Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Indian young wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma impressed everyone with his performance in the IPL and due to this he got a chance in Team India. However, in the 2024 IPL, Jitesh could score only 187 runs in 12 innings. During this period his strike rate was also only 131.6. Now meanwhile, Jitesh has revealed that he was thinking a lot about the T20 World Cup 2024 during the tournament, due to which his performance in IPL 2024 was disappointing. He also revealed that he was in India’s plans, but did not get a chance due to the abundance of wicketkeeper-batsmen in the team. Speaking to India TV, Jitesh said, “When the IPL started, I was thinking a lot about the World Cup and perhaps that is why I could not focus much on the given match.” I too would have given priority to both of them – Jitesh Sharma “I have no shame in admitting it,” he confessed. It is what it is. I couldn’t think clearly because the World Cup selection was on my mind. The moment the team was selected, my batting got much better. I felt more open, I knew I wasn’t in the team, because I knew I had to focus and score runs. So I managed to play 2-3 good innings till the end of the tournament.” Jitesh Sharma further said, “If I were a selector, I would not have selected myself at that time because Rishabh Pant came back and proved himself and the form Sanju Bhai was in, I would not have selected myself. I too would have given priority to both of them.” Let us tell you that Jitesh has played 9 T-20 international matches for India, in which he has scored 100 runs at an average of 14.28 and an excellent strike rate of 147.05. He last played against Afghanistan in January 2024. In IPL 2023, Jitesh Sharma scored 309 runs at a strike rate of 156.06.

I ran to get the marker and there were two. One was open and one was closed. I was in a hurry so I took the marker that was open. That one was not working at all and I gave it to them. He tried to sign but it was not working at all. Dhoni Bhai told me that you have brought a cheap marker and you are not even walking here. After this I started going to get the second one but Dhoni himself gave me an autograph from the second marker. I had to wait for 15 to 20 minutes to meet Dhoni bhai: Saurav Chauhan The young player further said, ‘I kept waiting for 15 to 20 minutes to meet him.

“The captain and coach asked me to play red ball cricket…”- Sanju Samson’s big revelation
Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Sanju Samson revealed that Team India’s leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches as they are looking to try him in the Test format. Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries. Samson recently attracted the attention of fans and selectors by scoring a century in the Duleep Trophy match. A few days ago, Sanju Samson scored a century in 40 balls in a T20 International match and saved his sinking T20 career. He has played T20 and ODI cricket for India. After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future. He has consistently performed well in the IPL but has not been able to capitalize on his opportunities in international cricket.

He understands the game very well. He’s got a pretty good head on his shoulders. If we look closely, he has not captained much. Jasprit Bumrah has captained only one Test and a few T20 matches but when he is talked to about the game, he understands it all. They know what is needed most. When you are in a situation and you want your captain to come forward, I think Bumrah is one of them. Jasprit Bumrah is one of the experienced players: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has been in our leadership group for a long time. Players also get a lot of encouragement from his presence and he himself has been one of the experienced players.

Rohit Sharma, who recently appeared with the World Cup winning player on ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, said, “All of us boys came together and said one or two things to their batsman, which I cannot share here right now. …But it was necessary to do that because we had to win that match no matter how.” The Indian captain further said, “There is no problem if one or two fines are imposed to win. This is what was in mind. I also told the boys to say whatever they want…we will handle the umpire and referee later.” Rohit Sharma: “I told all the players to look at the umpire and referee later.” —` (@cutxpull45) October 5, 2024 India ended the years-long ICC trophy drought by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup.

I would like to become a spin bowling coach: Rahul Sharma made a big revelation during an exclusive conversation with Crictracker.
Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. Rahul Sharma (Pic Source-Twitter) Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. 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…
Virat and Babar cannot be compared because Indian players…: Zaheer Abbas made a surprising revelation
Zaheer Abbas has said that Virat Kohli and Babar Azam cannot be compared because the experienced batsman of the Indian team is far ahead of the Pakistani player. Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. (Image Source: X) Former player Zaheer Abbas has said that Virat Kohli and Babar Azam cannot be compared because the experienced batsman of the Indian team is far ahead of the Pakistani player. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli started his international cricket career much before Babar Azam, but despite this, there is always a clash between the fans of these two players regarding who is the better batsman. There are many records that Virat Kohli has made and broken. Virat Kohli has scored more than 27000 runs in his international cricket career which includes 80 centuries. Whereas Babar Azam has scored 31 centuries so far and is close to 14000 runs. Virat Kohli scored runs at an average above 66 in 2023 while Babar Azam averaged below 40. According to Cricket Pakistan, during the conversation, Zaheer Abbas said, ‘It is useless to compare between these two players. Virat Kohli scores runs in every match whereas Babar Azam does not score runs in any match, so how can these two be compared? The person who scores runs is a better player. Babar Azam should be removed from the team if he is not scoring runs. This is also because he is our important batsman and if he is not making big scores then he should be dropped from the team. Team India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the test series Let us tell you that Team India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-match Test series. Even though Virat Kohli could not score big in this match, he scored important runs for his team. His performance in international cricket has always been excellent. Talking about Babar Azam, he has not been seen playing important innings for the team for a long time. Before playing the Test series against India, Bangladesh played a two-match Test series against Pakistan, which they won 2-0.

