Zaheer Khan is very disappointed that when Team India needed KL Rahul the most, he gifted his wicket to Bangladesh. KL Rahul (Pic Source-X) The first test match between India and Bangladesh has started. This match is being played in Chennai. On the first day of the first test match, KL Rahul batted very poorly for the Indian team and was out after scoring 16 runs. KL Rahul’s wicket was taken by Mehdi Hasan Miraz. Former fast bowler Zaheer Khan is very disappointed that when Team India needed KL Rahul the most, he gifted his wicket to Bangladesh. Let us tell you that KL Rahul came to bat when India lost its first four wickets for 96 runs in the second session. KL Rahul gave an easy catch to Zakir Khan on the ball of Mehdi Hasan Miraz. Zakir Khan also did not make any mistake and caught this catch well. Zaheer Khan told Cricbuzz, ‘When the team needs you, you play such an innings that your team comes out of that difficult time. In Tests, we have seen many times that batsmen spend maximum time on the crease and we call him a set batsman. The same happened with Rahul. When India needed him the most, he played a bad shot on the ball of the off-spinner and lost his wicket.’ Ravichandran Ashwin played an important unbeaten century for the Indian team By the end of the first day’s play, India has scored 339 runs after losing 6 wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 56 runs for the team. His innings was important because captain Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 6 runs, Shubman Gill was out after scoring 0 and Virat Kohli was out after scoring 6 runs. Rishabh Pant played an innings of 39 runs. Many people expected a big innings from KL Rahul but he failed to leave his mark. However, from the host side, experienced all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has batted very well so far and has scored 102* runs with the help of 10 fours and two sixes. Apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja is batting on 86* runs. Both these players have added 195* runs for the seventh wicket. The second day of the game will be very important for both the teams. Against which team has Virat Kohli scored the most Test centuries? Will Hardik Pandya return to Test cricket?

IND vs BAN: “I am feeling bad, when big players come…”, former veteran made a big statement about Rahul vs Sarfaraz
Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket – Krishnamachari Srikkanth KL Rahul, Kris Srikanth, and Sarfaraz Khan (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian cricket team is to play a two-match Test series at home against Bangladesh from September 19. The BCCI has announced the squad for the first Test, but choosing the playing 11 is going to be a big headache for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. Because there will be competition among the players for some positions. In the middle order, Sarfaraz Khan will compete with KL Rahul for the number-5 spot, while the team has two wicketkeeping options in Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant. Meanwhile, former Indian player and BCCI chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes that the team management will put KL Rahul ahead of Sarfaraz Khan because he is a big player. That’s why the former legend feels bad for the young batsman Sarfaraz Khan. If a big player returns, you will have to lose your place- Chris Srikanth Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kris Srikkanth said, Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket. You may be playing well but when a big player returns, you will have to lose your place, for example Rishabh Pant is returning due to which Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are losing their place because KL Rahul is coming. Kris Srikkanth feels that KL Rahul will be preferred over Sarfaraz due to his overseas record. Sarfaraz Khan has played only one Test series so far, that too at home against England earlier this year. In the back of the mind, they are also keeping the Australia series. New Zealand is also coming. KL Rahul has done well overseas, he has done well in Australia. BCCI has not released Sarfaraz from the Duleep Trophy squad BCCI has made changes in the teams for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The players who have been selected in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh have been released from the Duleep Trophy. However, Sarfaraz Khan and Yash Dayal have been retained for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The reason behind not releasing Sarfaraz Khan is believed to be that he may not get a chance in the playing 11 of the Test against Bangladesh. The second round of Duleep Trophy 2024 will be played in Anantapur from September 12. At the same time, the first Test match between India and Bangladesh will be played in Chepauk from September 19. Team India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh- Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal
‘There is no need to concentrate it in the hands of a few people’, Rahul Dravid’s big statement on Indian cricket came out
We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people, we need to make it egalitarian – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June. After this his tenure ended and now he will be seen as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Meanwhile, he has made a big statement about Indian cricket. He believes that Indian cricket is very powerful. Let us tell you that there is no dearth of talented cricketers in India and this is because cricket is being played all over India and many such young players have emerged from there who have performed brilliantly in IPL and domestic tournaments. After this, some of them have made their name at the international level. Former Indian coach Rahul Dravid believes that these young players are responsible for the change that has come in Indian cricket. Indian cricket is very strong and powerful- Rahul Dravid Dravid was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “If you look at Indian cricket today, Indian cricket is very strong, it is very powerful. One of the big reasons for this is that talent comes from everywhere, from all over the country. Even if there were talented boys in small places, they had to come to big cities to play cricket, but today I think you see in Indian cricket that boys are coming from everywhere.” He continued, “You just look at the standard of Ranji Trophy. In the old days when you played in South Zone apart from Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu, I think it would be fair to say that not many other teams can take it lightly, but certainly you can take it a little more lightly.” Dravid said, we need to strengthen the clubs. We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people. We need to make cricket egalitarian, we need it to be everywhere. You can’t have talent or facilities concentrated in only one or two places. To get the best out of the talent, we need to ensure that young players are getting access to good infrastructure in every part.
