DTVHINDIIND vs BAN 2nd Test: Rain spoiled the fun, only 35 overs were played on the first day, read the condition of the first day
India won the toss in the match and decided to bowl first. India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) IND vs BAN 2nd Test: The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from today, 27th September. Let us tell you that after winning the toss in this match, the host team decided to bowl and invited Bangladesh to bat first. However, today rain spoiled the fun on the first day of the game. Rain affected play for a few overs once in the first session, but once again, it rained heavily just before tea time on the first day of play. Seeing the heavy rain, it did not seem that the game would be able to start till the end of the day. Due to heavy rain the umpires have declared stumps. At the time of stump on the first day, visiting Bangladesh has scored 107 runs at the loss of 3 wickets after 35 overs. India vs Bangladesh second test, condition of first day If we talk about the match in detail, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first, which was quite surprising, because it becomes very difficult to bat in the fourth innings in India. But still Rohit and management decided to bowl first in the second test match. Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam came to bat as openers for Bangladesh. The first wicket fell in the form of Zakir Hasan, when he got a wicket in the hands of Yashasvi Jaiswal against Akashdeep in the 9th over without opening the account. Jaiswal took an excellent catch and showed Hasan the way to the pavilion. So after this, his partner Shadman was once again out LBW by Akashdeep for 24 runs. After this, captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto, who came to bat, was out LBW against Ashwin after scoring 31 runs. So at the end of the day, Mominul Haq is present with 40* and Mushfiqur Rahim with 6*. So far, Akashdeep has got 2 wickets and R Ashwin has got 1 wicket from India’s side. UPDATE🚨 Due to incessant rains, play on Day 1 has been called off in Kanpur.

Sutherland has indicated that Maxwell will be seen playing in the upcoming tournament, so that he can make a place in the national team. Will Sutherland made a big statement Let us tell you that regarding Glenn Maxwell, 24-year-old Will Sutherland said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo – I think he (Glenn Maxwell) will be available for some time and I believe he is also eager to play.

So, at the moment, hopefully it can work out well. Maxwell has played a total of 7 Test matches for Australia so far, in which he has scored a total of 339 runs at an average of 26.08. Apart from this, he has taken a total of 8 wickets in bowling at an average of 42.62.

