Nair has told that when Chakraborty was first selected in the Indian cricket team, what did the Indian selectors say to him. It is worth noting that Chakraborty took the most wickets for KKR in the recently concluded season of IPL, and played an important role in making the team champion for the third time. Apart from this, he has also played T20 World Cup 2021 for the Indian team. Here he bowled a total of 11 overs in three matches and did not take any wicket. Abhishek Nair made a big revelation Let us tell you that Abhishek Nayar has made a big revelation about Varun Chakravarthy on The Ranveer Show podcast. On this show, Nayar said- Varun Chakravarthy performs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy every year, and I remember that when he was selected in the Indian team, the Indian selectors told him that you have to improve your batting, then you can make a place in the team, you can remain in the team by improving your fielding. Nair further said- He had the same mindset, so this time he scored some runs in Vijay Hazare and sent me a video saying that I hit two sixes and scored 40 runs. Therefore, a player starts thinking about his game and what he needs. He improved his fielding, and worked on a few other things because he knows he needs it. You have to improve all three things (fielding, batting and bowling) to stay in the team, you can’t survive on just one thing.

Because of this Rinku Singh was not selected Let us tell you that in a promotional event of the Indian cricket team jersey, RP Singh said as quoted by India Today- Rinku Singh should have definitely been in the T20 World Cup team, I think his not being selected was a bit unfortunate.

Many were surprised to see this, because Rinku Singh, who had been performing consistently, did not get a place in the 15-member team. Rinku Singh has been added to the squad as a reserve player. Fans and cricket experts criticized this a lot and said that there was a place for Rinku Singh in the team. In this series, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has raised questions on the BCCI selectors for excluding Rinku. Recently Danish Kaneria said that Rinku should have been a part of the team. He believes that Hardik Pandya of Mumbai Indians (MI) should have been out and that is because his form in the current IPL is very poor. Dubey and Rinku would have been a powerful combination for India – Danish Kaneria Kaneria told in an interview with Sports Now, if I look at the current IPL performance, Hardik Pandya should have been out. He has not shown consistency. As far as Rinku is concerned, I also think that she should have been a part of India’s T20 World Cup team. He further said that you already have Shivam Dubey, who is performing well for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Overall the team is looking good, but Dubey and Rinku would have been a powerful combination for India in the lower order. Both Hardik and Rinku have flopped in IPL 2024. Talking about Hardik Pandya’s recent IPL performance, it has not been that good. He has scored only 198 runs in 11 matches at an average of 19.80.
