You can keep 15 players happy, but you still only have 11 players happy. The four players sitting on the bench still ask why they are not playing.

Abhishek Sharma wants to be like Yuvraj Singh, said- Whatever I had to do right in batting, Yuvi Paaji did it.
Sharma scored 485 runs in 10 matches at a tremendous strike rate of 192.46 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Abhishek Sharma And Yuvraj Singh (Image Credit- Instagram) Sunrisers Hyderabad surprised many fans by deciding to retain Abhishek Sharma ahead of the mega auction in 2022. However, the young player has won the trust of his team by performing well in the last few seasons of the Indian Premier League. Recently, he played a big role in Punjab’s first win in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Sharma scored 485 runs in ten matches at a tremendous strike rate of 192.46. Despite this, he has not got a place in Team India yet. The opening batsman made his debut in first class cricket along with Shubman Gill. Shubhman has now become an all-format player for Team India, while Abhishek is still yet to make a mark in the scheme of things. In such a situation, the upcoming edition of IPL will be very important for them. If he scores runs with the bat in the upcoming IPL season, then he can be included in the national team in place of any senior cricketer after the T20 World Cup. Abhishek Sharma gave a big statement regarding Yuvraj Singh Meanwhile, talking about his batting technique, Sharma said that he likes to hit shots on bad balls, no matter which format he is playing. The 23-year-old said that his idol Yuvraj Singh made slight technical adjustments to his batting and said that he wanted to be like him. Abhishek Sharma was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, “The basic things are the same. In T20 you try to score runs on every ball whereas in other formats you have extra time. But I have a simple philosophy. It doesn’t matter what the format is, if a ball is there to hit, I will hit it. Whatever technical adjustments I needed were done by Yuvi Paaji.” He further said, “When I started playing cricket, he was my idol. I always wanted to be like him. I first met him in the Punjab team. Maybe he saw something in me. He always guides me. He really supports me. Whenever I am out on a low score, he always talks to me. He is always confident about my next match. After talking to me, I get a lot of encouragement. “Even off the field, no one can give better guidance than Yuvraj Singh.” Also read: Seeing Rishabh Pant’s happiness after meeting Rohit Sharma
Jitesh Sharma or Sanju Samson? Who will get the T20 World Cup ticket, Aakash Chopra told
Jitesh Sharma has scored 31 runs in the series so far. Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma will get a chance before Sanju Samson in the third T20 match against Afghanistan in Bengaluru. Jitesh Sharma had a brilliant performance in the first T20I, scoring 31 runs in 20 balls in Mohali, but failed to open his account in Indore. Before the upcoming T20 World Cup, this will be India’s last match in the shortest format and with that, the team management can try a few things in this match. However, Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma should get more chances in the final playing XI as he is yet to cement his place. He also said that Samson will not be judged for just one match and pointed out that the cricketer always finds himself in a difficult situation. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that the question is whether you should keep Jitesh or Sanju at number 6. If Jitesh had completely confirmed his place, if there was no question mark before Jitesh’s name, he would definitely be going to the World Cup, you could have thought about Sanju. However, there is no confirmation yet regarding Jitesh. The former opening batsman further said, “There is another side to this also. Suppose you give Sanju a chance, will you test him in a match? This is wrong. Whoever you try, give him at least three chances. This has happened with Sanju throughout his career.” Rohit and Kohli are certain to play third T20 match: Chopra India captain Rohit Sharma failed to open his account in the first two T20Is of the series. On the other hand, Virat Kohli missed the first T20 match and played the second match, but could not take advantage of his good start. Thus, Chopra expects both the cricketers to be included in the playing XI for the third T20I against Afghanistan. Chopra said, “Rohit has not scored any runs, so he will have to play. Virat Kohli has played only one match so far, so he will have to play. Yashasvi has also played only one match, so he will also have to play.” Also read: Virat will go to Ayodhya to attend the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 22
I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma- Shikhar Dhawan
I think our best innings was the 193-run opening partnership against Australia in the 4th ODI in Mohali in 2019 – Shikhar Dhawan Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. (Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) Experienced cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has been out of Team India for a long time. At present, Shubman Gill is considered ahead of him in white ball cricket. Along with Rohit Sharma, the pair formed one of the most dangerous opening partnerships in ODI cricket and together they have broken many records in the past. The pair of Dhawan and Rohit are the fourth pair in ODI history to cross the 5000-run mark as openers. Earlier, this feat was achieved in ODI cricket by the pair of Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly, Adam Gilchrist-Matthew Hayden and Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes. Speaking about their friendship, the left-handed batsman credited Rohit for his success in international cricket. He said that their partnership gave Team India the foundation to chase bigger targets in the past. Shikhar Dhawan praised Rohit Sharma fiercely While talking to Times of India, Shikhar Dhawan said, ‘I have got a lot of support in opening the innings with Rohit Sharma. When you get better support, the team definitely gets a good start. With this you can easily chase the runs or make a big score. I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma.” He further said, “Rohit at the other end gives a sense of comfort and assurance. I think our best innings was a 193-run partnership against Australia in the fourth ODI in Mohali in 2019 and the second best innings would be against Pakistan in the 2018 Asia Cup in Dubai where we had a partnership of 210 runs for the first wicket.” Dhawan now plays only in the Indian Premier League and has performed well for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the last few editions. Despite this, he is not able to make a comeback in Team India. India’s doors may be closed for him as priority will be given to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill but if they perform well with the bat in the upcoming IPL, then things may be different in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that in the last edition of IPL, it was ranked eighth. They will be aiming to improve in IPL 2024 and with that aim, the franchise had bought some other players in the auction including Harshal Patel, Riley Rousseau and Chris Woakes.

