“Needless to say that he is a great player, but…”- Sourav Ganguly said about Virat
Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that if India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to bat with freedom like he did for his franchise RCB in the IPL. Kohli was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 and he gave a befitting reply to his trolls by showing aggressive play in the middle overs. Ganguly also advised that he should open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. His strike rate was also the best in his IPL career this season. The RCB star batsman scored 741 runs in 15 matches. His average was 61.75 and strike rate was 154.70. Ganguly has said that if Team India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to play with complete freedom. I want Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open for Team India- Sourav Ganguly During a conversation on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “I would like Virat and Rohit to open together. I want Virat to bat the same way he did for RCB in the second half of the IPL. He has to bat with freedom. Needless to say, he is a great player, but for India to do well, Virat has to bat with freedom like in the IPL. So my choice would be Virat and Rohit in the top order.” Let us tell you that Team India will start its T20 World Cup campaign from June 5, when the team will play its first match against Ireland. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on June 9. Ganguly said about the team, “The team has many great players and they are entering the tournament on the basis of some serious T20 cricket in the form of IPL. This will help them in New York. Another thing in their favour will be that their grounds are big and this will help our spinners. You can never rule out India in the World Cup, because there are so many great players in the team.

An exciting match is expected between the Men in Blue and the Bengal Tigers at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 01. Shakib spoke about how Sharma led the Indian team in the 50-over World Cup. In a video shared by Star Sports, Shakib Al Hasan said, “I think the way he has led India in the last few years has been fantastic. His record as a captain is tremendous. I think all the players respect him as a leader of the team. He is a player who can single-handedly take away the match from the opposition team.” Rohit Sharma has participated in all the seasons of T20 World Cup Bangladesh will enter the tournament on the back of a disappointing performance, having recently lost the T20I series to co-hosts USA by a margin of 1-2. In contrast, the Men in Blue will be coming into the tournament after playing an intense Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Bengal Tigers’ first practice match against the United States of America (USA) was cancelled due to heavy rain and this match against India will be their second practice match before the tournament. India, on the other hand, will play only one practice match before the tournament begins. Both Rohit and Shakib are the only two players who have played in all the editions of this T20 World Cup so far. The 37-year-old all-rounder is the highest wicket-taker in the history of the tournament with 47 wickets. While Rohit is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 963 runs in 36 innings.

I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim- Rameez Raj Rameez Raja said on his YouTube channel, winning or losing is part of the game, but Pakistan could have competed better and could have won in the end, but they made mistakes. First of all, let’s talk about Pakistan’s problems. He said, first Saim Ayub is coming as an opener. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim. He has been given a lot of chances and you have to perform better in international cricket. Rameez Raja further said that, he is immature. You should try the opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam again. Because this is the strength of Pakistan and they understand each other’s game. The whole combination has gone haywire because of Saim.

Rinku Singh got opportunities this season but…: Former English player gave a big statement about the KKR batsman.
Rinku Singh is yet to make a mark in IPL 2024 and has scored just 168 runs in 13 matches at an average of below 19. Michael Vaughan and Rinku Singh (Pic Source-X) Kolkata Knight Riders’ brilliant player Rinku Singh has not been able to leave his mark yet in the Indian Premier League 2024. Not only this, Rinku Singh has also not been included in the Indian team for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In the Indian Premier League 2023, Rinku Singh won the hearts of many people with his excellent batting. Not only this, due to his performance, the young batsman was also included in the Indian team.

However, Rinku Singh has not been able to make his mark in IPL 2024 yet and he has scored only 168 runs in 13 matches at an average of below 19. Former England batsman Michael Waugh has presented his side regarding the Kolkata Knight Riders player. According to Michael Waugh, Rinku Singh got opportunities but mostly he could not use them. Michael Waugh told Cricbuzz, ‘He had chances and in some matches he batted quickly but in all these he failed to show good performance. Rinku Singh is one of the explosive batsmen but his confidence is very low at the moment. It is very important for you to score runs in every match but this is not happening with Rinku Singh. I have seen him perform brilliantly over the last few years: Michael Waugh Michael Waugh further said, ‘We talk about playing big shots outside the ground continuously and in the process players get out. You are successful only when your mindset is completely aggressive. He is a much better player. I have seen him in the last few years and Rinku has only batted aggressively. He has an average of 80 for India and has mostly been seen not out. The young batsman has quality and I am sure he will make a strong comeback. 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?

“All bowlers will need to be hitters…”- R Ashwin on Impact Player rule
R Ashwin (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) There have been a lot of changes in IPL with the advent of Impact Player rule. Teams have the opportunity to choose an additional bowler and batsman as per their requirement. But many big players have given their opinion regarding this rule. From Virat to Rohit Sharma, everyone has given their reaction. In this series, now Team India and Rajasthan Royals’ veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given his opinion on this rule. Ashwin is not happy with the impact player rule. He has said that in the coming times, bowlers will have to become hitters. Player of the match Ravichandran Ashwin spoke about the Impact Player rule on JioCinema’s Match Center Live show and said, “If there was no Impact Player rule, the scores would have been the same.” On the Impact Player rule, Ashwin further said, “In my opinion, the batsmen have more confidence and the pitches have been standardized everywhere. In the future, all bowlers will need to be hitters, because we know that no matter how well we bowl, we need to be able to bat as well. This game is moving in that direction.” R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding his bowling in IPL 2024 Regarding his bowling, Ashwin said that the first half was not good for him because he came to play IPL 2024 after playing a Test series. His body was not feeling fresh. Ashwin said on his bowling, “My tournament was divided into two parts. The first part was after the Test series, so my body was not feeling fresh. My arm speed was not good and I was also injured. I played despite the injury, but I didn’t get much or frequent bowling time. I am someone who depends on repetition of bowling. In the last 6-7 matches, I feel my rhythm has come back. I am capable of bowling off spin. I made a slight change in my action. My plan was simple. I came in focused on changing the line and length of my balls and executed it well.”
