He tried to stay away from the limelight for as long as possible, but when Virat Kohli handed him the trophy, he showed a side of himself that surprised everyone after the hard-earned win. When asked about his behavior, Dravid revealed that he had not planned any of what he did on the field and he was just happy with India’s win. He said that as a coach, he always tried to keep his emotions in check, but at that moment, he wanted to celebrate with the team and his coaching staff as everyone had worked very hard for this trophy.

Notably, India ended their 11-year wait for the ICC trophy by defeating South Africa by seven runs in the final. Rahul Dravid said on Star Sports “You don’t plan these things. Most of the time, I try to keep my emotions in check as a coach and that’s what’s expected of you. But at that moment, I was really happy for the team. I was happy for the boys. I was happy for the support staff. So many people who had worked really hard with me.” You need a bit of luck to go your way: Rahul Dravid “I was with the team for 2.5-3 years and we came close to winning many times, be it the semi-final of the last T20 World Cup in Australia, the World Test Championship final or the 50-over World Cup final in India, and we couldn’t get the win in those crucial moments. In such situations, you need a bit of luck and a bit of fortune and that’s what happened to us that day.”
PCB is ready to give a tough challenge to BCCI, wants to compete openly with IPL

At the same time, the Indian Premier League 2025 season will be played in India. The Pakistan Cricket Board also has no other option but to shift the PSL by 1 month. This is because after this the Pakistan team has to play many important matches in international cricket. This includes a two-match Test series against the West Indies at home and then the team can be seen playing an ODI series against New Zealand. If the PCB organizes the Pakistan Super League in the month of April, then it will have to take important decisions regarding the availability of their top foreign players as well as sponsorship deals and viewership. A meeting of officials was held in May regarding all these important issues but the final decision is yet to be taken. Not only this, the Pakistani board is also planning to change the retention rule. According to the new guidelines, all the teams will also have the opportunity to select domestic players from the three newly introduced elite tournaments also known as Champions Tournament. PCB will have to take a big decision regarding the schedule of Pakistan Super League 2025 Talking about the Indian Premier League, it is one of the best franchise league tournaments in the world.

Pakistani journalist had to pay a heavy price for messing with Harbhajan Singh, he said openly- did you understand the meaning or should I explain it…
Let’s know what Harbhajan said Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, former legendary spinner of the Indian cricket team Harbhajan Singh has given a befitting reply to a Pakistani journalist through social media, in which the journalist had tried to make fun of Bhajji on the social media platform X. It is worth noting that this time ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan. However, it is not yet clear whether India will go to Pakistan for this tournament or not? Due to security reasons, BCCI has also not made any picture clear. Also, some time ago Harbhajan Singh had said that if the Indian government feels that the Indian team may face a security threat in Pakistan, then it should not go there. Regarding this, Pakistani journalist Farid Khan tagged Harbhajan Singh on X and shared a photo in which Shahid Afridi had hit 4 consecutive sixes to Harbhajan during a test match. This is probably the reason for your fear. While replying to Farid, Harbhajan shared the photo of the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in 2008 and wrote – No, not for this, there are wins and losses in cricket. I will tell you the real problem. Check the photo given below. You must have understood the meaning of F.. or should I explain it. F means your name, don’t think what came to your mind. You know what I mean. See this post of Harbhajan Singh No not for this. Cricket is still my favorite. I will tell u the real problem is this. Check the photo⬇️. Now get the F…. out of here. Will you understand the meaning of F? F means your name. Plz don’t think what ur thinking th meaning of F. You know what I mean… pic.twitter.com/bqrGlro7tC — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) August 1, 2024 Will the Indian team go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy? It is worth noting that this time Pakistan has the hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025. However, there is no ray of hope yet for the Indian cricket team to go to Pakistan and participate in this tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that they can send the Indian team to Pakistan only after getting the green signal from the Indian government. At the same time, there is also a possibility that if India does not go to Pakistan, then like the Asia Cup, India can play its matches in either UAE or Sri Lanka under the hybrid model.

How was Rahul Dravid’s experience of working with many captains Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach was for two years. His tenure was ending after the ODI World Cup 2023, but as the T20 World Cup 2024 approached, the BCCI extended his tenure. Dravid could have re-applied for the coaching position if he wanted, but he did not want to re-apply due to family commitments. Now Rahul Dravid has given a statement in which he has shared his experience of working with many captains during his tenure. “We really had to manage the workload of the players through all three different formats. Some players were injured, and because of that I had to work with 5-6 captains in 8-10 months. It was definitely something I had not imagined. I am actually someone who likes continuity. I don’t like chopping and changing too much. Because I believe that creates a lot of instability and doesn’t create a very good environment.” I feel I am part of a team whose responsibility is to create the right professional, safe, protected environment where there is really no fear of failure but enough challenges to push people. That has always been my endeavour.

Jack Crowley talks openly about the strategy of sweep and reverse sweep against Indian spinners.
Jack Crawley said, sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. India v England (Image Source : Twitter) The England team defeated India by 28 runs in the first match of the five-Test series to take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the Hyderabad Test, the English batsmen faced the Indian spinners bravely, especially Ollie Pope, who played a brilliant century. Meanwhile, opening batsman Zak Crawley says that the use of sweep and reverse sweep by the English batsmen against Indian spinners is a perfect way to throw out the spin plan. Zak Crawley scored 20 and 31 runs in both the innings respectively. Despite not playing big innings, Crawley played an important role in giving England a great start. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the second Test, Crawley elaborated on the strategy of playing a sweep or reverse sweep. It takes the spin out of the plan – Jack Crowley He said, I think sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. This takes spin out of the plan. I think reverse sweep is common for us because the ground is less there. It seems they always have two men on the leg side. If they had two men on the other side, we might have played a sweep. The reverse sweep probably comes as naturally to us as the common sweep. Speaking on baseball, he said, it (baseball) comes naturally because many teams are playing more aggressively. When I first came to England the mentality was to take my time and play a long innings. I didn’t think it would come naturally to me and some other people. A lot of us play a little better under that. Zak Crawley feels that the Indian team is very strong in its home conditions despite the absence of many key players in the upcoming second Test. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli is already out of two Tests, while KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja suffered injuries, due to which they have been ruled out of the second Test.
