It would be good if the final is between India and Australia. I think everyone in India would love it, especially considering what happened in the last two finals. So, I’m sure India would want some revenge at some point. We hope we play the final and see what happens. Head further said about the Indian team- India is in good hands at the moment. I think you can name four or five teams which are in the mix to win the T20 World Cup. Playing aggressive cricket is important for them. With Rohit and Virat, and their exceptional bowling led by star bowler Bumrah, who has also been excellent in the IPL, their chances are high. India’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup are also similar to those of the four other teams.

Now former Australian captain Kim Hughes gave a very insulting statement on this decision of Cricket Australia (CA) and said that when he heard this news, he ‘almost vomited’. Citing Steve Smith’s recent record, Kim Hughes said that Cameron Bancroft could have been a better replacement for David Warner in Australia’s Test team. Let us tell you, David Warner has recently retired from Test and ODI cricket, and the host team is ready to play senior batsman Steve Smith as an opener for the upcoming Test series against West Indies. I vomited at the name Steve Smith: Kim Hughes Kim Hughes believes that Cricket Australia (CA) is sending a ‘wrong message’ to the people and players by making Steve Smith the opening batsman of the Test team. Let us tell you, Smith will open for Australia in the two-match Test series against West Indies starting from January 17. Read here: It will not be so easy to replace Steve Smith but I will play my natural game at number four: Cameron Green “I almost vomited when I heard Steve Smith was made the opener,” Kim Hughes was quoted as saying by WA Sports. There is no doubt in my mind that if Cameron Bancroft had played for New South Wales, he would have been in the Test team. He is in great form.” Additionally, Kim Hughes said on News10 Australia: “Touch it, do this, do that… When I’m given out, I never want to go out, Steve Smith is that kind of player. He is like a petulant child. Smith is struggling at the moment. He has been a complete superstar, but he is not an opening batsman. He needs to stay at No. 4, get his mojo back, if you like, without any drama. ‘This will just tear everyone apart’ I think the second and very important thing is that you have to reward the people who are performing well, and our Sheffield Shield competition – yes it’s not as strong as it used to be, when it involved our Test players playing. Used to be – but this is still our best first-class tournament, where you can see who is playing well, and give them a chance. I only think of making Bancroft the opener. This decision of CA also sends a message to the Shield players that if you perform, you will be selected. You can do that too. Go and take the chance. This will just cause everyone to fall apart.” Top 4 players who have scored most consecutive half centuries in T20 cricket 5 players who have taken the most catches in T20i cricket 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career…
When Rohit Sharma comes as captain, two things suddenly change – statement of the former opener
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy for including bowling options in the top six and using them effectively in the first T20I between India and Afghanistan. Team India restricted Afghanistan to 158/5 after being invited to bat first in Mohali on Thursday, January 11. The hosts chased a small target with six wickets and 15 balls remaining and started the three-match T20 series with a win. Aakash Chopra admired Rohit Sharma’s captaincy In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra expressed his surprise at India’s decision to field three spinners in the playing XI. However, he also praised Rohit for bringing a different approach to captaincy. They said that, “India kept three spinners in the team. I was a bit surprised because there were only two fast bowlers and Shivam Dubey was with them. However, when Rohit Sharma comes as captain, suddenly two things change.” The former India opener said that the experienced captain included Shivam Dubey as an all-rounder in the lineup and also used him effectively. Chopra said that, “First of all, the Indian team plays with an XI which has a bowler in the top six and that bowler also gets a chance to bowl. That was fantastic. As soon as one wicket fell, he gave the next over to Shivam Dubey.” Chopra said that this move ensured that Rohit has plenty of bowling options available for the death overs. He further said that, “Shivam Dubey dismissed Ibrahim Zadran in that over. He was then stopped and later brought in from the other end so that he could get another over. When they did that, it made sure there were a lot of options available at the end.” Also read: Suresh Raina does not want to see Virat opening in T20

“I am very happy with Smith’s performance at number 4” – Cummins probably does not want to make Steve Smith the opener.
Pat Cummins and Steve Smith (Pic Source-Twitter) Ever since David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket, many opening batsmen have been seen as his replacement, especially in Test cricket. Players like Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw were included in this list. However, the team management was open to the idea of trying Cameron Green at the top of the order along with Usman Khawaja. AlthoughBefore the third Test against Pakistan in Sydney, Steve Smith had expressed his desire to open, which made the decision even more difficult for the team management. marnus labuschagne supported the idea and said that it would give him a lot of motivation to improve in the longest format. However, captain Pat Cummins does not support this and is happy with Smith playing at number four. The captain said that he has no problem from numbers 3 to 6, as Labuschagne, Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh have performed well. Steve Smith will bat at number 4 only – Pat Cummins Pat Cummins was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying, “I am very happy with (Smith’s) performance at number 4. Obviously Marnus (Labuschen), Steve (Smith), Travie (Head) and (Mitchell) Marsh have been very influential at Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. So the first instinct is probably not to disrupt it.” Warner was a tremendous player in red-ball cricket and Cummins said that it would be difficult for anyone to replace him. The 30-year-old did not give a clear indication of the player who could replace Warner in the final playing XI, but said that players who have scored runs in the Sheffield Shield will be considered for this. Cummins said, “Obviously it will be really difficult to repeat what Davey has done. I think what you really look for is who is in the best position to score runs. But I think, in Test cricket, there are some things that remain true – and that is that you have to put pressure on the opponent. You have to tick the scoreboard. Not always – but most of the time – you have to keep the scoreboard moving. There are some thoughts, but realistically, if someone is scoring runs in Shield cricket, it is probably a good sign that they can do it at the next level.” Also read: Wasim Akram got furious on social media, read what is the whole matter

Pat Cummins gave a surprising answer regarding David Warner Pat Cummins said about the upcoming Test series, “I have had some informal talks with Ronnie (coach Andrew McDonald) and we have always said let’s work on this. We have a little time till the next match, so I am sure the selectors will sit after this and decide on it (the opener). The good thing is that we have no shortage of options. There are probably three or four guys who can play up there and we think they’ll do a great job, but honestly, we haven’t talked about it in too much depth yet.” Cummins further said, “Uzi (Usman Khawaja) was not a specialist till then, there was only one place available in the team and he forced his way into the team. So ideally here you should have someone who has experience of opening, but I don’t think this is something that cannot be changed. It is very difficult to replace Warner.” Also read: Athiya Shetty stole KL Rahul’s heart again
