DTVHINDI“Such useless bowling… yet Rohit Sharma did not say anything to him” – DK said about Shardul and Prasidh Krishna
India lost the first Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park, Centurion by an innings and 32 runs to go down 0-1 in the two-match series. In response to South Africa’s mammoth score of 408 runs, thanks to a brilliant century by Dean Elgar (185) in the first innings, the Rohit Sharma-led team could only score 245 and 131 runs in both the innings. After India’s defeat, Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik strongly criticized the pair of Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna, who failed to provide any assistance to Jasprit Bumrah in bowling during the match. Commenting on his performance, Karthik said that Thakur was in the last series in South Africa as well but despite this, he had an ordinary performance this time. Rohit Sharma was very kind towards Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna – Dinesh Karthik Speaking on a Cricbuzz show, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shardul and Prasidh definitely need to improve their game. Rohit was very kind to him when he said that he is a young bowler. But Shardul was in the last series also. He performed very well. But this time it was a very normal performance. Prasidh Krishna is a young bowler and this shows that he does not have much first-class experience. He was giving more than one boundary ball. There was no control there and that is never a good sign in Test cricket. He further said that India missed Mohammed Shami, who has been ruled out of the series due to an ankle injury. He further named Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who worked brilliantly as the second or third seamer. Karthik further said, “In the last few years, India has prided itself on how good its bowling attack has been. But you can see that without Mohammed Shami, this Indian attack is not what it used to be. Before this, we had Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar. “They gave us the least continuity and that was largely lacking today.” Also read: What is the complete schedule of Team India for the next three months, know in one click

After the end of the first Test match, former Indian team player S Badrinath has raised questions on the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. According to S Badrinath, Virat Kohli should captain the Indian team in Test cricket. According to him, Rohit Sharma’s record outside India is quite useless and he has also questioned his place in the playing XI. S Badrinath said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Virat Kohli has scored more than 5000 runs in 68 Test matches as captain and has won 40 of them while he has had to face defeat in 17 matches. He also captained very well in the series against Australia and played an important role in his team’s victory. Why is Virat Kohli not the captain of the Test team? Virat is a better batsman than Rohit in Tests. After all, why has a weak player been given the captaincy of the team in his place? Even though Rohit Sharma is a big player and has scored a lot of runs, he still has to prove himself as an opener outside India. So why is he there? The second and final Test match between South Africa and India starts from January 3. Let us tell you, the second and final Test match between South Africa and India is starting from January 3 in Cape Town. In the first test match, the bowlers of the Indian team were not able to bowl well and this was the reason why they had to face defeat.

Rohit Sharma was not able to bat well in the first test match but now he will have to bat well in the second match and make his team win.

“He must have learned a lot by having players like Rohit Sharma….”- Former English captain said about Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill (Pic Source-TWITTER) Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain was recently asked to choose the young cricketers whom he considers to be the future superstars of the game. The former England captain immediately picked India’s Shubman Gill and New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra and explained why these two players can rule the cricket world in the future. However, Nasir Hussain also believes that Gill would have learned a lot by batting with Indian captain Rohit Sharma, calling the young player a super talent and a big star for the future of Team India. Nasir Hussain praised Shubman Gill fiercely In the video shared by ICC, Nasir Hussain said, “I am going with Shubman Gill. I think three-quarters, nine-tenths of them in 2023 were very good. Having players like Rohit Sharma at the other end, he must have learned a lot. Maybe, in the end, that illness bothered him a bit and his form deteriorated. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India in the coming years. Hopefully 2024 will be good for him.” Furthermore, Hussain lauded the performance of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who impressed everyone with his performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers of the competition. Hussain expressed hope that Ravindra will continue his excellent performance in future also. Hussain said, “And the man who lit up the World Cup was Rachin Ravindra. Before going to the World Cup, I saw him for a while in England. He came in lower down the order at Lord’s and created a stir all around. I thought, he can play. When he was given a chance in the top order, he performed brilliantly there. Hopefully, he will continue his form.” Also read: What is Hardik Pandya proving by posting the video with his son?

Don’t read too much into Rahul’s removal as vice-captain: Rohit – DTVHINDI
Looking into the future: Captain Rohit Sharma says India is a very likely candidate for the WTC final and should prepare with that in mind. | Photo Credit: R.V. Moorthy Rohit Sharma is looking beyond the ongoing Test series. The India captain said on Tuesday that if India won the Test here to take a winning 3-0 lead in the series, the fourth Test at Ahmedabad could be played on a green, seamer-friendly track to prepare the team for the final of the World Test Championship to be played in England. Looking ahead Rohit said, “There is definitely a possibility of that. We have already spoken about it. We need to get the guys ready for it. The important one is Shardul Thakur, because he comes into the planning for us. If we play Australia in England, it will be a different ball game for both the teams.” Rohit said, “After the last WTC cycle, the way we played in certain conditions has been remarkable. Home conditions too have been challenging.” Rohit said his team needed the break after the two Tests. “Coming back, we feel refreshed.” On the out-of-form K.L. Rahul’s removal as vice-captain, Rohit said, “Players who are going through a tough time, given their potential, will be given enough time to prove themselves. Being vice-captain or otherwise doesn’t tell you anything.” Rohit, who revealed he liked naming the eleven at the toss, was pleased with India’s batting depth that gave a cushion to the side’s top and middle-order. On playing on these pitches, Rohit said, “I played 200 balls in Nagpur and never felt settled. One ball grips or keeps low and you are out. What happened to the Australians [losing wickets in clusters] can happen to us too.” He added, “We cannot take things lightly. We got to keep the discipline going.” Hustling the Aussies Rohit was all praise for R. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, even as the Aussies have talked about attempting to slow the game down. “We have hustled them, not given them time to think. Jadeja is so quickly back to his mark that sometimes I too have problems moving a fielder before the next ball is bowled.” Rohit and the Indians have been on the ball.
