DTVHINDI‘Let him fail first’ Sourav Ganguly on inclusion of young Sarfaraz in the Indian team during BGT
BGT series starting from 22nd November Sourav Ganguly and Sarfaraz Khan (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has recently said that passing judgment on the batting ability of young Sarfaraz Khan without giving him a chance abroad is no less than an injustice against the young player. Ganguly also said that critics should make some assumptions after his performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. It is noteworthy that the 27-year-old player, after a record breaking performance in domestic cricket, made a brilliant debut against England at the beginning of the year. Recently, in the Bengaluru Test match against New Zealand, Sarfaraz scored a debut century, but in the two matches that followed, he could not show anything special. Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement On the other hand, now before the start of BGT, the former captain while talking to RevSportz about Sarfaraz Khan said – You have to give a chance to know him, how can you say anything without giving him a chance? First let him fail, he has scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket and has made his place in the team, no one has given him a chance. Ganguly further said- So, do not dismiss him without giving him a chance, once you do, you will be in a position to assess him. I am very clear, you should give him a chance to know how good or bad he is, without doing so, do not make any judgment about him. On the other hand, if we tell you about the BGT series, Team India is the defending champion of the trophy. The series will start with the first Test match to be held in Perth on 22 November. However, due to personal reasons, Rohit will not be able to play in the first Test match. It will be worth seeing that in the middle order, whom among Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel does the management give a chance in the playing eleven?

Before the start of BGT, Navjot Singh Sidhu gave big suggestions to Indian batsmen to deal with spin.
Navjot Singh Sidhu gave such suggestions to counter spin- Rohit Sharma & Navjot Singh Sidhu (Photo Source: The performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Test series against New Zealand was quite disappointing. The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. India’s batting line-up faltered badly on the spinning pitches of Pune and Mumbai and the team scored 156,245, 263 and 121. Meanwhile, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has revealed some techniques to help Indian players improve their game. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave these suggestions to counter spin Navjot Singh Sidhu’s old advice regarding playing spin has resurfaced, which is going viral on social media. He further added to this with a four-point “playbook” for the Indian batsmen while tweeting on social media on November 6. Navjot Singh Sidhu first advised to “move forward often to confuse the spinner’s mind, it will force him to guess”. He suggests that by moving forward on the pitch, batsmen can disrupt the bowler’s rhythm and foil his plans. His second point is “Point of No Return” – the point of the bowler’s delivery. “Make sure you move when it is at the point of no return (point of delivery). “It comes from instinct and hours of practice.” Playing spin on turning tracks – 1 stepping out often to the spinner to clutter his mind, keep him guessing…. 2 ensure that you step out when he is at a point of no return (point of delivery), it comes with instinct and hours of practice 3 watch his wrist like a hawk till the… — Navjot Singh Sidhu (@sherryontopp) November 6, 2024 Sidhu then continued his suggestion by asking the batsmen to look closely at their hands before throwing the ball. “Keep an eye on your wrist like a hawk till the end to code the delivery,” he said, adding that this will help batsmen understand which way the ball will turn and adjust their reaction accordingly. Lastly, Sidhu advised to have a little forward movement so that both front foot and back foot are ready to explore the shot. “A small initial forward movement allows you to adjust to playing the ball late and moving back and forth,” he explained, adding that committing too early can put the batsman in a precarious position. “Swoop or commit, and you are at the mercy of the bowler – like a dying duck in a storm,” he warned.
