‘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.”

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’s performance in the match against Afghanistan was quite disappointing. Let us tell you, Rohit Sharma played a match winning innings of 52 runs in 37 balls against Ireland in the group stage. However, after this match, Rohit Sharma looked completely out of form. 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. When this tournament started, the Indian captain was seen batting brilliantly but in the last three innings, he has batted disappointingly. The bowlers of the Indian team have made their mark in this tournament so far but the performance of the batsmen has been quite poor. However, Rohit Sharma and the rest of the batsmen of the team would definitely want to make their mark in the remaining matches of this 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 IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

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.
