Sanjay Manjrekar said something special about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy Cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, This is the legacy that Rohit Sharma will leave behind as captain. He thinks so. A strong team, one of the top-2 teams in the world, showed a champion approach, realizing that a lot of time had been wasted. And he leads by example, just like he did in the 50-over World Cup. So, this is what Rohit Sharma will leave as his contribution to Indian cricket. He was happy to put his wicket at stake- Manjrekar Indian captain Rohit Sharma put the team above himself, he was ready to put his wicket at stake to score quick runs. Sanjay Manjrekar is very happy with Rohit Sharma’s approach. You just do something for the team and play to win. He does not face any problem in this process, like in the 50 over World Cup… he did not score a big century. Even here, he was happy to put his wicket on the line and suddenly we have a Test match that India can win. You have to appreciate Rohit Sharma for this.

So in this match, captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl after winning the toss was heavily criticized in the cricket world. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar has asked some questions through social media regarding Rohit’s decision to bowl after winning the toss. Manjrekar says that he doesn’t know why Rohit did not use Ravindra Jadeja against left-handed batsmen. Sanjay Manjrekar asked Rohit Sharma this question Let us tell you that Sanjay Manjrekar wrote in a post from his official X account – Rohit will have to show these figures. Jadeja vs Cook 2016 series, got him out 6 times in 8 innings, giving just 75 runs. When there is a left-handed batsman, Rohit does not make Jadeja bowl quickly. See this post of Sanjay Manjrekar So, in the post match presentation with ESPN Cricinfo after the stumps of the second day of the Kanpur Test match, Manjrekar said – Every captain has a vision keeping in mind the bowlers he has. There is nothing wrong in this, because captains trust some bowlers more. I have noticed, especially not in this series, when it comes to spin, Rohit likes Ashwin a bit more. On the other hand, if we give information about the ongoing second Test match at Green Park Stadium, today on 28th September, due to rain, the second day’s play could not even start. At stumps on the first day, after 35 overs, Bangladesh have scored 107 runs in the first innings.

After seeing his achievement, former Indian great batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has praised him a lot. It is due to Bumrah’s four-wicket haul that India achieved this milestone. India managed to gain a strong position in this match. Sanjay Manjrekar praised Jasprit Bumrah Meanwhile, speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar spoke about Bumrah’s all-round abilities and sharp cricketing mind. He said, “We all know about his variations, his thinking – one of the fastest thinking fast bowlers. We also saw some letdown in the way he bowled to Taskin (Ahmed). But one thing that came out today was that he is a bowler who has no weaknesses – whatever the opposition, the condition of the pitch, and that is really the best way to test his greatness.” Let us tell you that Bumrah completed his 400th wicket by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim in the first innings. With this, he is the sixth Indian fast bowler and the 10th Indian bowler overall to achieve this feat. Jasprit Bumrah has played 196 matches in his career In his career, Bumrah has played 196 international matches, taking 401 wickets at an average of 21.01. He has taken 163 wickets in 37 Tests, 149 wickets in 89 ODIs and 89 wickets in 70 T20Is. At the age of 30, Bumrah is one of the greatest bowlers of India, along with legends like Anil Kumble, Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh. He has always performed well for Indian cricket with consistency. This is why he is counted among the greatest bowlers in the world today. However, other bowlers along with Bumrah also bowled well in the Chennai Test and due to this, Team India was successful in getting Bangladesh all out for 149 runs in the first innings.
