William O’Rourke impressed in the Galle Test match by taking five wickets in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings, while Rachin held one end by scoring 92 runs in the second innings. Now, after the match is over, captain Tim Southee has given a big statement. Tim Southee gave a big statement After the first test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand ended in Galle, Tim Southee said- William O’Rourke has had a very short test career so far, and he has certainly announced it himself. We saw in New Zealand how dangerous he can be. He has the skills to have a very good Test career. For him to come in his first Test on the subcontinent and perform so well by taking 8 wickets in the match is nothing short of extraordinary. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders and he can become a big player, so there is a lot to like about William O’Rourke. Saudi further said about Rachin- Rachin (Ravindra) kept us in the Test match chase. We knew it was going to be tough, as the pitch was turning a lot in the last few days. It was a brilliant innings by Rachin in those conditions.

Without these two players, Team India cannot make a playing XI for Tests at home.’ Kamran Akmal also praised Rishabh Pant a lot Apart from Ashwin and Jadeja, Kamran Akmal also praised Rishabh Pant who scored a valuable century for his team in the second innings of the first Test played against Bangladesh. Rishabh Pant scored 109 runs in the second innings of the first Test. Kamran Akmal further said, ‘Rishabh Pant also performed brilliantly. I salute the medical panel and trainer who brought him back to the field.’ India is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series. Now the second and final Test between these two teams is starting from 27 September in Kanpur. So far, all these three players have performed very well for Team India and Ravichandran Ashwin, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja would definitely want to leave their mark in the second Test to be held in Kanpur.

Ravindra Jadeja is out of ODI, BCCI is looking for a replacement, he may soon retire from this format too

Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not in the team selected for the three-match ODI series, seeing which the fans were a bit surprised. Since then, there has been a constant debate about why Jadeja has not been selected in the team. He has been an important part of India’s ODI team for more than 10 years. Now some important reports are coming out about Ravindra Jadeja. The new management under the captaincy of head coach Gautam Gambhir is looking for a future replacement for the spin all-rounder keeping in mind the upcoming Champions Trophy. Jadeja is not in BCCI’s plans for ODI cricket. The Men in Blue will play only six ODIs before the Champions Trophy and the goal is to use these six matches to give match time to Akshar and Sundar. BCCI is looking for a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja One of the sources close to the developments told Hindustan Times that there is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance but the management wants to build a team for the future. A BCCI source told Hindustan Times, “India have only six ODIs to play before the Champions Trophy next year, including three in Sri Lanka. The selectors want to use Axar Patel and Washington Sundar in all the matches by giving them more chances.” He further said, “There is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance. The management wants to consider other options because we have to build a team for the future.” Axar was part of India’s squad in the ODI World Cup 2023 but was ruled out due to an injury ahead of the tournament. Since then, he has done a commendable job in the shortest format of the game and was a key player for the Rohit Sharma-led side in the T20 World Cup 2024. Axar has played 57 ODIs so far in which he has taken 60 wickets and scored 489 runs. When it comes to Washington, he is expected to get opportunities in white-ball cricket. He performed well in the recent Zimbabwe series and is expected to continue the same momentum.
Washington Sundar is ready to give 100% for India, said this on replacing Ravindra Jadeja
In the match played at Harare Sports Club ground, after winning the toss and batting first, Team India scored 182 runs in 20 overs on the basis of Captain Gill’s half century. While chasing this target, half of Zimbabwe’s team was out on 39 runs. However, on the basis of Myers’ half century, the team managed to avoid a shameful defeat in this match. Zimbabwe’s team could only reach 159 runs on the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Washington Sundar took the maximum 3 wickets in bowling for Team India and also won the Player of the Match award. Man of the Match Washington Sundar said- ‘To be honest, it feels very good. This pitch was very good for bowling. Earlier also, bowlers have got help in both the matches.’ Does Washington Sundar want to replace Ravindra Jadeja? Washington was named Player of the Match, which will give him a lot of confidence. The 24-year-old was never a regular in the Indian team, as the selectors preferred Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel over him. However, after Jadeja’s retirement from the shortest format of the game, there is scope for Washington to cement his position in the T20I team. Though the Chennai-born cricketer is not focused on playing Jadeja’s role, he is ready to give his 100% whenever the national team needs him. He says he wants to prepare well and be there for the team whenever needed. “I need to perform where I am good and what I am capable of, especially with my preparation. I have to give my 100 per cent every day. That is something I have not compromised on.” “It is a huge opportunity for me to play for India and I am blessed with it. I have to keep doing my job, keep preparing and keep getting better. That way everything will be taken care of.”
