Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. The Australia team has not played any Test match since March this year, while Team India recently suffered a 0-3 defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2024-25, then they will have to win the upcoming Test series against Australia by a long margin. Chetan Sharma while talking to Times of India said, ‘I can say 100 percent that Team India will beat Australia in Australia. Under Rohit’s captaincy we will complete the hat-trick of wins in Australia. India will beat Australia once again in their own home. We have beaten Australia twice in a row at their home. The pressure will be on Australia. This pressure will be on Australian captain Pat Cummins and not on Rohit Sharma. Whenever Team India has toured Australia, we have enjoyed a lot. We have praised the game of Team India not only in Australia but also in the tour of South Africa and England. Whenever the players of the opposing team have said that this is going to be a very good series, then we can understand that there will be pressure inside them also. Chetan Sharma presented his side regarding Rohit and Virat Regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are struggling with poor form, Chetan Sharma said, ‘We should respect Rohit and Virat. These two are never out of form. We should never use wrong words for both of these. We should be happy that both these players are still performing well and are playing an important role in Team India’s victory every time. I am confident that Virat and Rohit will be seen batting brilliantly in Australia. Let us tell you that, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win the five-match Test series against Australia by 4-0. If Team India fails to do this then it will be very difficult for them to reach the final of this important event.

“I 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup” – Big claim of Hitman’s childhood coach
Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is after winning the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India captain Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad has said a surprising thing. Dinesh Lad believes that, even if Rohit Sharma takes retirement from Test cricket after the final of the World Test Championship 2025, he will be seen playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup. He says that Rohit is increasing in age and he can retire from Test cricket after T20 International cricket to focus on ODI cricket. After T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma had announced his retirement from T20 International cricket. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad said, “I am not saying that he will retire from Test cricket after the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025. Maybe even take retirement, because as his age is increasing, it looks like he may retire from Test cricket. His childhood coach Dinesh Lad gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma The reason for this could also be that he wants to keep himself completely fit for ODI cricket. However, I give 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup.” The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Actually, Rohit Sharma wanted to win one ODI World Cup in his career and keeping that in mind, Dinesh Lad has given this statement. He was not selected in the squad for the 2011 ODI World Cup, which India won. After this, in 2015 he could not help the team win the World Cup, whereas despite scoring the most runs in the 2019 World Cup, his team lost in the semi-finals. At the same time, India had to face defeat in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. India had won 10 matches till the semi-finals and the team lost in the final. In such a situation, it is possible that we may see Rohit Sharma playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

With 226 runs so far, he is the third-highest run-scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore behind Kohli (361) and Faf du Plessis (232). Dinesh Karthik will not get a place in the team: Scott Steeris Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris has completely dismissed Dinesh Karthik’s chances of making the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, saying India have many other options to choose from. Styris said that Karthik may miss out on IPL 2024 despite being in great form, hinting that India will focus more on selecting other players. Scott said in his statement while talking to Jio Cinema- “In the commentary we were asked about wicketkeeping options. Who is at the forefront of the claim for this? The question was asked about Dinesh Karthik. I would say there is a little more than zero percent chance that Dinesh Karthik will be selected for the World Cup. Not because of lack of capacity, but India has other options apart from them.” Styris told that there is a race between KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant for a place in the team. In such a situation, the selectors will take the decision keeping in mind the role of the players.
