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.

The special thing about Rashid is that his bowling is difficult to predict. He is capable of turning the ball in both directions. Indian batsmen usually play spin very well, but the way Adil Rashid is bowling at the moment, we just have to see and wait to see what the condition of the pitch is. There is a possibility that England may field four spin bowlers in this match. Obviously, apart from Rashid, there is Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, who are all-rounders and can bowl leg spin and off spin. You know that if the wicket is too dry, England can also make Will Jack bowl. Adil Rashid is at the peak of his game and this is the beauty of the World Cup.

This is not the first time I have seen him, not only against Pakistan, but against any opponent, and he knows what needs to be done on certain pitches. Waqar further said- He is a top class bowler. He has created terror like Dale Steyn. This terror also runs in the minds of the batsmen, they are so worried and scared of losing their wicket that they themselves miss some things. I always praise his bowling. I think he is probably the best white ball bowler at the moment.

Pakistan team was completely destroyed before T20 World Cup, Pakistani legend himself told the reason
The Pakistan team, which went to England to play the T20 series to prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, failed. The team lost 2-0 in the four-match series. Two matches were canceled due to rain, but in the remaining two matches the host team defeated Babar Azam’s team. Former Pakistan cricketer Rameez Raja is angry after this defeat. Former PCB chairman Rameez Raja has criticized the team management and expressed concern over experimentation in the Pakistan team. Pakistan team was completely destroyed Rameez Raja criticized the team management on his YouTube channel and said, “They should stop experimenting with the team. They should go into the match with the right team. You have to get rid of the fear of strike rate, because you do not have such players. You have ruined this team.” Rameez Raja criticized the decision to field young batsman Saim Ayub as an opener Rameez Raja said, “You have destroyed the team by breaking the opening pair (of Babar and Rizwan). The role of the middle order is also not suitable. You have all-rounders in the middle and two wicketkeepers are playing. You are changing fast bowlers. Your spinners do not spin the ball and they lack confidence. You dropped Imad Wasim from the playing XI. There is no movement from any side and you have completely destroyed the team before the T20 World Cup.” Sam Ayub proved to be a flop Saim Ayub struggled to find form initially in the recent T20 series against New Zealand. However, he showed a lot of improvement by scoring a quick 45 runs off 29 balls in the first match. In four matches against New Zealand, the 21-year-old Ayub scored 52 runs at an average of 14.25 and his highest score in the series was 32 runs. Before Ayub joined the team, Babar and Rizwan were playing as openers for the Pakistan team, who are considered to be one of the best openers in T20 International. Babar and Rizwan batted brilliantly during the last T20 World Cup played in the year 2022. Their three century opening partnerships were also seen in this tournament. Pakistan will play against India on 9 June In the upcoming T20 World Cup, Pakistan have been placed in Group A, which includes arch-rivals India, Canada, USA and Ireland. Their journey will begin with a match against hosts USA at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas on Thursday. Babar Azam’s side will then take on India on June 9.

‘If you have to bench Shadab then do it’ Former Pakistani legend made a big statement before the T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup is starting from 1 June Shadab Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and well-known cricket commentator Rameez Raja has made a big statement about Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan. It is worth noting that before the T20 World Cup 2024, Shadab has failed to make an impact with his performance. Shadab’s performance in the recent four-match T20 series against England was disappointing. Rameez says that Shadab has wasted the opportunities he got at number 5 in the Pakistani team and if he has to be benched in the T20 World Cup, then so be it. In the two matches played against England, Shadab was able to score only 3 runs, while he was out on a duck once. Before T20 World Cup 2024, Rameez Raja made a big statement about Shadab Khan Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Rameez Raja said about Shadab Khan through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The middle order batting flopped in the fourth T20 match against England, due to which there was a shortage of runs and we lost the match. Imad Wasim should be selected for all the matches. You can promote Sam Ayub in batting, because Shadab does not fit at number 5. He has missed the opportunities he got at this number. Rameez further said- If a proper batsman comes at number 5, then Pakistan cricket team will get more balance. I do not understand what is Shadab’s role in the team. He is not able to perform at number 5 and is out of form. If you have to bench Shadab then do it. Number 7 can be his best batting order, he tries to play like a slugger. Pakistan Cricket Team for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhan Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.

Tom Moody gave a big statement about Abhishek Sharma Let us tell you that Tom Moody said about Abhishek Sharma as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo- He (Abhishek Sharma) supports himself 100 percent. But due to some reason, he is not able to bowl as much as he needs to. But for the future of the Indian cricket team, he needs to bowl because he is a serious package. He is going to be a big asset for Team India in the future. He is a player who can bowl as well as bat with the left hand. Moody further said- The reason for dominating the spinner is that he attacks the ball by jumping on it. He bowls overspin in bowling and is currently working on the carrom ball. He took the wicket of Shimron Hetmyer with this ball, and that ball was a brilliant ball.
This all-rounder of Team India would prove to be a legend in Test format, but…. Why did Gautam Gambhir take the name of this player after years?
Gautam Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir had recently said that Yuvraj Singh should have played more Test matches in his career. The whole world knows that Yuvraj Singh is the uncrowned king of white ball cricket and a player like him has not been seen in Team India till now. Yuvraj Singh was the match-winning player of Team India, although he could not last long in the Test format. But now he could not convert his success into the Test format. Yuvraj Singh’s career Yuvraj Singh’s statistics are excellent. He has scored 8965 runs in 139 matches at an average of 44.16. However, his numbers declined when it came to red-ball cricket at the international level. He scored only 1900 runs at an average of 33.92 after 40 matches. Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Let us know what he said- “When we talk about statistics or performance, you see what an amazing performance Yuvi has shown in the 2011 World Cup. He was the player of the tournament in the 2011 World Cup. Look at what Yuvi did in 2007 also. You pick up Yuvi’s performance, what he has done for India. You look at Yuvi’s innings against Australia, look at his innings against England. You see Yuvi’s impact in the 2007 T20 World, I have tried to tell the world again what Yuvi has achieved in his career. I just want to remind world cricket of these things.” “I consider Yuvi to be the best player in ODI and T-20. I have not seen a better player than him in white ball cricket. Yuvi’s performance not only in batting but also in bowling and fielding is astonishing. There is no other player like him in India. But unfortunately we talk less about Yuvi. Which is absolutely wrong. There are many reasons behind this but I do not want to tell them here.” “See, Yuvi has played very little Test cricket. If he had got a chance to play more Tests, his records would have been excellent. He could do well in tests also. I would definitely say that Yuvi has got less opportunity to play Test.”
