“People give credit to Rishabh Pant but the real hero of 2021 BGT win was Pujara” – Tim Paine’s surprising statement
Cheteshwar Pujara & Tim Paine (Photo Source: Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently opened up about how important Cheteshwar Pujara’s role was in India’s memorable 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win. Paine said that Pujara played the most important role in that series win but people still give his credit to Rishabh Pant. In the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after suffering a humiliating defeat in Adelaide, India, without their regular captain Virat Kohli and several key senior players, made a spectacular comeback and won the series 2-1. On the 2020-21 Australia tour, Team India won the last Test match of the series, which was played at the Gabba ground, by three wickets, in which Rishabh Pant played the match-winning innings. That innings of Rishabh Pant was recorded in the pages of history. Pant is considered the hero of the 2020-21 Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has a different opinion about it. He believes that because of Cheteshwar Pujara, Team India had captured the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. The player who won the series for India in the last series was Cheteshwar Pujara – Tim Paine Tim Paine said on the Grade Cricketers podcast, ‘From what I remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant, in the last series in Australia, but the man who won the series for India was Cheteshwar Pujara. He had demoralized us and our fast bowlers. He was continuously getting the ball hit on his body, but was getting up again and again. It still has its place in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pujara may not have scored a century, but he spent a long time at the crease, and tired the Australian bowlers. Pujara had scored 271 runs in the four-match Test series, of which 77 was his best score. Whereas Rishabh Pant had scored 274 runs in the series.

The Bangladesh team has reached Pakistan a few days ago for this series. Currently both the teams are practicing and meanwhile Bangladesh team has complained that the internet speed in Pakistan is slow. After hearing this complaint, Pakistan Cricket Board is being ridiculed a lot. Bangladeshi players are troubled due to slow internet speed Media reports are claiming that due to slow internet in Pakistan, Bangladeshi players are not able to communicate properly with their families. That is why they have complained. A journalist from Pakistani news channel Geo News has also claimed that the Bangladesh cricket team has complained to its team management that they are facing problems due to slow internet speed in Pakistan. Bangladeshi players are worried about their families There has been a lot of violence in the country since Sheikh Hasina fled from Bangladesh. Therefore, Bangladesh players are worried about their families. Since the internet speed in Pakistan is slow, they are not even able to make video calls properly. The Pakistan Cricket Board is being targeted by fans not only for the internet but also for organizing a test match without fans. Actually, the first test between the two teams will be played in Rawalpindi, while the second test is to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. But the PCB has issued an order that this match will be played in an empty stadium and fans are not being allowed to come. The reason given by the PCB behind this is that renovation work is going on to improve the venue in view of the 2025 Champions Trophy. In such a situation, some former players are also making fun of this decision.
This is the real reason why Yuzvendra Chahal was not selected in the team for Sri Lanka tour, his career may end!

Yuzvendra Chahal (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Venkatapathy Raju has given such a statement on Yuzvendra Chahal being excluded from both T20 and ODI format teams for India’s upcoming Sri Lanka tour, which has started a war again. It is worth noting that due to Chahal not being given a chance in the team for a long time, this matter has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world. Talking about this, Raju said that Chahal is a great bowler, but the team is currently focusing on all-rounders. Due to which players like Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel were given preference over Chahal, who is also a specialist bowler and batsman. Raju said that because of these all-rounder players, it is becoming very challenging for any specialist bowler to secure a place in the playing 11. As quoted by the Times of India, Venkatapathy Raju said- “You should always believe in yourself. Chahal has been a fantastic bowler. But unfortunately, we focus more on all-rounders. That’s why we had Jadeja, then we had Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. If Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are part of the squad then you cannot keep them away from the playing 11.” “Yuzi is a fantastic bowler, but he got dropped because he hasn’t played enough matches. It’s not like you’re getting old or anything is taken away from you. You can always play good matches, come back and perform well. Now, the biggest problem for all selectors is that there is so much variety in choosing players now.” “It takes real courage to pick someone with such a variety. Hopefully he will play a lot of domestic cricket and come back stronger.”

Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stankovic , Indian cricket team’s all-rounder and Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has been a topic of discussion for a long time. His performance in IPL 2024 was very disappointing. While captaining Mumbai Indians, Hardik flopped in both batting and bowling. Under the leadership of Hardik, the five-time champion Mumbai Indians finished at the bottom with an average performance in the 17th season. Now a shocking information related to his personal life is coming to light. According to media reports, there is something wrong between Hardik and his wife Natasha Stankovic. The actress was also threatened online over Hardik’s IPL performance. There is talk that perhaps the two are going to separate from each other. Natasha has been away from the limelight for the last few days. Hardik Pandya’s wife Natasha Stankovic has removed the Pandya surname from her Instagram. This is why people on social media are speculating about a rift in their relationship. However, the couple has not yet given any concrete answer to this. Hardik Pandya-Natasa Stankovic Post on Reddit regarding Hardik-Natasha’s divorce went viral A post is going viral on Reddit asking if Natasa and Hardik have split. The post on Reddit said, “This is just a guess. But the two don’t post about each other on Instagram stories. Earlier, Natasa’s Instagram bio read Natasa Stankovic Pandya. But now she has removed this name. Her birthday was on March 4 and Hardik didn’t post anything on that day. She deleted some of her and Hardik’s recent posts except the Agastya post. Also, she hasn’t been seen in the IPL stands or any team-related posts this year. Krunal and Pankhuri still comment on her posts but there is definitely something fishy between Hardik and Natasa.” The last few times have not been very good for Hardik. Hardik was away from the cricket field for a long time due to injury during the ODI World Cup. After recovering from the injury, Hardik made a comeback in IPL 2024. Along with this, Mumbai Indians traded Pandya from Gujarat Titans to the Mumbai team. He was not only included in the Mumbai team but was also given the captaincy of the team.

Along with this, he has also given a very strict statement on the team’s batting. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag pointed towards Pandya’s batting order. Sehwag says that when Pandya gujarat titans When he played for India, he always batted at number four. At the same time, the entire cricket world was surprised to see Pandya and Tim David coming to bat at number 7 and number 8.

Talking about the batting order of Hardik Pandya and Tim David, Sehwag said that- “When hardik pandya When he was the captain of Gujarat, he batted continuously at number four. so when he Mumbai What happened when Indians came? I am surprised to see experienced players coming in to bat so late and lower down the order. The team management should take strict action against the players and seek answers from them as to what is really happening and why the batting order has been changed. Here the team captain, batting coach, bowling coach and support staff are all guilty. Team owners need to take a tough stance.” Are Hardik-David such bad players? – Sehwag Regarding sending Pandya and David to bat late, Sehwag said- “KKR had saved Andre Russell for the last overs. But why did Mumbai Indians send Hardik Pandya and Tim David late. What did you get from it? There were still many balls and wickets left. You should have either come to bat early and finished the match early. I don’t understand what they do in the end. Are they (Pandya and David) such bad players that if they come to bat early they will get out?”