Ajinkya Rahane: Maharashtra government took away land from Sunil Gavaskar and handed it over to Ajinkya Rahane; Read what is the matter?
Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane will launch a sports academy in Mumbai. Ajinkya Rahane (Photo Source: Twitter) The Maharashtra Cabinet on Monday approved the lease of 2,000 square metres of land to veteran batsman Ajinkya Rahane to develop a world-class sports complex in Mumbai’s posh Bandra area. Ajinkya Rahane has given this information by sharing a post on Instagram. Let us tell you that in 1988, this plot was given to the great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar to set up an indoor training academy. Why did the government take away the plot from Sunil Gavaskar? A cabinet note said that Gavaskar was first allotted the plot 36 years ago to develop an indoor cricket training academy. The government took back the plot due to lack of development. The government has said that the condition of the plot is bad as slum dwellers are using the plot for wrong purposes. Ajinkya Rahane thanked the government Thank you Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @mieknathshinde ji, Deputy CMs Shri @Dev_Fadnavis ji and sir @AjitPawarSpeaks ji and Mr. @ShelarAshish ji, Treasurer BCCI, for supporting my vision of a world-class cricket academy & sports facility in Mumbai. This academy will empower… — Ajinkya Rahane (@ajinkyarahane88) September 23, 2024 Ajinkya Rahane got land on lease for 30 years The Maharashtra Cabinet has approved the Revenue Department’s proposal to give land on a 30-year lease to cricketer Ajinkya Madhukar Rahane to develop a modern sports facility, an official said. The proposal to lease the plot to Rahane was approved by MHADA (Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority), which was approved by the Council of Ministers. The plot given to the ‘Sunil Gavaskar Cricket Foundation Trust’ was returned to the state government in May 2022. Despite prime location, the academy was not built In 2021, Maharashtra Government Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad revealed that Sunil Gavaskar has not done any work for the academy. Despite having a prime location, no good cricket academy has been built there. Sunil Gavaskar is one of the greatest cricketers of Team India. He scored 10122 and 3092 runs respectively in 125 Tests and 108 ODIs for India. For a long time, Gavaskar held the record for scoring the most centuries in Tests (34), which was later broken by Sachin Tendulkar.
Aakash Chopra feels Rishabh Pant can become India’s greatest Test batsman, read the big news
Pant has made a great comeback in Test cricket Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team cricketer Aakash Chopra has recently made a big statement about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Chopra has expressed doubt on whether Pant can be considered India’s greatest Test batsman or not? It is worth noting that after the terrible car accident in the year 2022, Pant has recently returned to red ball cricket in the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. On his return to Test cricket, Pant appeared in his old familiar style and proved his usefulness by scoring a century. Pant has scored 6 centuries in 34 Test matches played so far, which is equal to Dhoni’s 6 centuries scored in 90 Test matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Akash Chopra said on Colors Cineplex- whether Pant is India’s greatest Test batsman or not, if MS Dhoni’s name is in that list then it will be questionable. However, if you look at the performance done in SENA countries, then Pant is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in South Africa, England and Australia. Chopra further said- He (Rishabh Pant) has already scored six centuries in Test cricket. For this he has played only 58 innings, even though he is not India’s greatest Test batsman right now, he can definitely end his career as the greatest player. On the other hand, if we talk about Pant, he is currently in action in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. After performing brilliantly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant will now be eyeing a better performance in the second Test match starting in Kanpur from September 27.
Praveen Kumar Exclusive: Friendship with Rohit, captaincy and IPL coaching, read Crictracker’s special conversation with Praveen Kumar
Let us know what Praveen said in this conversation Praveen Kumar (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar was very famous for swing bowling during his cricketing career. His cricket career for the Indian team lasted for about 6 years, in which he performed brilliantly. So these days Praveen is seen in the role of coach in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC). In the ongoing LLC 2024 season, he is working as the head coach of Manipal Tigers. So recently, in a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, he talked about Rohit’s captaincy, IPL coaching and other important topics. So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Praveen Kumar: Question: What do you have to say about your new role in LLC? Praveen Kumar:It feels great. Question: Can you coach the Indian team or any IPL team? Praveen Kumar: Yes, definitely, if someone gives me a chance I will definitely go. Question: You have played a lot with Rohit, he is also a very good friend of yours, did you think at that time that he would become such a successful captain of India? Praveen Kumar: It definitely seemed that he has quality. His captaincy is very simple, it is not like any hot-fisted captaincy, panicking, this is happening, he remains normal. It feels good when he captains. Question: If someone wants to become a fast bowler in India then what is most important for him? Praveen Kumar: See, some bowlers are natural. See, there are only a few bowlers who can bowl 150 balls, there is a little difference in their physique, their arm, Shoaib Akhtar’s arm is a little different, RP’s is also like that, Bumrah’s arm is also like that, otherwise bowlers from all over the world would have bowled 150 balls. That is because their training is different, their body is different, that is why they are different bowlers. Question: Bumrah is currently doing well in all three formats, so who can be the next Indian bowler like him? Praveen Kumar: No, there are a lot of boys. There is a boy named Akashdeep who is doing well, so boys are coming.
Asghar Afghan Exclusive Part-2: Afghanistan in Champions Trophy, coaching in IPL and how to improve Test cricket? Read Crictracker’s exclusive interview with Asghar Afghan
Read this special interview with Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Image Credit- Twitter/X) Former Afghanistan cricket team captain Asghar Afghan will be seen playing for Gujarat Greats in the third season of Legends League Cricket (LLC). Recently, he had a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, about the Afghanistan team. In this interview, he has told what the Afghan team will have to do to do well in Test cricket. How is Afghanistan going to perform in the Champions Trophy? And is he himself going to be seen working with any IPL team? So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Asghar Afghan: Question: How do you see the performance of the Afghanistan team in the upcoming Champions Trophy? Asghar Afghan: Look, the pitches of Pakistan and India are quite similar. There are batting tracks, later they are a bit slow. But Afghanistan will have to go there and play good cricket. As I said earlier, Afghanistan players are very experienced at this time, they play cricket leagues all over the world, play different bowlers. In my opinion, today there is no team as experienced as Afghanistan in the world except India and one or two other teams. But it is being heard that India will go to Pakistan or not because of politics. In my opinion, these things should be kept away from cricket. Sports should be kept away from politics. Afghanistan will play very good cricket in the upcoming Champions Trophy. They have a lot of experience in the 50-over World Cup and the T20 World Cup, the team now knows that they can beat any team. So, I hope that this time Afghanistan’s performance in the Champions Trophy will be different. Question: What more does Afghanistan need to do to improve in Test cricket? Asghar Afghan: Look, first of all we have to make our first class cricket tough. Whenever Afghanistan has a first class season, I think all national players should play the first class season. Our first class season is about to start, but about 40-50 of our young cricketers have left the country. If the current 25-30 cricketers also do not play first class cricket, then our test cricket will be left far behind. My suggestion to the cricket board is that they should ask the national players to play domestic cricket so that the youth can gain experience. Only then can we do well in this format. Question: This time too you are playing LLC season, how is your preparation this season and will your team lift the trophy? Asghar Afghan: On the paper, our team is very good. The team has players like Shikhar Dhawan, Chris Gayle, Mohammad Kaif, Shannon Gabriel. We are just playing regular cricket. Before this, I have also played a lot of cricket leagues. You can’t say anything in T20 cricket, let’s see what happens, but we will try to play good cricket. Question: If you get a chance to work in IPL in…

Read the interesting story of that match, when the India vs New Zealand ODI match was stopped due to the sun
This incident happened during the year 2019 Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) There are many reasons during a cricket match when the start of the game gets delayed due to some reason. Many times it has been seen due to technology, rain, storm, faulty flood lights and fans entering the field. However, if we tell you that once the match was halted due to the sun, would you believe it? But for your information, let us tell you that this is absolutely true. The first ODI match played during India’s tour of New Zealand in 2019 was halted due to the sun. It is worth noting that the first match of that tour of India was played at McLean Park, Napier. Usually the pitches in a stadium are situated in the north-south direction, but in Napier the pitch is in the east-west direction, due to which the sunlight was falling directly in the eyes of the players in that match. After this, Indian team’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan complained to the umpire about this. Umpire Shaun Haig discussed this incident in an interview and said that the sun is directly in the eyes of the batsmen. Therefore, we have to consider the safety of the players and the umpires. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the game until the situation improves. This was the first time in my 14 years that I have seen something like this happen on a cricket field. The good news is that we have 30 minutes of extra time. We are hoping to be back in 30 minutes and it will still be a 50-over game. India won the match by 8 wickets On the other hand, if we tell you about the situation of that match, India won the match by 8 wickets. Due to rain, the match was reduced to 38-38 overs. Batting first, New Zealand had set a target of 157 runs for India to win, which India achieved by losing 2 wickets. Dhawan remained unbeaten by scoring 75* runs in the match.
