“The captain and coach asked me to play red ball cricket…”- Sanju Samson’s big revelation
Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Sanju Samson revealed that Team India’s leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches as they are looking to try him in the Test format. Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries. Samson recently attracted the attention of fans and selectors by scoring a century in the Duleep Trophy match. A few days ago, Sanju Samson scored a century in 40 balls in a T20 International match and saved his sinking T20 career. He has played T20 and ODI cricket for India. After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future. He has consistently performed well in the IPL but has not been able to capitalize on his opportunities in international cricket.
Rameez Raja raised questions on Multan Test pitch, said “Why should we play on home ground and play…”
Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack. Ramiz Raja. (Photo by ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) The first Test match between Pakistan and England proved to be a great run-scoring affair, where runs were seen pouring from every direction. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first and scored a huge score of 556 runs on the flat pitch of Multan. But England took a step forward and made the Pakistani bowlers work hard on the basis of brilliant innings by Joe Root and Harry Brook. Root scored 262 runs, while Brook played a mammoth inning of 317 runs. England declared their innings at 823 runs on the fourth day, taking the total to more than 1500 runs in the first 10 sessions of the match. Amidst this thrilling game, former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja looked extremely unhappy with the quality of the pitch. He said that the bowlers did not get any help on this pitch and raised questions on the preparation of the pitch. Rameez Raja again angry about the pitch Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack- “I am sure the bowlers will question the quality of this pitch because they bowled with full force, but nothing happened. You start questioning why such pitches were prepared and why we are playing on such pitches at home.” We had demanded a good cricket pitch: Shan Masood It is worth noting that, when Pakistan had earlier lost the series against Bangladesh 2–0, the criticism was at its peak. There was pressure on the team to perform well against England. During the toss in Multan, Pakistan captain Shan Masood admitted that he had asked for a flat pitch against England. Masood said during the toss, “We had asked for a good cricket wicket. There are good batsmen in both the teams. We were in a position to win but could not win the match from there, which has created some resentment among the team and the cricket fraternity. We want to get back to winning ways and hopefully these players can do that.”

“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.
