that he was going a little higher than a run-a-ball. He stepped up in the end and won the match for India. If Virat becomes over-aggressive, there is a lack of consistency, which you don’t want.” Also read: DSG captain Keshav Maharaj’s special message to Indian fans
