KL Rahul played the last match for India in this format during the T20 World Cup 2022. Rahul also did not get a chance in the T20 series of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka tour, which clearly indicates that the management no longer sees him as a T20 format player. However, former Indian player Dodda Ganesh believes that KL Rahul can still make a comeback in the shortest format of the game. However, Rahul needs to change his intent. He can still make a comeback if he improves his approach- Dodda Ganesh Dodda Ganesh tweeted on social media and wrote, If KL Rahul improves his approach in T20, he can still make a comeback and perform well for the Indian team in T20 Internationals. He is such a good talent that he will be missed for a long time. If KL Rahul rectifies his approach in the T20s he can still make a comeback and have a great stint with the Indian team in the T20Is. He is too good a talent to be missing out for long #DoddaMathu #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 1, 2024 KL Rahul scored 520 runs at a strike rate of 136.13 while playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Pant- Rohit Sharma The Indian team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. After winning the T20 series, the team is now ready to play the ODI series from August 2 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In the series against Sri Lanka, who among KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant should be given a place in the playing 11 as a wicketkeeper batsman is going to be a big headache for coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. KL Rahul has shown a great game for India in the ODI World Cup 2023. At the same time, Rishabh Pant made a comeback in international cricket from the T20 World Cup 2024 after injury, he is now ready for a bang comeback in the ODI format as well. Speaking ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma said, It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Both are match winners in their own way. But it is a good problem and I want such problems. We will decide tomorrow.

Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) After winning the T20 series against Sri Lanka 3-0, Team India will now be eyeing to win the upcoming ODI series. The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this match, the biggest headache for captain Rohit Sharma will be whether Rishabh Pant should be selected in the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper or should he stick with KL Rahul? Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time. Rahul last played the ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, Pant played his last ODI international match in November 2022. He had a car accident in December.

“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness
Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.
“He is the captain of the bowlers”- Axar Patel said about Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy
Akshar Patel took two wickets in the first T-20 match. Axar Patel & SuryaKumar Yadav (Photo Source: Team India’s star all-rounder Akshar Patel said that the newly appointed captain of the T20 team Suryakumar Yadav is the captain of the bowlers. He gives freedom to the bowlers to follow their strategy. Akshar also said that in the ongoing series against Sri Lanka, the Indian team will try to try as many combinations as possible in batting. Akshar Patel praised the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav Led by Suryakumar, India got off to a great start by winning the first T20 International against Sri Lanka by 43 runs on Saturday. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Axar Patel emphasized the positive impact of SKY’s constant encouragement on the bowlers. Axar said, “I played with Surya bhai (as captain) in the last Australia series. I know he is the captain of the bowlers. He (sort of) gives you a free hand to decide first. Whenever you hit a boundary, he comes and says it was a good ball. He keeps giving you inputs. As a player, I have a good relationship with him.” Axar recalled the five-match T20 series against Australia in India last year, which India won 4-1. He observed Yadav’s consistent leadership style. “As a captain, I also played with him in the last five matches (against Australia) and when I was playing today, I didn’t feel much change,” he said. In the first T20, Suryakumar Yadav also showed his strategic skills in the first three overs. Akshar explained how captain Surya’s strategic suggestions helped the team focus on taking wickets despite the opposition team scoring early runs.
VIDEO: Ashish Nehra made fun of Jaiswal, said if Virat-Rohit were here then you would still be in the nets…
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-X) India started the series in a great way by defeating host Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20 International match at Pallekele on Saturday. Batting first, the Indian batsmen scored more than 200 and put the home team under pressure. But after the match, Ashish Nehra said something about Yashasvi Jaiswal that even Yashasvi Jaiswal was surprised to hear. Now its video is going viral on social media, in which Yashasvi is seen just smiling on Ashish Nehra’s question. Actually, after the first match of the three-match T20 series being played between India and Sri Lanka, Ashish Nehra made fun of Yashasvi. In the viral video, it can be seen that there was a conversation between former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja and him regarding the match. Then Yashasvi Jaiswal joined the field through video call and Ajay Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on the field? Before Yashasvi could answer this question, Nehra jumped in and laughingly said that as Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit-Virat are on the field… so I think whatever strokes I have seen of yours, you would have had to play them in the nets. As soon as Nehra said this, Jaiswal also started laughing. Nehraji never disappoints. PS When we see fierce batting, @YUVSTRONG12 is always on our mind 🔥🔥#SonySportsNetwork #SLvIND #AshishNehra , @ybj_19 pic.twitter.com/y1gAo1RmiT — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) July 27, 2024 In this match, the pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal (40) and Shubman Gill (34) gave a stormy start to Team India, batting first, adding 74 runs in the first 6 overs. After this, captain Suryakumar Yadav wreaked havoc and scored 58 runs in 26 balls. India put 213 runs on the board for the loss of 7 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. The Sri Lankan team, chasing the target of 214 runs, got a stormy start from the opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis (45) and added 84 runs for the first wicket. But after the dismissal of both the batsmen, the Sri Lankan team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In the end, the host team collapsed for 170 runs in 19.2 overs. For India, Riyan Parag took three wickets for five runs in 1.2 overs. Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel took two wickets each.