How did you feel when you learned this and why is it important for retired players? Dhawal Kulkarni: This is a very good platform because all the players who are participating here have performed very well for the Indian team in domestic cricket, in international cricket and for their respective teams. We will be able to see him playing once again in this tournament also. Question: Last 1 to 2 years ago you were participating in the Indian Premier League, however you retired. What was the reason behind this because there are some players who are around your age and we can still see them playing in this important tournament? Dhawal Kulkarni: There is no such thing, I was playing cricket for the last 18 years. I have also performed very well in domestic cricket for Mumbai. The best thing is that Mumbai cricket has many talented young players who will be seen performing well in the times to come. I just wanted that other players should get a chance after me. Question: You talked about the fast bowlers of Mumbai. Who do you think are the young fast bowlers from Mumbai whom we will see playing for Team India in the future? Dhawal Kulkarni: No, there are such players. There is Mohit Awasthi who has bowled very well in domestic cricket and also there is Tushar Deshpande. Tushar Deshpande has bowled brilliantly in the Indian Premier League and has also left his mark in domestic cricket for Mumbai. He will also be seen bowling tremendously in international cricket in the coming times. Question: When you played your last home match, the wicket of your Umesh Yadav was a shock and this was also your last wicket. Do you have any memories regarding that? Dhawal Kulkarni: It was a very emotional time for me because I knew it was my last match. Also it was a very good time for me. I also had to make my team win this match. Question: You have also been a part of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and have also played a lot of cricket with Rohit Sharma. What has changed in him now that was not there before? Dhawal Kulkarni: There has been a lot of change in Rohit Sharma personally. He has also made a lot of changes in his captaincy and his batting has also become stronger now. He has started taking responsibility himself, which is a very good thing and if you ask…
“England’s aim is not to win the WTC, they are the Ashes…”, Monty Panesar made a big revelation in an exclusive interview with CricTracker.
England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket- Monty Panesar Monty Panesar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar is playing for Toyam Hyderabad in the Legends League Cricket 2024. Panesar has played 50 Tests, 26 ODIs and one T20 match for England. In which he has taken 167,24 and 2 wickets respectively. Recently, Monty Panesar talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. Monty Panesar told during the interview that players like James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who have taken retirement from international cricket this year, can play in Legends League cricket. Panesar also revealed the reason why England no longer has a specialist spin bowler. Monty Panesar also said that England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship, they are more focused on the Ashes series and how to play against Australia. He also stressed that Joe Root has the potential to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs. Monty Panesar’s Exclusive Interview with CricTracker Question: The pair of you and Graeme Swann had a lot of dominance against India. At that time England’s spin attack was very strong, but after that such spin attack was not seen. Your thoughts on this? Answer- I think there is a 100 schedule in England now, and due to this the time for the County Championship has reduced. Earlier, specialist spinners used to get more opportunities, but now this is not happening.4 Question: The England team is now playing with the ‘baseball’ style, but they have not been able to reach the World Test Championship final yet. Do you think this approach is right? Answer: England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket. However, the World Test Championship is a big achievement and they should focus on it. But England’s entire plan is focused on winning the Ashes. Question: Virat Kohli has struggled against left-arm spinners. Would you like to give them any advice to improve this weakness? Answer- I think that instead of putting a big player like Virat Kohli under pressure, he should be allowed to play his natural game. He is a big name and there is a lot of pressure on him. They should be allowed to play mentally freely. Question: Joe Root’s performance has also been excellent in recent times. Do you think he can get close to Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs? Answer- Yes, I think Joe Root has that ability. If he maintains his fitness and form, he can definitely get close to Sachin Paaji’s record. Question: Do you think that after Virat Kohli, any other player can reach this level? Answer- I see that potential in Yashasvi Jaiswal. His mentality is very strong, and he can become a big player in the future. Question: How will England and India perform in the Champions Trophy? Answer- The team which is most dangerous for India is England, they know how to defeat India. There…

(Photo by Ryan Pierce/Getty Images) Australia’s experienced batsman Chris Lynn is playing for Joburg Bangla Tigers in the Jim Afro T10 League 2024. Joburg Bangla Tigers have performed well so far in this tournament and have secured their place in the finals. Joburg Bangla Tigers will play the final match against Cape Town Samp Army on 29 September at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. However, before this final, Chris Lynn made a big statement regarding the Jim Afro T10 League tournament and also praised his team. While talking to Crictracker, he also presented his side regarding his batting. Chris Lynn was asked the question that he and Sunil Narine together made the record of scoring 105 in the powerplay for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, which was broken by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. On this, the experienced player said, ‘Sunil Narayan is really an excellent player and scoring 105 runs in the powerplay is a big thing. We were in Bengaluru. Chahal is a very good bowler and we batted very well against him. We were on 99 runs and I hit a six on the last ball and took the team’s score beyond 100. This year Head also scored 15 to 20 runs in every over and he batted really aggressively and broke this record. I am very happy for him myself. Question: In Jim Afro T10 League also we saw players scoring centuries. You yourself have played many matches in T20 format. We have seen even the best scores being broken. What would you like to say about this tournament? Chris Lynn: This is the shortest format of cricket and all the players want is to score the biggest score while batting aggressively. We should not consider anyone weak because the wicket is the same for everyone and the ball is also of the same size and the boundaries are also the same for everyone. This is my first time in Zimbabwe and the players also want to present their best performance in front of the world. We just want to finish this tournament on a high note. What are the young players who have left their mark in this tournament? Question: When T20 cricket was started, questions were also raised on this. The T10 format is also in its infancy. What would you like to say about this format? Chris Lynn: The best thing about this format is that you can play three matches in a single day. Sometimes you have to play two matches in the same day and it is a good challenge for the players as well and they get a chance to show tremendous performance against different teams. The T10 format is just beginning and it will take some time for the players to understand it. Question: Just as the T20 format has achieved a new position at the international level, can the T10…