Let us tell you that in this match, the Indian team won by 6 wickets on the basis of excellent batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey. So for captain Rohit Sharma, this match proved to be as bad as the first match. In this second match, Rohit was clean bowled for a golden duck on a ball thrown by Fazalhaq Farooqui.

There was a return as captain, but he was run out in the first match and today he was clean bowled while trying to hit a shot. But the Indian team performed well. Also, let us tell you that this is Rohit’s 5th duck in T20 International format and second duck as captain. Whereas this is Rohit’s 12th duck in this format.

Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma from now on – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, analyzing his return to T20I cricket, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Kohli should partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He believes that Virat has a great template and it takes some time for him to settle down. In such a situation, he advised that if Kohli bats in the powerplay, he will get a good opportunity to make a fast start, which will benefit the team. Virat Kohli should follow his set template- Aakash Chopra In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, if you look at the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a style of playing and when he follows that template he scores a lot of runs. Even in T20, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to score runs at a strike rate of 150, he does so in the powerplay. The 46-year-old former cricketer further said, “In New York or West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of scoring runs in the first six overs. So ideally you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start doing it now.” Chopra spoke openly about the complexity of the Indian batting unit at this time. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the side, it is unclear which path the team management will take. If Virat is asked to bat at number three and either Jaiswal or Gill opens, it will force Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number four.

Rinku Singh said, ‘It has become my habit to bat at number 6 and finish the match. I am very happy with my work. It was very cold in Mohali and fielding was very difficult here. I told myself to bat at number 6 and I didn’t even have a chance to play much ball, so I wanted to score as many runs as possible. I have also talked to Dhoni bhai and he has said to play after seeing the ball. There is no need to rush, just keep your mind calm.

When Rohit Sharma comes as captain, two things suddenly change – statement of the former opener
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy for including bowling options in the top six and using them effectively in the first T20I between India and Afghanistan. Team India restricted Afghanistan to 158/5 after being invited to bat first in Mohali on Thursday, January 11. The hosts chased a small target with six wickets and 15 balls remaining and started the three-match T20 series with a win. Aakash Chopra admired Rohit Sharma’s captaincy In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra expressed his surprise at India’s decision to field three spinners in the playing XI. However, he also praised Rohit for bringing a different approach to captaincy. They said that, “India kept three spinners in the team. I was a bit surprised because there were only two fast bowlers and Shivam Dubey was with them. However, when Rohit Sharma comes as captain, suddenly two things change.” The former India opener said that the experienced captain included Shivam Dubey as an all-rounder in the lineup and also used him effectively. Chopra said that, “First of all, the Indian team plays with an XI which has a bowler in the top six and that bowler also gets a chance to bowl. That was fantastic. As soon as one wicket fell, he gave the next over to Shivam Dubey.” Chopra said that this move ensured that Rohit has plenty of bowling options available for the death overs. He further said that, “Shivam Dubey dismissed Ibrahim Zadran in that over. He was then stopped and later brought in from the other end so that he could get another over. When they did that, it made sure there were a lot of options available at the end.” Also read: Suresh Raina does not want to see Virat opening in T20
