Prithvi was once a rising talent in Indian cricket, he was also called the next Sachin Tendulkar of India. Prithvi made his debut for India at the age of 18 and created history by scoring a century. But then due to poor form and fitness, he started dropping. Prithvi played his last match for India in July 2021 against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Meanwhile, recently Prithvi Shaw shared the story of his first meeting with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Prithvi Shaw met Sachin Tendulkar for the first time at the age of 9. Prithvi Shaw revealed that he was just 9 years old when he saw Sachin Tendulkar in person for the first time. The batsman came to know that Sachin also plays in MIG, so he went to that club and started practicing. Shaw told that, he wanted to take a photo with Sachin sir, but there were too many people so he could not take it. Then club coach Jagadish sir requested Sachin Tendulkar to watch Prithvi batting. When Tendulkar was watching Prithvi bat, Shaw missed two-three balls due to pressure. Prithvi Shaw while talking on Focused Indian YouTube channel said, I came to know that Sachin sir also plays in MIG (Middle Income Group Ground). Then I came to that club and started practicing. Then I saw Sachin sir playing for the first time. I saw him in person for the first time. I watched from a distance, apparently he was practicing on the main wicket, then he left, at that time I did not take a photo because there were a lot of people there. At that time I was about 9 years old. And then the next time I was batting, we were batting on the middle wicket, then Jagdish sir requested Sachin sir to watch me bat once. Prithvi further said, Sachin Sir was standing on the first floor of MIG Club, he was watching. I saw that sir was watching. Now what happened under that pressure, I missed two-three balls. Till then I was batting okay. Now when Sachin sir was standing, my eyes were above the ball, I was not even looking at the ball, then it came down, then I played a little well, then had a little conversation with the next player.
“Make Akshar the captain, he is greatly underestimated”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the captaincy of DC.
Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) should appoint Axar Patel as their captain before KL Rahul for IPL 2025. He said that the spin-bowling all-rounder has been a great performer for the franchise and will lead the team well. Delhi Capitals had released their last season’s captain Rishabh Pant before the auction, while retaining Akshar for ₹16.50 crore. They failed to re-acquire Pant but bought Rahul for ₹14 crore. Delhi Capitals should make Akshar Patel the captain – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Who will be the captain? Their situation is like KKR. Could be Akshar Patel. I have no objection to him becoming the captain. If you give me a choice, I would say make Akshar the captain. He is very underrated, very mature, performs brilliantly and will run the team very well. He is a player who will be respected.” Delhi Capitals have included KL Rahul in their camp by paying Rs 14 crore, this is also being said to be the steeliest deal of this auction. On one hand, the bid for Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer has crossed Rs 26 crores, on the other hand, if a team gets a player like KL Rahul for Rs 14 crores, then it would not be wrong to call it the steeliest deal. Chopra further said, “KL Rahul can be another option. The third option could be Faf du Plessis, if they so choose, but they cannot start Faf from the start as they have used the Right to Match (RTM) card for Jake Fraser-McGurk. So I am thinking between Akshar and Rahul, but the management has not given any clarity yet. My vote is in favor of Akshar because his performance on this field has been exceptional.”

Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the second match between Australia and India to be held in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – I think, for some reason if we can continue the same batting order like KL. And if Yashasvi opens, then Rohit can come at number three, and Shubman Gill can come at number five. If Rohit wants to open, then KL should bat at number 3. Nothing after this. But I think he (KL Rahul) should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I hope we will not tamper with it.

IPL 2025: Jitesh Sharma beats Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in the matter of fee increase in mega auction, read big news
RCB bought Jitesh for Rs 11 crore in the mega auction. Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) On 24th and 25th November of this month, the mega auction for IPL 2025 was seen in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All the 10 franchises involved in this mega auction spent a total of Rs 383 crore to buy 120 players. Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was the first player to be sold in this auction. Arshdeep was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore. So in this auction, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has become the most expensive player to be sold in the history of IPL. Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a huge amount of Rs 27 crores. So Shreyas Iyer was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore. However, in this mega auction, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma has left behind players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in terms of salary increase percentage. Let us tell you that in this auction, Jitesh had kept his base price at Rs 2 crore, but in the IPL 2024 season, his salary was Rs 20 lakh and he was seen playing for Punjab Kings. But in this mega auction, Jitesh was added to the IPL 2016 season’s runner-up Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by paying a huge amount of Rs 11 crore. So this is a 5500 percent increase in Jitesh’s IPL salary. This increase has not been seen in the salary of any IPL player yet. Jitesh will play the role of finisher in RCB in IPL 2025 Let us tell you that Jitesh Sharma made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings in IPL 2022. So in the next two years the player’s strike rate was 163 and 156. However, IPL 2024 was a forgettable one for the player. Last season, he was able to score only 187 runs at a meager strike rate of 131. So after the retirement of Dinesh Karthik, RCB has included Jitesh in the team as a finisher.
Why is Jasprit Bumrah the world’s number 1 bowler? Former Pakistani veteran enumerated his merits
In the first Test against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah & Wasim Akram (Photo Source: Jasprit Bumrah is currently the world number-1 bowler. He is performing brilliantly for India in all three formats. He won the title of Player of the Tournament by taking 15 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. Due to Bumrah’s bowling, the fate of the final match was turned and India defeated South Africa. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Bumrah was recently seen captaining India in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Under his captaincy, India made a great start to the series by defeating Australia by 295 runs in Perth. Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. He took 5 wickets for 30 runs in the first innings and 3 wickets for 42 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, recently former Pakistani legendary bowler Wasim Akram told why Bumrah is a world-class bowler? For this reason Jasprit Bumrah is a different bowler Wasim Akram says Bumrah’s unique bowling technique, his extraordinary release point, which is approximately 34 centimeters ahead of the popping crease, is an important factor. He said that most bowlers usually release from within 10 centimeters of the line. And the extra 24 centimeters by Bumrah is an advantage, allowing the ball to accelerate towards the batsman in an almost unpredictable manner. Wasim Akram while talking on Star Sports said, Bumrah’s bowling arm comes from behind (shoulder), which is hyper-extension and finally as we say in Punjabi “tunka” a flick of the wrist which skids the ball, which as a batsman you do not expect. Especially on wickets where the ball stays low, he has troubled the batsmen with an action that is natural and very difficult to get off with a flick of the wrist at the end. No batter is 💯confident when they see #JaspritBumrah rushing at them!#JaspritBumrah‘s wrist action and skidding of the ball makes it unplayable for Aussie batters!#AUSvINDOnStar 👉 2nd Test FRI, 6th DEC, 8 AM only on Star Sports 1 | #ToughestRivalry pic.twitter.com/D59tfKyRIx — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) November 27, 2024 Akram further said that there can be a difference of about 40 centimeters in the release point of Bumrah’s delivery, which makes a huge difference in the pace and trajectory. This causes his balls to skid after being pitched, creating further difficulties for batsmen trying to read his bowling. The release point of Bumrah’s ball is also different by about 40 centimeters and at this speed it makes a huge difference and is the reason why his balls skid after being hit.
