“This seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Rohit’s captaincy
Team India has made three changes in the playing XI for the Pune Test match against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: The Indian team is currently playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand. The second test match of the series is being played at Pune MCA Stadium. Three changes have been made in the playing 11 for this match. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma have entered the second test with a new team combination. The problems of the Indian team have increased after losing the first test of the three-match series against New Zealand. Keeping this in mind, Rohit has given a chance to Akash Deep, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar in the playing 11 of the Pune Test match, while Mohammad Siraj, KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav have been kept on the bench. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also raised a valid question regarding this. When Shubman Gill returned to the playing XI fit, KL Rahul was dropped to make his place in the team. While Kuldeep Yadav, who did not do anything special in Bengaluru, Washington Sundar was brought in his place in the team, while Mohammad Siraj also did not look in that rhythm in Bengaluru and Akashdeep has been entered in his place in the playing XI. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding the changes in Team India Regarding this change, former legend Sunil Gavaskar believes that for the second Test against New Zealand, India might have nervously included Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven. Gavaskar told the match broadcasters after the toss on Thursday, “It seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team. “You don’t often make three changes in a team.” Gavaskar said, “Unless there is an injury concern, I don’t see many teams making three changes. The inclusion of Washington Sundar shows that they are worried about their batting. More than bowling, they need his batting lower down the order.” He said, ‘Yes, there is a lot of discussion about left-handed batsmen in New Zealand’s batting unit, but I would choose Kuldeep Yadav because his ball moves outside off for left-handed batsmen.
“I can confirm that there is news”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rohit’s absence in the upcoming BGT.
India will face Australia in a five-match Test series, with the first match starting on November 22 in Perth. Meanwhile, if some media reports are to be believed, Rohit may not be available for the first or second test due to personal reasons. In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, the former India opener confirmed the unofficial news. Aakash Chopra said in his video, “This will affect our emotions a bit. There is news about Rohit Sharma. It doesn’t come from official sources but I can confirm that the news is there. The news is that he may miss a match. This could be the first test or it could also be the second test. Since it is due to personal reasons, it is also being said that he may be available for the entire series.” Let us tell you that in the last Australia series, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not play some matches and Chopra has given his side on this issue. He said that Rohit’s possible absence for the Test this time would be a big blow for India. The former batsman further said, “He was injured last time and came straight to play the Sydney Test. He was not available in Adelaide and did not play the Melbourne Test. Virat Kohli played the pink-ball Test and was unavailable for the next three Test matches. Here too, Rohit Sharma will not be available for one of the first two Tests and Rohit’s absence will be a big blow to the team.

IND vs BAN: Umpire’s decision, Virat’s refusal to take DRS and Rohit’s reaction, amazing drama happened in Chepauk
Kohli got out after scoring 17 runs India vs Bangladesh, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) The first test match is currently being played between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) in Chennai. So today on 20 September, the second day of the game is going on. But today on the day of the match, after Virat Kohli was out LBW, the reactions of Rohit and fans are becoming increasingly viral on social media. It is worth noting that today after restricting Bangladesh to 149 runs in the first innings, India started batting in the second innings. So after Rohit and Jaiswal were out, Virat Kohli came to the field to bat. So in the 20th over of the innings, Mehdi Hasan bowls a ball to Virat, which he defends, but on the bowler’s appeal, the umpire gives Kohli out LBW. However, Kohli does not use DRS during this time, because non-striker Gill said that the line of the ball was correct. But when the replay was seen, the ball had a slight edge. If Kohli had taken DRS, he might have been saved. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma looked quite surprised after seeing this replay and his reaction went viral.

No Bangladeshi player could play well against the Indian bowlers. Experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was the top scorer for the team in the first innings by scoring 32 runs. While five players of the team could not even reach the double digit score. Shadman Islam 2, Zakir Hasan 3, Captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto 20, Mominul Haque 0 and Mushfiqur Rahim got out cheaply after scoring 8 runs. On the other hand, the Indian team bowled brilliantly in the match. The Indian bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals, due to which Bangladesh could not score big in the first innings.
Jaiswal increased Rohit’s tension, struggled against the fast bowler in the nets, had a long conversation with Virat
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled against the pacers in the nets on Sunday, September 15, ahead of the start of India’s first Test against Bangladesh. The Test match will be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal struggling in the nets, former captain Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir had a word with the youngster to help him regain his confidence. Let us tell you that Jaiswal failed to make an impact in the first class match in the current season as well. In the Duleep Trophy match, he returned to the pavilion cheaply on the balls of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. Before the match against Bangladesh in Chennai, Jaiswal practiced a lot against Bumrah. However, he looked troubled against net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh along with Bumrah. The ball took the outside edge of his bat many times. Yashasvi Jaiswal got bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the nets According to a report in the Indian Express, Kohli was standing near the centre-square of the MA Chidambaram Stadium waiting for his turn to bat, where this incident took place. During this time, Jasprit Bumrah bowled Jaiswal by uprooting his middle stump in the nets. The ball hit the stump between Jaiswal’s bat and pad. After this, Jaiswal was seen talking to Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.
