‘He thinks he has become bigger than the game’, former cricketer slammed Wanindu Hasaranga for his poor performance in the second T20I

Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali criticized Hasarga’s performance Wanindu Hasaranga (Image Credit- Twitter The second T20 match between Sri Lanka and India was played in Pallekele on 28 July, where the visiting team won by 7 wickets in a rain-affected match. Wanindu Hasaranga proved to be very expensive in the match and he gave 34 runs in a spell of two overs, while taking only one wicket. At the same time, former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali has criticized Hasaranga’s performance. He said that the 27-year-old feels that he has become bigger than the game. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, Number one all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga. I think he has become bigger than cricket. Cricket is small, he is big. He got out playing a bad shot on the first ball. He was not good with the ball either. Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a lot of runs. Basit Ali took a dig at Hasranga He took a dig at Hasaranga (Wanindu Hasaranga) and said that Sri Lanka should give him the Player of the Match award and give him rest from the remaining matches. Basit Ali said, according to me the Man of the Match should be given to Hasranga. Give him the Player of the Match award and ask him to rest for the third match. He hits silly shots and his bowling is also the same. It seems like he has become Boom Boom Bumrah, he should learn from Bishnoi. Apart from this, the former Pakistani cricketer said about the batting of the Sri Lankan team that, the middle order batsmen of Sri Lanka could not perform. I think India’s dominance is such that Sri Lanka is afraid of the name of India. In both the matches, good partnerships were made and then suddenly broke. I don’t know whether their middle order knows how to bat or not.

Shadab Khan (Photo Source: X) Lanka Premier League (LPL) player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. In his very first match, he took a hattrick against Kandy Falcons and since then has taken 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in this LPL season. Shadab himself admitted that it has been a remarkable turnaround for him; after not taking a single wicket for Pakistan for quite some time, he is enjoying his return to form in Sri Lankan conditions, especially at his team’s home ground Colombo. Shadab Khan gave this statement on his comeback “I was struggling for three months. I hadn’t taken a single wicket in the last seven international matches. Coming here, starting bowling and now always taking wickets – that’s the beauty of cricket. You should enjoy these situations; sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t. But there should be consistency in the process.” “The pitch was slow and a bit grippy, which helped us. But T20 cricket is very challenging now, with 200 runs being easily achievable. As a spinner, you need variations to succeed on different tracks. Without variations, you can score runs, but with them, you can also take wickets and stop runs. It is important to land the ball in good areas.” “I am performing well for my team and that is a good sign. Taking wickets as the main bowler is positive for me and my team. I want to contribute in all three phases – bowling, fielding and hopefully with the bat as well.”

When Kohli was struggling with poor form in the T20 World Cup, Rahul Dravid gave him special advice, the star batsman himself revealed

In the final, Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings of 76 runs in 59 balls Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa in Barbados. Virat Kohli batted brilliantly in the final and scored 76 runs in 59 balls. He was adjudged the Player of the Match for his innings. However, before the final, he was seen struggling with the bat throughout the tournament. Before the final, Kohli had scored only 75 runs at an average of 10.71, but when the team needed him against South Africa, Kohli gave his best performance. Meanwhile, now Kohli has revealed that he was not confident about performing in the final of the T20 World Cup. Know what Dravid said to Kohli? “I will always remember this day because I was not able to contribute the way I wanted to during the entire tournament. I also told Rahul bhai that I have not done justice to myself and the team till now,” Kohli said while meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday morning. Virat further said, “Then he told me that when the situation comes, I am sure you will come into form. So this conversation happened between us and when we went to play, I told Rohit, I was not so confident that I would be able to bat the way I wanted to. So when we went to play, I got three fours in the first 4 balls, then I went and told him, what kind of game is this? One day it seems that not a single run will be scored and then a day comes and everything starts happening.” The former Indian captain said, “When we lost wickets, I surrendered myself to the situation and focused on what the team needed from me. I was kept in that zone, but I felt tied up in that moment. Later, I realised that what has to happen will happen.” Let us tell you that after India became the T20 World Cup champion, Virat Kohli said goodbye to T20I international and talked about giving a chance to the next generation.

Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant (Pic Source-X) In the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma failed to score big against South Africa and returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs. The Indian team had scored 15 runs in the first over against South Africa. After this, Keshav Maharaj, who came to bowl the second over for South Africa, first dismissed Rohit Sharma in the same over and then sent Rishabh Pant back to the pavilion. Rohit Sharma wanted to play a sweep on Keshav Maharaj’s ball but the ball hit his bat and went towards Heinrich Klaasen standing at backward square leg where the brilliant player took a very good catch and gave India the first blow. Rohit Sharma will be very disappointed with his shot. Not only the Indian captain but Rishabh Pant also failed to bat well against South Africa and returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Rishabh Pant played a very bad shot on the last ball of Keshav Maharaj’s over which went very high in the air after hitting his bat and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock took this catch brilliantly. Keshav Maharaj has sent two in-form Indian batsmen back to the pavilion in the same over. Keshav Maharaj gave 8 runs and took two wickets in his first over. India got two big shocks in the same over Even though India has lost two important wickets, they still have many players who can bat well in this match and put their team in a strong position. Not only this, the bowlers of the Indian team have also done their job well in this tournament so far. If we talk about South Africa, their bowlers would like to get India out as soon as possible. 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?

