Arvind further said- I am enjoying the way England is playing cricket at the moment. They are playing very aggressive cricket. Whether they are bowling or batting. England is really adopting a positive mindset and they are getting results for it. It is difficult to win in England, but it is definitely not impossible.

Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Jasprit Bumrah, the dashing fast bowler who played a key role in making India the T20 World Cup 2024 champion, is currently away from cricketing action. Bumrah played his last international match in the T20 World Cup final. After that, he was given rest for the series against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka so that his workload could be managed. However, Bumrah’s break may last even longer. According to some media reports, Bumrah can also be given rest in the upcoming Bangladesh Test series. There is a gap of about three months (81 days) between the T20 World Cup final and the start of the Bangladesh series. But the news is coming that the selectors are considering giving Bumrah rest in this series as well. Jasprit Bumrah can be given rest again According to the Indian Express report, the Indian selectors are expecting a spin-friendly pitch for the home Test series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, right-arm fast bowler Bumrah can be rested. Experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami may return. Shami has been out of the Indian team since the ODI World Cup 2023 due to injury. He underwent a heel operation in February. In such a situation, if Bumrah is given rest, then fast bowler Mohammed Shami will lead the fast bowling attack. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that Bumrah is a great fast bowler and he has to be used carefully. Gambhir had said that anyone would want Bumrah in their team. You want him to play important matches but workload management is important. Let us tell you that due to the kind of bowling action Bumrah has, there is a high possibility of him getting injured. Now it will be interesting to see how much truth there is in these reports. Let us tell you that India has to play two Test matches against Bangladesh, which is going to start from 19 September.

Nowadays, advertisements of all kinds of products are shown in newspapers, TV, radio and digital media, which also include advertisements related to things like smoking, tobacco and alcohol.

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.
Suryakumar Yadav is no longer the number one T20I batsman, India’s biggest enemy has reached the top
Suryakumar Yadav reaches number two in ICC’s latest T20I rankings. Suryakumar Yadav (Pic Source-X) ICC has released the new T20I rankings amid the T20 World Cup 2024. This time the rankings have seen a lot of upheaval. India’s Suryakumar Yadav, who has been at the number one position for a long time, has now reached number two in the latest rankings. Australia’s Travis Head has become the number one batsman in T20. England’s Phil Salt, Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have also suffered losses. In the new T20 rankings released by the ICC, Australia’s Travis Head has become the number one batsman. This time he has jumped 4 places at once. Now Travis Head’s rating has become 844. Travis Head was not even in the top 10 till some time ago, but now he has reached the top. India’s Suryakumar Yadav has moved to second place. Apart from Suryakumar Yadav, these batsmen also suffered losses in the T20I rankings Surya’s rating is currently 842. That means there is only a difference of two rating points between the first and second ranked batsman. In such a situation, if Suryakumar Yadav has to reach number one again, then he will have to play a big innings in the upcoming matches. Only Suryakumar Yadav along with England’s Phil Salt has lost one place. His rating is now 816. Pakistan’s Babar Azam has also come down one place. He has reached the fourth position with a rating of 755. Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has now reached number 5 with a rating of 746. He has also come down one place.

Sri Lanka T20I captain Wanindu Hasaranga has regained the top spot after taking six wickets in three innings during Sri Lanka’s campaign at the T20 World Cup.

‘I felt that I no longer had that intensity’, Faiz Fazal broke his silence after retirement
During the Ranji Trophy season, Fazal struggled with unbearable pain and eventually decided to retire. Faiz Fazal Former captain of Vidarbha Faiz Fazal (Faiz Fazal) recently announced his retirement from professional cricket. He is proud and satisfied with himself after his decision. During the Ranji Trophy season, Fazal struggled with unbearable pain and eventually decided to retire. The knee problem was too much to ignore during the season. The 38-year-old had been battling a left knee injury for over a year, which caused problems in his pre-match preparation and made his return to first-class cricket difficult. After undergoing surgeries and various treatments, Fazal realized that it was time to leave. His illustrious career ended in the final Ranji league match against Haryana. However, he scored 1 and 0 in the match. ‘Earning the India cap was the proudest moment for me and my family’ Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, he said, the decision to retire was not an easy one. During the matches this year, whenever I went to bat after lunch or tea break, I felt that I lacked the intensity which is necessary for first-class cricket. This affected my form and the selectors felt that I needed to give me a break. He said, I don’t know whether I was outdated or not, but I had to sit out. At that time I decided that whatever game I play next, I will take the call. And it so happened that that game was our final league match of the season. Reflecting on the India Cap, Fazal said, earning the India Cap was the proudest moment for me and my family. That was the biggest achievement. You can look back and say, ‘Oh, it was just one game’, but at the same time, I was the only player in the team who had not played in the IPL.

He said, “The good thing for RCB is that the pitches in Chennai have changed. Now this is no longer the stronghold of CSK. The team had to face defeat from Punjab and KKR at their home ground.
