DTVHINDI“This is the template we want to play with”- Suryakumar explains India’s approach in the T20 format
India’s newly appointed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav stressed the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and fearless approach after his team’s consecutive victories against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Suryakumar has performed brilliantly with the bat on both days. The Indian team started the T20 series with a 43-run win on Saturday. They then won the second T20I by seven wickets at Pallekele on Sunday. Meanwhile, in the press conference after the match, Surya talked about the team’s future strategy in the shortest format and how Team India will approach the format in the upcoming matches. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with – Suryakumar Yadav Suryakumar Yadav said after the match, “We talked about what kind of cricket we want to play before the start of the tournament. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with.” He further said, “A score of less than 160 would have been good in bad weather. The rain helped us. The way the boys batted was fantastic.” Now the result of the last match of the series will not matter, so when Suryakumar was asked if there is a possibility of some players from the ‘reserve bench’ getting a chance, he said, “We will sit and decide. I am very happy for the boys. They performed very well in difficult circumstances.” India’s googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi was happy that his ‘wrong on’ ball is proving to be effective for him. Ravi Bishnoi, who became the player of the match in the second T20 against Sri Lanka, said after the match, “The pitch was a little different from yesterday. Today in the first innings it helped the spinners. I stuck to my plan. I like to bowl the ‘wrong on’ ball. It is a good responsibility because it means that the captain and management trust me.”
Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to play in Border-Gavaskar, BCCI is preparing a special plan
The Indian selectors are considering picking left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the Test squad, although he has only played for India in the limited-overs format so far. He impressed everyone during India’s T20 World Cup win and there are talks that he could be included in the Test squad for the Australia tour later this year. The Punjab and Punjab Kings fast bowler was the highest wicket-taker in the recent tournament along with Afghanistan fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi. Both the bowlers took 17-17 wickets in that tournament. Now it is believed that after his brilliant performance in the white ball, he may get promoted to red ball cricket. Arshdeep Singh may get a chance in the upcoming Test series against Australia The selectors are very impressed with Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball in limited overs cricket, so he can prove to be very effective on the Australia tour. A source told the Times of India, “Arshdeep has performed impressively in white ball cricket for India. He may be asked to play some red ball matches starting with the Duleep Trophy from September 5 to increase his chances of selection for the Australia tour. There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.” The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.” Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year. For the first time on this tour, a 5 match Border Gavaskar Test series will be played between India and Australia. Let us tell you, the last two times Team India has been successful in defeating Australia at their home. This time India will be eyeing to defeat the Kangaroos at their home for the third consecutive time.

(Image Source: BCCI/X) Suryakumar Yadav, one of the world’s most dangerous batsmen in T20 cricket, has not yet been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket. The ICC Champions Trophy is to be held in February and March next year. The Champions Trophy will be played in ODI format. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav. Chopra believes that T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy because he is not fitting into the ODI team. Let us tell you that BCCI has recently appointed Suryakumar as the captain of the Indian T20 team. He beat Hardik Pandya in the race for captaincy. However, Surya did not get a place in the ODI squad against Sri Lanka. Aakash Chopra made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav When Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked about this in the press conference, he said in clear words that Surya will remain a part of the T20 setup for now. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the ODI World Cup 2023 final. He was also in the team that played the T20 World Cup 2024 final. He took a wonderful catch of David Miller. However, Surya is no longer a part of the ODI team. In such a situation, when questions were asked about Surya, it was said that he is a great and special player but will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and the Champions Trophy is about to come. So you can assume that Suryakumar will not be seen in the Champions Trophy. The former cricketer said that Shubman Gill is sure to play in the Champions Trophy. Chopra said, “Gill will be seen in the Champions Trophy. He (Agkar) said that Gill is a player of all three formats. Gautam Gambhir (head coach) also believes that if a player of all three formats is found then there is nothing wrong. Gill’s captaincy has also been seen. Whatever captaincy he has done, it has been liked. Therefore, he has also been made the vice-captain.

A total of 8 teams will clash in this great tournament. Let us tell you, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will start from February 19 in Karachi and its final match will be played on March 9 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. A total of three venues have been shortlisted for this tournament. However, it is also expected that this competition will be hosted in a country other than Pakistan. This is because India will not tour Pakistan to play in the Champions Trophy 2025. So far, no statement has come from the Board of Control for Cricket in India regarding this, but there may be a change in the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025. In this, Sri Lanka or UAE can be included in the backup venue. Pakistan’s veteran fast bowler Hasan Ali has put forth his view on this. According to Hasan Ali, if India does not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025, then this event should be organized without them. Hasan Ali said on Sama TV, ‘If we are going to India and playing, then they should also come to Pakistan. Many people have said this many times that sports should not be linked to politics. But if you look at it from a different perspective, many Indian players have said in interviews that they also want to play in Pakistan. This does not mean that the team does not want to come there. All the players want this but politics, country and board are not allowing this to happen.’ If India doesn’t want to come then we should play the Champions Trophy without them: Hasan Ali Hasan Ali further said, ‘Like our Pakistan Cricket Board president has said that if the Champions Trophy is to be held in Pakistan, it will be held here only. Apart from Pakistan, no other country should host this tournament. If India does not want to come, then we will have to play without them. Cricket should be played in Pakistan only and if India does not want to participate here, it does not mean that cricket is completely over. There are other teams apart from India.’ Let us tell you, India last visited Pakistan in 2008. Asia Cup 2023 was to be held in Pakistan but India refused to travel here. However, after this the tournament was played under the hybrid model. India played all its matches in Sri Lanka and won the tournament. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in…
There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025: Khalid Mahmood
Khalid Mahmood said that if this happens then Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Khalid Mahmood believes that India will hardly send its team to his country Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Let us tell you, for some time now, India has completely refused to tour Pakistan due to political reasons. Khalid Mahmood believes that the ICC will definitely listen to the Board of Control for Cricket in India and other Asian teams like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025 if India refuses to come here. He said that if this happens, the Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. According to Cricket Pakistan, Khalid Mahmood said, “There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan. India is the richest cricket board. If they do not send their team to Pakistan, then I do not think Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also tour here.” Khalid Mahmood gave important advice to Pakistan Cricket Board Khalid Mahmood further said, ‘At this stage, the only thing you can do is to bring the rest of the boards to your side. The ICC will not ignore India’s demands and if this happens, it will not be right for Pakistan to make tit-for-tat plans. If India says that it will play matches outside Pakistan, then ICC events will not be hosted in their country. Due to this, the Pakistan Cricket Board may also have to face a lot of problems.’ For a long time, it has been seen that India has not participated in any of the matches of ICC events held in Pakistan and has appealed for another venue for its matches. So far it can be said that all the matches of Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan only, but India has also agreed to the fact that they will not go to Pakistan to play the matches of Champions Trophy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that every player will have to be available for all three formats. It has also been clearly stated in the report that the board has not put any pressure on these players to play. However, there have been some indications from Rohit Sharma that he may make himself available for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Considering that Team India has very few ODI matches to prepare before the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March 2025. Rohit Sharma can play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka According to the Cricbuzz report, this is the reason why Rohit Sharma can be seen in these three ODIs.
