Ravi Shastri has become a fan of Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling performance in T20 World Cup 2024
Jasprit Bumrah took a total of 15 wickets in eight matches in this important tournament. Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former player and former head coach of India Ravi Shastri has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you, Jasprit Bumrah took a total of 15 wickets in eight matches in this important tournament. He bowled very well throughout this tournament and constantly put pressure against the batsmen of the opposing team. Talking about the Indian team, they did not lose even a single match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Not only this, he bowled lethally in the last overs against Pakistan and South Africa in the final and put the match in India’s bag. Ravi Shastri said on the ICC review, ‘I think the match played between India and Pakistan was the most exciting match of this tournament. In this match, India gave a tough challenge and they got to know with which combination they have to play further in this tournament. Not only this, the last five overs were also very important in the final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Jasprit Bumrah took the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan at a crucial time in the match played against Pakistan, after which India took the lead in the match. All this happened during the first ball of the new spell. Ravi Shastri praised Jasprit Bumrah a lot Ravi Shastri further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has told the world what you should do with the ball whenever it is in your hand. Very few people have done this. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younus have done this in their high level days when they used to play white ball cricket. This could also be seen with Shane Warne, he knew where the ball would pitch and hit the wicket. Players who recognize the ability of their game are able to do this. Something similar was seen with Jasprit Bumrah in this World Cup.’ Regarding Rishabh Pant, Ravi Shastri said, ‘He did his job well with the bat and surprised everyone with his wicketkeeping. It is very difficult for anyone to recover so quickly and then move forward like this. He too must have felt a lot of pressure in this tournament because it is not easy for any player to make a comeback so quickly.’ 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?

He also played an important role in India’s 1983 World Cup victory. He was also the first Indian batsman to hit six sixes in an over, he achieved this feat while playing for Mumbai against Baroda in the 1985-86 Ranji season.

“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness
Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.

“And got out in dangerous fashion” Why did Ravi Shastri say this to Rishabh Pant as coach?
Ravi Shastri revealed how he encouraged a dejected Rishabh Pant when he was sitting alone in the dressing room after his dismissal. Ravi Shastri. (Photo by Adam Davy/PA Images via Getty Images Former cricketer Ravi Shastri served as the head coach of India for four years and during his tenure, Team India recorded some memorable moments. One such win took place during the year 2020-21, when the inexperienced Indian team came close to winning the historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. India had to face a shameful defeat in the first Test in Adelaide, Team India was all out for 36 runs in the second innings of that match. Mohammed Shami was injured during this clash and the then captain Virat Kohli also returned to India with his wife for the birth of their first child. After that Ajinkya Rahane was given the captaincy and he led India to victory in the second Test match played in Melbourne and leveled the series. After this, the third Test match played in Sydney was drawn after a fighting partnership of 62 runs between Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin in the fourth innings. But before this partnership, Rishabh Pant had played an important role. Rishabh Pant had scored a brilliant 97 runs in 118 balls with the help of 12 fours and three sixes. The only thing running in everyone’s mind was that if Pant had played till the end, India could have won the match. Ravi Shastri revealed the secret about Rishabh Pant after years Rishabh Pant tried to hit a slag shot to Nathan Lyon to complete his century but he was caught by Pat Cummins. Now Ravi Shastri has revealed how he encouraged a dejected Pant when he was sitting alone in the dressing room after his dismissal. Speaking on Ashwin’s YouTube show, ‘Kutty Stories with Ash’, Shastri said- “If I tell him that he should not play that particular shot, it is against his nature. He can play the same shot again and again, better than the other. I told him that I am getting bored, you are getting out in the same way again and again. When he was out for hitting a shot to Nathan Lyon in Sydney, he came back and was sitting alone in the dressing room. And then the second new ball was taken and Pujji (Cheteshwar Pujara) hit seven fours.” “So, when I went to the toilet, he was sitting alone in the dressing room, still wearing his pads. I looked at him and said, Pujji is scoring all your runs. He has hit 7 boundaries in half an hour. You are boring me man, by hitting reverse. You are getting out in the same way again and again. And was out in dangerous fashion. And then Pant said to me ‘This is what happened’. After this, Pant (Rishabh Pant) played an important role in India’s spectacular victory in the fourth Test at Gabba. He scored an unbeaten 89 off 138 balls as India chased down the target of 328 runs in the…