Rahul Dravid has won on the principles of cricket and the principles of life: Matthew Hayden
Under the coaching of Dravid, Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024. Matthew Hayden and Rahul Dravid (Image Credit- Twitter Former explosive opening batsman of Australia cricket team Matthew Hayden was seen praising former Indian coach and Rahul Dravid, popularly known as The Wall in the cricket world, at an event. It is worth noting that Dravid and Hayden have been part of some memorable matches between India and Australia. In a match against Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001, Dravid and VVS Laxman shared a record partnership of 376 runs. Laxman scored a record 281 runs in that match, which was also his career best. Dravid also supported him and scored 180 runs. Apart from this, both of them had a partnership of 303 runs in a test match held in Adelaide during the year 2003. In that match, Dravid played a brilliant innings of 233 runs and Laxman scored 148 runs. Matthew Hayden made a big statement about Rahul Dravid Let us tell you that recently in the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards, Matthew Hayden said about Dravid – By the way, you would definitely like to say something about batting all day with VVS Laxman in that extraordinary partnership. Hayden further said- Australia had put everything at stake against Rahul under pressure and he played the game with great decency, restraint and a great sense of fairness. In a game that can push you to win at all costs. Rahul Dravid has won on the principles of cricket and the principles of life. On the other hand, if we give you information about Rahul Dravid, then after Team India’s victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, his tenure was over. So now he is going to be seen working as the head coach for one-time champion Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.
“He has done a good job as captain of LSG…”, said Jonty Rhodes about KL Rahul
The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and approach he has is fantastic – Jonty Rhodes KL Rahul & Jonty Rhodes (Photo Source: Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants performed brilliantly in the first two seasons and made it to the playoffs. But the performance of the franchise in IPL 2024 was disappointing, the team finished seventh with seven wins in 14 matches, 14 points. Before the IPL 2025 auction, there are reports that the franchise may release KL Rahul. Let us tell you, last season, after the defeat in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, there was a tussle between owner Sanjeev Goenka and Rahul on the field. However, Sanjeev Goenka has dismissed all speculations and called KL Rahul an integral part of the team and his family. Meanwhile, LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes has made a big statement praising Rahul’s captaincy and approach. Jonty Rhodes said a big thing about KL Rahul’s captaincy Jonty Rhodes, while speaking on India Today, said, I think if you look at the record as a captain of a new franchise, reaching the playoffs every time, as he has done. That is something that means a lot to his captaincy. The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and his approach is fantastic. Speaking further, Jonty Rhodes said, Look at Rohit and Dhoni’s record as captains, the trophies they have won and the consistency they have shown to win trophies. From LSG’s point of view, reaching the final, winning the trophy, it can be just one thing. Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful IPL franchises with five titles, but the team had to struggle for many years to win the first title. The franchise won the first title in 2013. Jonty Rhodes believes that Lucknow Super Giants are also struggling just like Mumbai right now.
