DTVHINDI“Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club” – Mohammad Kaif blasts the Kiwi spinner.
Mohammad Kaif speaking and Ajaz Patel. (Source – Getty Images) Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has recently given a shocking statement on New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel. Ijaz played an important role in the Kiwi team’s historic 3-0 Test series win over India. This statement of Kaif has now suddenly come into limelight. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium, Ajaz Patel performed brilliantly and continued his excellent record. The New Zealand team became the first team to achieve a whitewash in a Test series of three or more matches on Indian soil. The feat was achieved largely thanks to his spin bowling, with Patel becoming the team’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 15 wickets, including 11 at the Wankhede Stadium alone. However, in a video shared on social media, Mohammad Kaif dismissed Patel’s achievements. Mohammad Kaif gave a surprising statement regarding Ejaz Patel In the video shared on his X account, Mohammad Kaif said, “Ajaz Patel did not bowl well. If you look at the pitch map, he bowled two full-toss, two short balls and two length deliveries, but still managed to take wickets. Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club.” Ajaz Patel has taken 23 wickets in two matches in Mumbai. However, till date he has not played even a test match on New Zealand soil. Kaif further said about Glenn Phillips, “Glenn Phillips is a part-timer and he does not know how to bowl good balls. We lost to part-timers, not quality spinners. People should say that Ajaz Patel has taken 22 wickets at Wankhede Stadium. He could not even land the ball properly. Ajaz Patel bowled only two good balls in an over and took wickets. The defeat in the final test is shameful. There were no good bowlers in the New Zealand team in the Mumbai Test. Kaif only praised Mitchell Santner, who took 11 wickets in Pune. Kaif said, “Santner bowled well. The bowling he bowled in Pune was a classic Test match performance.”

Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are playing for the first time in the Indian team for Australia tour.

Team India players failed to leave their mark. Not only this, after losing the third test, Team India has made 5 disappointing records in its name. Today we will tell you about these five disappointing records. 1- Lost Test series for the first time against New Zealand at home Team India (Photo Source: Before this series, Team India had not lost a single test series against New Zealand.

Captain Rohit Sharma came to the defense of head coach Gambhir who is facing criticism, said- he needs more time…
Rohit Sharma was seen defending head coach Gautam Gambhir. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: India has faced a 3-0 defeat in the series against New Zealand on its home soil. Since then, head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the target of fans on social media. Let us tell you that during the entire series, the performance of the team led by Rohit Sharma with the bat was very poor. They could never put pressure on the visiting team. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee were not with the Kiwi team, yet they whitewashed India 3-0 for the first time in a Test series in India. This was India’s second whitewash defeat under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, Sri Lanka had whitewashed India 3-0 in the ODI series. Therefore, questions are being raised on coach Gambhir whether he is suitable or not. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was seen defending coach Gambhir and said that the coaching unit is very new and it is the responsibility of the players to help them settle in well. Captain Rohit Sharma defended head coach Gautam Gambhir Rohit said in the press conference after India’s 25-run defeat in the third Test in Mumbai, they (coaching staff) have been good. He hasn’t got much time. It is the responsibility of the players to also help them get results, to ensure that we are in touch with their thought process. It is too early to judge anything right now. Rohit is still not sure about his availability for the first Test against Australia in Perth. He had informed BCCI a few months ago about the possibility of dropping the first match. Hence, India have included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a back-up opener and he is expected to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. Rohit said that he is still unsure about his availability.
How will India reach the WTC final?? Now only this miracle can get the ticket
Team India will have to do this work to reach the finals of WTC. Team India (Photo Source: Team India WTC Final Scenario- After suffering a 0-3 clean sweep against New Zealand, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, is almost out of the race for the WTC final. After facing white-wash against New Zealand, Team India has lost the number one position in the WTC points table. Rohit Sharma’s team has now slipped to second position with 58.33 percent marks. At the same time, Australia has benefited from India’s defeat while sitting at home. Pat Cummins’ team has now reached the first position in the points table with 62.5 percent marks. At the same time, after winning against India, New Zealand has gained one place and the team has moved from fifth to fourth position. What does India need to do to reach the WTC final? (WTC 2023-25 Final: India’s Qualification Scenarios Explained) Team India now has to tour Australia at the end of this month, where India has to win the 5-match Border Gavaskar series against the Kangaroos. If India has to get the ticket for the WTC final, then they will not have to lose even a single match out of 5. Yes, if they lose even a single match on the Australia tour, they will be out of the race for the finals. Now the only way out for Team India is that they will have to defeat Australia at least four Tests on their soil, apart from this, even if one match is drawn, India can get the ticket for the final. If India wins four Test matches against Australia and loses one, they will have a maximum of 64.03 percent points in their account. On the other hand, if Team India is successful in winning four matches and drawing one match, then they will have 65.78 percent points in their account. Now it will be interesting to see whether Team India succeeds in qualifying for the WTC final from here or not.
Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.
