Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan created history, the team won the ODI series on Australian soil after 22 years. Pakistan had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the first match of the series. Then after Pakistan won by 9 wickets in the second ODI, the series was tied at 1-1. The third ODI was played in Perth on 10 November. Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were released from the squad in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.
‘Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir’, former Pakistani cricketer raised questions on the Indian head coach.
Recently India lost the test series against New Zealand by 0-3. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) After Rahul Dravid stepped down from the post, Gautam Gambhir has become the head of the Indian team and under his leadership, Team India has suffered two major historic defeats. Recently, India lost the Test series against New Zealand 0-3, after which many questions have been raised regarding Gambhir’s coaching. However, Rohit Sharma has defended him. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has called Rahul Dravid a better coach than Gautam Gambhir. Basit said that Rahul Dravid was a smart coach who knew what kind of pitch India needed to prepare to win on home soil. In the video shared on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said that Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir. Dravid made pitches for four days where the ball took turn in the last few days. Now you are making such pitches, where even a person who is not a regular spinner is getting a lot from the first day. Dravid knew the psychology of players – Basit Ali Basit Ali also said that Rahul Dravid was a good coach. He knew the psychology of the players. If you ask Virat Kohli to play T10 and T20 in Test cricket, then it is not fair in any way. Let us tell you that Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has had a disappointing start. Under his leadership, the Indian team lost its bilateral series against Sri Lanka in 27 years. After the New Zealand series, Team India will now tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series in November. India needs to win this series 4-0 to make it to the World Test Championship final.
IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.

(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.

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.

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.”

Arun Dhumal gave a big statement regarding IPL retention rule Arun Dhumal told The Indian Express in an interview that this time the amount of players to be retained before the mega auction has been increased so that all the franchises have a chance to build a good team. He said, “The idea was to give equal opportunities to all the franchisees. Suppose if a franchise has a very good team and wants to retain them, then the average price of those players will be the same. It cannot be that the best player gets Rs 18 crore and the fifth player whom the team wants to retain is given Rs 5-6 crore.” Dhumal has also said that the real value of a player is often revealed in the auction. He further answered this question that the match fee for the players has been fixed so that the players who are sold at a lower price and play more matches should get more money.

People say that all-rounders are not getting a chance, but the top all-rounders are playing, like Ravindra Jadeja and Sunil Narayan. Arun Dhumal further said on players being banned for leaving the tournament, “We have found that many times players do not make themselves available for the mega auction, but instead come to the mini auction, so that they can get a better price. We wanted to ensure that people who come to the mega auction do not suffer losses. If they are selected in the auction but somehow do not make themselves available, they will have to give valid reasons for the same. This is because the franchise owners and the team are working in detail to provide the best team for the tournament and every player is important. If he is not available then the team is affected. It is a team game after all. So the idea…

Shahzad further said- How do you justify not selecting Kamran Ghulam and Sahibzada Farhan in the team? What sin did they commit? Is it because they bat in the same position where Babar bats? When Yousuf was the coach, he left everything to two-three players. Yousuf is now the selector and this is the team he is selecting. Give me a logic why Kamran Ghulam was left out?

Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview with Crictracker (Source Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers team under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.
