DTVHINDIJaiswal, Sarfraz and Jurel have everything it takes to become a top player: Rohit Sharma
These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are alert and who are responsible as well – Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian captain Rohit Sharma expects Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel to be successful in all three formats of the game. Especially for Jaiswal, who is the second leading run-scorer in the ongoing World Test Championship. Jaiswal scored 1028 runs in nine matches at an average of 68.53, which is an excellent figure. On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel performed significantly for India in their last Test series against England. In view of that, both of them have got a place in the team for the Test series against Bangladesh. However, after the return of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, their place in the playing eleven is not confirmed. Rohit hopes that they will become top players for India in the future. He also said that all three are clear about their targets and are hungry to perform well for India. The Indian captain said a big thing about Jurel, Sarfaraz and Jaiswal You don’t need to talk much to them. They are all new to Test cricket – Jaiswal, Jurel and Sarfraz. We have seen what they can do with the bat. They have everything that is needed to become a top player for India in all three formats, Rohit said in the press conference. “Over time we have to prepare them and keep talking to them, which we will do. I think they know what they have to do. They are very hungry to play for India and they are also hungry for success,” he said. Rohit further said, when we played last time (against England), Jaiswal did very well in the series. Jurel showed what he can do with the bat. Sarfaraz too – fearless, did not worry much about what will happen outside. These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are cautious and at the same time responsible. I think we have a mix of this, which is a good sign.

“It is unfair to remove him from captaincy”- Former Pak player came out in support of Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has criticized the decision to remove Shaheen Shah Afridi from the white ball captaincy, saying that it was unfair. He has again advocated for Afridi to be made the captain again. He has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He also indirectly targeted Babar Azam, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that after the ODI World Cup last year, Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After that Shaheen was made the captain of T20 and Shan Masood was made the captain of Test format. Shaheen had to lose the captaincy after just one series. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost 1-4 in the five-match T20 series on the New Zealand tour. After taking over the captaincy from Shaheen, the PCB appointed Babar as the captain of the white ball team. Moeen Khan gave a big statement on Shaheen Afridi being stripped of captaincy According to media reports, former Test captain Moeen said, “Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and the players like him very much. He is the best choice for captaincy in T20. I don’t think anyone else is more suitable than him to take up the responsibility of captain in white ball cricket. It was unfair to remove him from captaincy.” Moeen, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs in his career, said that Pakistan should maintain faith in a captain for a long time. He said, “If there are constant changes, the players will not listen to their captain. If the cricket board gives full support to the captain and assures him of long-term responsibility, the team’s performance will improve.” Babar’s reappointment as Pakistan captain did not go well for the team. Pakistan could not progress beyond the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan was heavily criticized after the defeat against the USA. After this Moeen said, “Azam was not given a chance to wicketkeep after one match and he was dropped after getting out on the very first ball (against the USA). Any player can get out on the first ball, but the tradition of developing players that used to exist here is no longer there. Be it the captain or the management, if they keep changing players so frequently then how can we prepare good players?
Dhruv Jurel chose his favorite Indian cricketer, not Rohit-Dhoni but this player is his favorite
Jurel may be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh Dhruv Jurel (Image Credit- Twitter Indian cricket team’s wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has recently chosen his favorite Indian cricketer. But for your information, let us tell you that the Indian cricketers named by Jurel do not include famous players like captain Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni. Let us tell you that recently Jurel was seen giving an interview on the YouTube channel of sports presenter Jatin Sapru. In this interview, when Jatin asked Dhruv Jurel the name of his favorite Indian cricketer, Jurel chose former Indian captain and run machine Virat Kohli. In Jurel’s eyes, Kohli is the greatest Indian cricketer for him. On the other hand, if we give you information about Jurel, then he can now be seen playing in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting from September 19. However, Kohli can also be seen playing with Jurel in this series. But in the presence of Rishabh Pant, it will be worth seeing whether the Indian management prefers Dhruv Jurel over Pant or not? Indian team for the first test match against Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.