IND vs BAN: KL Rahul’s form is declining, Sanjay Manjrekar put forth his point

KL Rahul (Pic Source-X) The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh has started in Chennai. In the first innings of this first Test match, KL Rahul from the Indian team failed to bat well and was out after scoring 16 runs. KL Rahul’s wicket was taken by Mehdi Hasan Miraz in the first innings. For some time now, KL Rahul has failed to score big in international cricket. Former player Sanjay Manjrekar has given his opinion on his form. According to Sanjay Manjrekar, KL Rahul has a bit of difficulty in batting even when the match is in his favor. Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo, ‘This has been the story of KL Rahul. It is a good thing that he has always played very good innings at the Test level, but this has not been seen in the last few matches. His innings was also very bad in the match being played against Bangladesh. This was seen with me too in the second phase of my career when everything was going well. KL Rahul has scored many great centuries but at an average of 34. He has scored not one or two but many centuries and that too in difficult situations but the average of 34 describes his game and the same has been seen today as well. Ravichandran Ashwin scored a more important century for the Indian team Ravichandran Ashwin batted brilliantly for India and scored 113 runs in the first innings. He did not spare any bowler of Bangladesh and continuously attacked everyone. Apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja scored 86 runs while Rishabh Pant contributed 39 runs. Team India has scored 376 runs after losing all wickets in its first innings. Hasan Mahmud took 5 wickets for Bangladesh while Taskin Ahmed took three wickets.

“How easily India leave Kuldeep Yadav out” : Sanjay Manjrekar
Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar is surprised by Rohit Sharma’s decision to leave out spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Sanjay Manjrekar and Kuldeep Yadav. (Image Source: Twitter/Getty Images) The first match of the 2-match Test series between India and Bangladesh has started on September 19. Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar is surprised by Rohit Sharma’s decision to leave out spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the first Test against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Let us tell you that the Indian team has opted for a combination of three fast bowlers and two spinners for the first Test match in which Kuldeep is not there. The pitch and conditions usually demand three spinners. Always two experienced spinners – Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja retain their place, while either Kuldeep Yadav or Axar Patel plays as the third spinner. However, this time Team India did not prefer any secondary spinner as right-arm fast bowler Akash Deep has found a place in the team. Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his displeasure “It’s amazing how easily India leave Kuldeep Yadav out,” wrote Sanjay Manjrekar. Find it amazing how easily India drops a Kuldeep Yadav.#INDvBAN — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) September 19, 2024 Kuldeep Yadav has been in and out of the Test team since his debut in 2017. After being dropped from the playing XI despite taking eight wickets in the series opener against Bangladesh in 2022, the spinner returned to the team for the home series against England in early 2024. He played four consecutive matches and took 19 wickets in the series and also gave some useful performances in the lower order, due to which he can be considered a favorite over Axar Patel in terms of selection. “If Bangladesh bowls good spin, it will be a little difficult for India to beat them” – Sanjay Manjrekar “In Indian conditions you can’t make a green pitch that is seam friendly. Indian batting has also had a bit of trouble on turning pitches and with three spinners, if Bangladesh bowl well India might find it a bit difficult to beat them,” Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo ahead of the first Test.
“We have got a lot of rest…”, Sanjay Manjrekar got angry on Rohit, Virat and Bumrah being given rest from Duleep Trophy
I see them as Indian players who have been rested, they could have been selected for the Duleep Trophy- Sanjay Manjrekar Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma and Sanja Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Duleep Trophy 2024 is starting from 5th September. All the big stars are going to be seen playing in the tournament except Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Initially there were reports that these three players would be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy, as the BCCI has already warned that if the national team players are free then they will have to participate in domestic cricket. But many great players are surprised that the selectors did not select Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Bumrah for the Duleep Trophy. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has also expressed his displeasure over the players being given rest. Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted this Sanjay Manjrekar said on social media that India has played 249 international matches in the last five years. However, Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah have played only 59%, 61% and 34% of these matches respectively. Manjrekar believes that all three players have got enough rest. In such a situation, all three should have been selected for the Duleep Trophy. India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of them. Virat has played 61% and Bumrah has played 34%. I see them as India players who have been rested, they could have been selected for the Duleep Trophy. India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of those. Virat 61% & Bumrah 34%. I see them as well rested India players. Could have been selected for the Duleep trophy. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) August 28, 2024 Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were last seen playing in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Now both the players will be seen playing directly in the Test series against Bangladesh, which will start from September 19. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah is on a long break after the T20 World Cup 2024. He will return directly from the series against New Zealand. Ravindra Jadeja released by BCCI On August 27, the BCCI announced some changes in the teams for the first round of the Duleep Trophy. The board has released Ravindra Jadeja from the squad, the reason for which has not been given. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik have been ruled out of the first round due to illness. After the exclusion of both the players, Navdeep Saini and Gaurav Yadav have got a place in the squad.