They failed to advance to the Super 8s from the first round of the ODI World Cup last year and the current T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma is struggling with poor form in T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian captain could not play a big innings even against Afghanistan

Against Pakistan, the Indian captain scored just 13 runs, while against America, Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring three runs. Many fans were expecting that Rohit Sharma would definitely score big against Afghanistan but he lost his wicket on a brilliant ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi. Rohit Sharma has so far scored 76 runs in four innings of this important tournament. The match against Canada was cancelled due to rain. Not only Rohit Sharma, experienced batsman Virat Kohli has also not been able to leave his mark in this tournament. So far, both these players have failed to give a good start to the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. At present, if we talk about the match played against Afghanistan, apart from Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant also flopped completely and got out after scoring 20 runs. Rohit Sharma will have to get back to his best form once again India will now play its next match against Bangladesh on June 22 while the team will play against Australia on June 24.

Video: ‘He is not even worthy of being in the team…’, Virender Sehwag got angry at this batsman after his poor performance

Former veteran cricketer of Team India has strongly criticized Babar Azam. Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: Twitter) Virender Sehwag criticized Babar Azam : The journey of Pakistan cricket team in T20 World Cup 2024 is now over. This World Cup has been very bad for Pakistan. The Pakistan team was out of the World Cup after the series matches. The poor performance of the Pakistan team in this World Cup has disappointed fans and former cricketers. After this, many questions are being raised on Pakistan team captain Babar Azam. Babar Azam is facing a lot of criticism after his poor performance and he is being asked to resign. Now the former veteran cricketer of Team India has strongly criticized Babar Azam. Pakistan’s batting was very poor in the T20 World Cup. The batting of the Pakistan team mainly depends on captain Babar Azam. However, Babar Azam’s performance has not been anything special this season. Babar could not do anything special for the team. Now former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has slammed Pakistan for being out of the World Cup. ‘Babar is not fit for Pakistan team’- Virender Sehwag Talking about Babar Azam on Cricbuzz, Virender Sehwag said- “Babar Azam is not a six-hitting batsman. I have never seen him use his feet against fast bowlers. I think as a captain you should think. Now he himself should bat in the lower order. Also, some other good batsman should be sent to bat in the top order. Because if the captain of the Pakistan team is changed, then Babar Azam is not even worthy of getting a place in the T20 team.” Watch video Is #BabarAzam the right opener for #Pakistan in T20Is❓@VirenderSehwag , @ImZaheer discuss, on #CricbuzzLive Hindi#PAKvIRE #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/GxLmDkJBdp — Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) June 17, 2024 Pakistan’s performance in T20 World Cup 2024 T20 World Cup 2024 was very bad for Babar Azam’s Pakistan. Pakistan’s team managed to win 2 out of 4 league matches and lost 2 matches. In the very first match, Pakistan had to accept defeat from host America. Then the team was ridiculed a lot, because the American team was considered much weaker than Pakistan. After this, Pakistan lost to India in the second match. Then Pakistan won against Canada and Ireland, but the Pakistani team could not make it to the Super 8.

Virat Kohli’s poor start in T20 World Cup 2024, is this a matter of concern for India? Know what the experts say

Virat Kohli has scored just 5 runs in three matches so far Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian management’s decision to open the innings with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024 has not proved right so far. The team management has kept specialist opener Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the playing XI to make Virat-Rohit open. However, Kohli has not been able to perform well while opening so far. He has scored just 5 runs in three matches. He was dismissed after scoring 1 run against Ireland. While he returned to the pavilion without scoring 4 runs against Pakistan and against America. Earlier, Kohli had scored a flurry of runs in IPL 2024. He was the highest run-scorer (741) in the tournament. But his bat has been silent in the T20 World Cup. He got out on a duck for the first time in an ICC event against America off Saurabh Netravalkar’s bowling. It would be fair to say that Kohli did not give much time to adjust to the difficult pitch of New York and hence he got out early on three occasions. There is nothing to worry about- Sunil Gavaskar Now many legends and cricket experts have come forward in support of Virat Kohli. Supporting Kohli, Australian batsman Steve Smith said on Star Sports, “It has been tough for batsmen, especially those batting in the upper order, against the new ball. I will not say much about it. We know that Virat is a superstar. I am sure he will score runs in the upcoming matches.” On the other hand, Sunil Gavaskar supported Kohli and said, well, when you are playing for the country, there is no bigger motivation than this. He has performed well for India in the last few years. He has won many matches for India. This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go in the tournament. There is Super-8, then the semi-finals and hopefully the finals as well. He said that he knows that he just has to show a little patience and have a little faith in himself. There is nothing to worry about. He will recover sooner or later. He has to show faith in himself and he has enough of it.
