DTVHINDI“Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club” – Mohammad Kaif blasts the Kiwi spinner.
Mohammad Kaif speaking and Ajaz Patel. (Source – Getty Images) Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has recently given a shocking statement on New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel. Ijaz played an important role in the Kiwi team’s historic 3-0 Test series win over India. This statement of Kaif has now suddenly come into limelight. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium, Ajaz Patel performed brilliantly and continued his excellent record. The New Zealand team became the first team to achieve a whitewash in a Test series of three or more matches on Indian soil. The feat was achieved largely thanks to his spin bowling, with Patel becoming the team’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 15 wickets, including 11 at the Wankhede Stadium alone. However, in a video shared on social media, Mohammad Kaif dismissed Patel’s achievements. Mohammad Kaif gave a surprising statement regarding Ejaz Patel In the video shared on his X account, Mohammad Kaif said, “Ajaz Patel did not bowl well. If you look at the pitch map, he bowled two full-toss, two short balls and two length deliveries, but still managed to take wickets. Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club.” Ajaz Patel has taken 23 wickets in two matches in Mumbai. However, till date he has not played even a test match on New Zealand soil. Kaif further said about Glenn Phillips, “Glenn Phillips is a part-timer and he does not know how to bowl good balls. We lost to part-timers, not quality spinners. People should say that Ajaz Patel has taken 22 wickets at Wankhede Stadium. He could not even land the ball properly. Ajaz Patel bowled only two good balls in an over and took wickets. The defeat in the final test is shameful. There were no good bowlers in the New Zealand team in the Mumbai Test. Kaif only praised Mitchell Santner, who took 11 wickets in Pune. Kaif said, “Santner bowled well. The bowling he bowled in Pune was a classic Test match performance.”
Pant is the best wicketkeeper batsman in Test cricket, his best is yet to come – Mohammad Kaif
Rishabh Pant (Pic Source-X) Team India has made a great start in the Test series against Bangladesh. India played great cricket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on 19 September and after four days of play, the team managed to register a victory of 280 runs. After this victory, Team India managed to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Pant scored a century in the second innings of the first Test match, while he also made an important contribution in the first innings. The last Test match of the two-match series is to be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. Rishabh Pant also played his last Test series against Bangladesh. Team India went on a tour of Bangladesh in late 2022. After returning from there, Pant’s car had a terrible accident while going to his home. Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Pant is not in his prime form yet, yet he is the biggest match winner of Team India. Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement in praise of Rishabh Pant In an interview to Times of India, Kaif said, ‘When the England team came to India, Rishabh Pant was not in the team. Pant, who comes to bat at number five or six, is the biggest match winner for Team India at this position. He has played many match-winning innings. No one can forget his innings at Gabba. He has scored centuries in difficult conditions in South Africa and England.’ Kaif further said, ‘Talking about stats, I think Pant is the best wicketkeeper batsman for Test cricket. No one in the Indian think tank thinks about anyone other than Rishabh Pant. His best is yet to come. When he turns 27, his batting will improve further and then he will hit his prime form. Rishabh Pant’s best is yet to come, especially in Test cricket.’ It is worth noting that Pant has also equaled former India captain MS Dhoni’s record for scoring the most Test centuries for India as a wicketkeeper, with both players having six centuries to their name. Pant achieved this feat in 34 Test matches, scoring 2419 runs so far, while Dhoni, who played 90 Tests in his entire career, scored 4876 runs and scored six centuries.

Mohammad Kaif praised Team India’s fielding coach T. Dilip and stressed that because of him the level of fielding in the team has increased. He also described Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant as the best fielders of the Indian team. Exclusive interview of Mohammad Kaif with CricTracker- First question: How was the match? Answer: I think the way Morne van Wyk played was amazing to watch. It was a tough pitch, day match. He kept wicket for the first 20 overs, then opened the innings and finished the match. So, so far in this LLC I have not seen such a great innings. Second question: What changes have you seen in the fielding of the team after T. Dilip came to India? Answer: They are doing a very good job. They have a big role. Suryakumar Yadav took a catch in the T20 World Cup, which was the turning point. So they have done a very good job and the level of fielding has gone up. The Indian team has performed well. Third question: According to you, who are the top-2 fielders of India? Answer: India is the world champion, Ravindra Jadeja is among the top-2 fielders of India. Jadeja has become an even better fielder with age. People say that with age you become slow, but Jadeja is a perfect example that if you focus on fitness, your performance improves, his fielding has improved. The second name I will take is Rishabh Pant, as a wicketkeeper, I have never seen Rishabh Pant drop a catch.

Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning – Mohammad Kaif Mohammad Kaif was quoted by Times of India as saying, Hardik has captained Gujarat Titans for 2 years and in his very first year he made it to the finals… Hardik has experience of captaining a T20I team. He was also the vice-captain in the T20 World Cup. Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning. He said, ‘Surya is also a good player, he has been playing for years, I hope he will handle the responsibility of captaincy well. But, I think he should have supported Hardik.’ Continuing his talk, Kaif said, Gambhir is an experienced captain and coach. He understands cricket very well. I think Hardik has not done anything wrong that he should not get the captaincy. Mohammad Kaif said, he has experience. He has captained in IPL and has won the trophy for a new team (Gujarat Titans) with new and young faces, which is a big thing. He worked from ground zero in IPL and led Titans to victory. I think he deserved the captaincy. So let’s wait and see now.

Kaif talked about how players like Tushar Deshpande and Ajinkya Rahane grew under Dhoni’s captaincy and took their performance to the next level.

During a conversation on a show on Star Sports, Tushar Deshpande said, “You can talk about the cameos of Tushar Deshpande and Ajinkya Rahane, especially in the final.” I can say that these are players who do not have a good record in IPL, but when they go to Dhoni and Chennai, I wonder what happens to them, what kind of special guidance they get that everyone wants to play well. Starts.

Deepak Chahar will be back in action, but his form may not be that good due to his return from injury. He said, “This time Deepak Chahar is coming back from injury, Pathirana’s performance for Sri Lanka has not been good, the form is also not very good, Conway has also got injured. Now if your 3 or 4 key players are injured or their form is not good then the challenge of team management becomes more difficult. So there is a challenge for MS Dhoni but since we know Dhoni is a mastermind, he will do something and manage as he does every year.”
