“I am looking forward to their tour to Australia, it will be a real test for the team”- Sourav Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly expects India to comfortably win the two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19. However, he warned the Rohit Sharma-led side not to take Bangladesh lightly as they will be full of confidence after their historic series win against Pakistan earlier this month. In the coming days, Ganguly is eager to see how India performs in the five-match series against Australia starting on November 22. India has managed to win its last two series against Australia and will now be eyeing a hat-trick of wins. The 52-year-old said that the Australia series will be the real test and also said that the England series in 2025 will also be important. He said that fast bowlers will play an important role in both the series. I am waiting for his tour to Australia- Sourav Ganguly “I don’t see Bangladesh winning; India will win the series. But India should expect good and tough cricket from Bangladesh because they are coming into the series with a lot of confidence after beating Pakistan in Pakistan,” Ganguly told reporters in Kolkata. The former legendary cricketer further added, “I am looking forward to their tour of Australia; for me it will be the real test for the team. Then, when they tour England in July, these are the two most important tours, honestly. I think the fast bowling department will be stronger once Bumrah and Siraj and Shami are back.” Akash Deep was included in the Indian squad for the England series where he played just one match in Ranchi and took three wickets. Recently, in the Duleep Trophy, he took five wickets against India B and after this performance, he has been included in the squad for the Bangladesh series. Speaking about the same, Ganguly praised the Bengal pacer and said that he will be as fast as Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami in the near future.

“Becoming the head coach of India is not challenging…”, why did Virender Sehwag give such a statement…?
India has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles – Virender Sehwag Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the head coach of India in all three formats. Gambhir’s tenure as head coach has been mixed so far. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 in the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, they had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series. Meanwhile, recently former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on the role of the head coach. Sehwag believes that this responsibility is not as difficult as it may seem from the outside. He also explained the reason why the players will have more burden than Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir is there to help them all- Virender Sehwag Talking about the interview given to Amar Ujala, Virender Sehwag said, I don’t think it is a challenging role because it involves other professionals as well. The team has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles. Gambhir’s arrival will give clarity to the players. It will be an added advantage. The challenges will be less for Gambhir and more for the players, because now they will feel that after the T20 World Cup they have to win the Champions Trophy or the WTC Final or the World Cup. But of course, Gambhir is there to help all of them. Sehwag never wants to become the head coach of Team India Virender Sehwag further revealed why he would never accept the role of Indian coach. However, he has expressed his desire to become an IPL coach. Let us tell you, Sehwag was the mentor of the franchise from 2016 to 2018 after representing Punjab Kings in 2014 and 2015. Not with the Indian cricket team, but if the IPL gives me a coaching opportunity, I can definitely consider it. If I become the head coach of India, I will have to return to the same routine that I have done for 15 years. To play for the Indian team, you have to stay out for 8-9 months a year. If I become the head coach of India, staying away from my children will be the biggest challenge for me. I will not be able to give time to my children. But yes, if the role of coach or mentor is available in the IPL, I can accept it.