This player can open with Usman Khawaja in BGT, the cricketer himself suggested the name
Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will start in November Usman Khawaja. (Image Source: Getty Images) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). It is worth noting that in November this year, India will tour Australia for a five-match Test series. While the batting order of the Indian team seems to be very clear during this series, the same is not the case in the Australian camp. Let us tell you that the Australian management is still thinking about which player should open the innings. Because Steve Smith’s statistics while opening have not been very good. After David Warner retired in January this year, Smith has played four Test matches at this position, in which he has been able to score a total of 171 runs at a meagre average of 28.50. On the other hand, Smith’s average while batting at number 4 in Tests is 61. So now during BGT, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has named the player who can open with him. Khawaja has suggested the name of Travis Head. Usman Khawaja gave a big statement In a recent interview with Fox Sports, Khawaja said, “He (Smith) will probably never say this. So I will say this for him. Opening is a very important position, but I still think we have the best Test player of my era, Steve Smith, in the team, and his best position has been number four.” Khawaja further said- I think that is the best batting position for him. He brings balance to our team. Marnus Labuschagne at number three and Smudge (Steve Smith) at number four. It is best for the team that whoever scores more runs at which position, he should be played at that position.

The third umpire gave his decision and declared Malik out LBW. Shoaib Malik (Image Credit- Twitter X) On this day in the year 2002, i.e. on 12th September, a new rule LBW by DRS was introduced for use in cricket for the first time. According to this rule, if the on-field umpire is not sure whether a player is LBW out, then he can take the help of the TV umpire for this. It is worth mentioning that the TV umpire was first used during India’s tour of South Africa in 1991/92. Whereas Hawk High technology in cricket started being used in international matches from 1996. On the other hand, the LBW by DRS rule was first used in the Sri Lanka vs Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy in 2002. In the match, Waqar Younus decided to bat and young Shoaib Malik came to bat in the fourth over. Chaminda Vaas bowled a straight ball to Malik and it hit his pad. As soon as the Sri Lankan bowler appealed, onfield umpire Daryl Harper decided to seek the help of television umpire Rudi Koertzen. But as soon as the TV umpire gave his decision, Shoaib Malik became the first player to be given out LBW by DRS rule. See how Shoaib Malik got out for the first time #ONTHISDAY 12-09-2002, 3rd Umpire was called on to give an LBW decision as part of an experiment that ICC did in the 2002 Champions Trophy.Umpire goes for Drs to check his decision.batsman was @realshoaibmalik,bowler was @chaminda_vaas, pic.twitter.com/r37b0Y56qd — Zohaib (Cricket King)🇵🇰🏏 (@Zohaib1981) September 12, 2024 On the other hand, if we give you information about this match, then Pakistan was all out for just 200 runs in 49.4 overs.

OTD 2023: On this day, Rohit Sharma became the second fastest player to score 10,000 runs in ODIs
Rohit took 241 innings to achieve this feat in ODIs Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian cricket team captain and world cricket’s Hitman, Rohit Sharma, had registered his name in the pages of history on this day. It is worth noting that on September 12, 2023, Rohit became the second fastest cricketer to score 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. Rohit did this feat last year against Sri Lanka. Rohit took 241 innings to reach the 10,000-run mark in ODI cricket, which is 18 innings less than the number of innings taken by Sachin to reach this figure. It is worth noting that Sachin took 259 innings to reach the 10,000 mark in ODIs, while former Indian captain and run machine Virat Kohli is at number one with 205 innings. Apart from Sachin, Sourav Ganguly is at fourth place with 263 innings and MS Dhoni is at fifth place with 273 innings. Rohit’s ODI career started late It is worth noting that Rohit had a slow start to his ODI career almost a decade ago when he could not reach 2 thousand ODI runs even after playing 80 matches. However, when he was promoted as an opener in the year 2013, his cricket career changed completely. In his first four years as an opener, Rohit scored 3153 runs in 66 innings, including 8 centuries. After this, Rohit scored 19 centuries in 70 innings played in the next four years. Apart from this, Rohit has scored three double centuries in ODI cricket, which proves how dangerous a batsman he is in the world. So now Rohit will be seen playing in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting from September 19. It will be interesting to see how Rohit’s bat will perform in this series?