“If Rohit Sharma comes in the auction then…”- Sanjay Bangar reveals PBKS’ master plan for IPL 2025
The performance of Punjab Kings in IPL has been very poor for the last few seasons. Sanjay Bangar (Photo Source: Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has prepared his team’s strategy for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction. If Mumbai Indians decide to release Rohit Sharma, then he has a plan ready for that as well. Bangar believes that Rohit will be in great demand and if he comes in the auction, he will get a good price. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to build a good team through the mega-auction. Also, the team needs an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma comes into the auction pool, then Punjab Kings will want to buy him at any cost. Punjab Kings have not got much success in IPL so far. In such a situation, the team is eyeing to build a strong team for the upcoming season. Sanjay Bangar gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma In a recent podcast, Sanjay Bangar was asked what Punjab Kings’ plans are if Mumbai Indians release Rohit Sharma. Bangar replied that their decision will depend on the amount of money they have available at the time of the auction. He also stressed that Rohit Sharma could be bought at a “very high price” if he is available. When Bangar was asked about Rohit Sharma on the RAO Podcast YouTube channel, he said, ‘It all depends on whether we have money in our pockets or not. If Rohit comes in the auction, I am sure he will be bought at a high price.’ Let us tell you, Mumbai Indians won the title a record 5 times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, however despite this, the MI management handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma before IPL 2024. However, his decision proved wrong and the team was the first to be out of the playoff race.
Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as India Test captain: Sanjay Bangar
According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for some more time in Tests. Virat Kohli Test (Image Credit- Twitter) Indian team’s experienced batsman Virat Kohli is considered one of the best players in the world. Virat Kohli’s performance in international cricket has always been tremendous. Not only this, Kohli has also left his mark as a captain. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India won the series in Australia. Not only this, India also won the Lord’s Test played in 2021. However, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team has not won a single ICC trophy. According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for a little longer in Tests. Let us tell you, in September 2021, Virat Kohli resigned from the post of captaincy of T20. Not only this, shortly after this, he withdrew his name from the post of captaincy of all formats of India. Speaking on The Rao Podcast, Sanjay Bangar said, ‘My personal belief is that Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as Test captain. He should have captained India in a few more Test matches. I believe he had taken a decision on this matter long ago.’ The decision was not discussed in the right way: Virat Kohli Virat Kohli captained the Indian team in 68 Tests, out of which the team won 40 and their winning percentage was 58.82. Not only this, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian fast bowlers also bowled lethally and maintained their pressure on the batsmen of the opposing team. Under his captaincy, the team confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2021. In 2022, Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI and he had said that the board had appealed to Kohli to captain the T20 team. He also said that Kohli had rejected this appeal and the selectors are not fully ready for two different captains for white ball cricket. However, later Virat Kohli made a big revelation about this. Virat Kohli had said, ‘Whatever was told that we had taken this decision together was not correct. When I decided to step down from the captaincy of the T20 team, I first went to the BCCI. I told them the reason behind it. I was not told at all that I have to step down from the post of T20 captaincy. I was completely sure about this. At that time I had also said that I can also captain the ODI and Test team, but the officials felt that I cannot take this responsibility. I had told my side and left the decision to them.’ Pakistan’s luck is bad, they have not won a Test match for 1294 days These 5 Indian cricketers are addicted to alcohol Shikhar Dhawan did this trick to win the ‘Golden Bat’ 5 big records of Shikhar Dhawan, in this case he is ahead of Kohli Shaheen Afridi became a father, his wife gave birth to…
“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.
