A great match was played between India and Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in which Hardik Pandya performed brilliantly with both the ball and the bat. First he sent three Pakistani players back to the pavilion with bowling and then did wonders with batting as well. Hardik Pandya not only played a brilliant innings of 40 runs against Pakistan in the 2022 season but he also made an important partnership with Virat Kohli. Now Hardik Pandya would like to repeat the same performance in the upcoming match. Hardik Pandya failed to show his magic with the ball and bat in the Indian Premier League 2024. However, the experienced all-rounder also batted very well in the warm-up match against Bangladesh and played an aggressive innings of 40* runs. Pakistan will have to be careful with Hardik Pandya The excellent all-rounder also showed his magic with the ball against Bangladesh and took a wicket. The best thing for India is that Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma are in very good form at the moment. All these three players can be seen performing brilliantly against Pakistan as well. Another good thing for the Indian team is that the upcoming match is to be played in New York and they are very well aware of the conditions here.

Dhoni has scored 136 runs so far this season at an average of 68.00 and strike rate of 226.67. MS Dhoni (Pic Source-X) Indian Premier League 2024 is at its final stage. Only a few matches of the league stage are left. In such a situation, once again discussions have started regarding the future of CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni). After his retirement from international cricket, fans eagerly wait for the IPL to see Dhoni. Let us tell you that after Chennai won the title for the record 5th time in Ahmedabad last year, Dhoni had talked about playing for one more year, due to which the fans of Chennai Super Kings were very happy. However, since the beginning of this season, it is believed that this could be his last season. Meanwhile, CSK batting coach Michael Hussey wants MS Dhoni to continue playing in the IPL for the next few years. He has been in really good form all season – Michael Hussey When Hussey was asked on ESPN’s Around the Wicket show whether Dhoni would return next year, he said, “Your guess at this stage is as good as mine.” He is still batting very well. He prepares well. He reaches the camp very early and practices a lot. He has been in really good form all season. “I think we just have to try to manage the physical side of things,” he said. He had knee surgery after last season. That’s why he has been managing the tournament since its initial stage. From my personal perspective I hope he continues to do so for the next few years. But we will just have to wait and see. He is the only one who will take this decision. MS Dhoni has not got this much chance to bat, but has scored 136 runs in 13 matches at an average of 68.00 and strike rate of 226.67. At the beginning of this season, Ruturaj Gaikwad was given the captaincy of CSK, under whose leadership Chennai has performed well. The team has won seven out of 13 matches and is on the verge of making it to the playoffs.
