Rahul Sharma played a total of 6 matches for Team India in international cricket in which he took 9 wickets. Recently, in an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he made big revelations about many things. Question: Currently you are playing LLC. Earlier the players were not able to participate in league cricket after retiring from international cricket. What do you think is the importance of this tournament? Rahul Sharma: It is a good thing because in Team India also we have played many matches together. We also enjoy playing together and meeting each other. IPL is a big tournament and people from there are seen playing in this league after retirement. Shikhar is brother, he has also participated in this league for the first time and I am enjoying watching him play. Question: Shikhar Dhawan has recently retired from all forms of cricket. Do you think he should have been given more chances? Rahul Sharma: Players know when they should retire and when not. Like I was also playing and recently I also took this decision. This is Shikhar Bhai’s thinking and I cannot say anything about it. Question: As a leg spinner, you played for Team India. Talking about Yuzvendra Chahal, he bowled very well along with Kuldeep but now he is not getting opportunities. To make your place in Team India, should you play as an all-rounder or bring variation in your bowling? Rahul Sharma: Chahal is playing well consistently. He has also performed brilliantly in the county. But as the game is changing, batting is also becoming important. There is no doubt that Chahal is a great bowler and I admire him myself. It is necessary for him to make changes in his batting also. One thing is also that it depends on the captain and coach as to what kind of team they want. Now Gautam Bhai is also there. They will have to take decisions. Gautam Bhai also needs a match winning bowler. Question: Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 format after winning the ICC T20 World Cup. Don’t you think they rushed? Rahul Sharma: Look at the decision of both these players. T20 format is a fast playing format. Both Rohit and Virat are among the best batsmen in the world. Rohit Sharma has participated in all the T20 World Cups and this is no small thing. According to me, whatever decision was taken, both of them took it of their own free will. Question: Virat Kohli has been seen struggling against spinners in recent times. You yourself are a leg spinner. What would you like to say about this problem of Virat Kohli? Rahul Sharma: What can I say about Virat Kohli. I have known him since childhood. He is one of the best batsmen in the world. I am no…

Parthiv Patel gave a big statement regarding KL Rahul Let us tell you that recently while discussing with Geo Cinema, Parthiv said about Rahul – I do not think that we need to question the ability of KL Rahul at all. If someone else has stepped up and performed well in his absence, it does not mean that Rahul’s place was in danger. I never had any doubts about his place in the team. Parthiv further said- I think when you said that KL Rahul was under pressure, I sometimes wonder why, because his series in South Africa was very good, and even before getting injured, he had played England cricket. Batted well against the team. So, if we give you information about Rahul’s performance in this series against Bangladesh, then in the two matches played, Rahul scored a total of 106 runs at an average of 53 and a strike rate of 92.98, in which the fans also got to see a quick half-century. .

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.

Apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja is batting on 86* runs. Both these players have added 195* runs for the seventh wicket.

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

The first Test between India and Bangladesh will be played from November 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KL Rahul and Brad Hogg (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is going to be seen in action very soon. It is worth noting that the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is going to start from November 19. The first match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from November 19. So now former Australian player Brad Hogg has selected the Indian cricket team for this match. But you will be surprised to know that he has not given place to all-rounder Akshar Patel and experienced batsman KL Rahul, who are in great form, in this team. Apart from this, he has decided to play left-right batting player Ravindra Jadeja at number five in his team. Let us tell you that KL Rahul played for the India A team in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, in which he also scored a half-century in the second innings of the first match played at M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru. On the other hand, Jadeja has not played any competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, it is natural to have doubts on Hogg’s decision. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg said- The playing XI I am going with for India for the first Test match against Bangladesh is- Jaiswal, Rohit will open the batting. Gill at No. 3, Kohli at No. 4, and left-hander Ravindra Jadeja at No. 5 to maintain the left-right hand combination. Then there is Sarfaraz Khan, Pant and then you have bowlers where you have Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Siraj and Bumrah. Brad Hogg’s selection of India’s team against Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.

Rahul last played a Test against England in Hyderabad, in which he scored 86 in the first innings and 22 in the second innings. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Earlier this year, Sarfaraz Khan, who is known for his aggressive batting in domestic cricket, was successful in impressing the Indian team management by performing brilliantly in the Test series against England. 26-year-old Sarfaraz scored a total of 200 runs at an average of more than 50 in the 3 Test matches played against England. This was the reason why he was able to make it to the Indian team for India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. However, now the news is coming that in the first Test match against Bangladesh, KL Rahul may be given preference in the playing eleven instead of Sarfaraz Khan. Recently, a senior source of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also given a big statement regarding this. BCCI source gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with The Wire, a senior BCCI source said – People from outside do not understand how a team works and what systems are in place. In his last three Test matches, KL Rahul scored a century in South Africa, which is one of the best Test innings in recent times and in the last Test he played in Hyderabad before the injury, he scored 86 runs. He was not dropped from the team, but he got injured. But now he is fit and available. He scored a half-century in the Duleep Trophy, and when he got time, he started. The source further said- Sarfaraz Khan has done everything right, but if he gets injured, he will be out of the team, but Rahul’s experience is irreplaceable. And the team management is looking at him not only against Bangladesh but also against Australia, where experience matters. 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.
‘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.

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.
