Due to the possibility of the birth of a child, Rohit Sharma did not go to Australia with Team India. Now after the birth of the son, according to reports, Rohit will not be available for the Perth Test, as he will stay with the family. Meanwhile, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly wants Rohit Sharma to leave for the Perth Test as soon as possible. Ahead of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, Ganguly said he wants India’s Test captain to play the opening matches in Perth as the team needs leadership. Opening batsman can go to Australia- Sourav Ganguly Speaking to RevSportz, Ganguly said that Ritika has given birth to their child, so the opener can now travel to Australia and get in form ahead of the first Test. I hope Rohit Sharma leaves soon because the team needs leadership. His wife gave birth last night, so I’m sure he can go. He can go as soon as possible. If I were in his place, I should play the Perth Test. Ganguly said that the match is still a week away. Because this is a big series, he will not go to Australia after this. He is a brilliant captain. India needs his leadership for a start. Shubman Gill out of first test Team India has suffered a big setback before the Perth Test.

Ravi Shastri selected Team India’s playing XI for Perth Test, Easwaran was not given place, one name is shocking
The first Test between India and Australia will be played from 22nd November. Ravi Shastri And Team India (Photo Source: Twitter) The 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series to be played between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Before the start of this series, the biggest tension for Team India is who will they give a chance in the playing XI. Regular captain Rohit Sharma has become a father for the second time and it seems a bit difficult for him to play in the Perth Test. In such a situation, the biggest question is who will open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of Rohit Sharma. Apart from this, the team management will also have to think a lot about what will be the bowling attack of India against Australia. Meanwhile, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has selected the playing XI, after seeing which the task of the Indian team management has become easier to some extent. Team India’s playing XI for Perth test match Under the coaching of Ravi Shastri, India had defeated Australia at home in the last two Border Gavaskar Trophies. In such a situation, his Gurumantra can be useful for Team India. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, India has the option of two opening batsmen in the form of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran. But Ravi Shastri believes that India should start the innings by promoting Shubman Gill in place of these two. This year, Gill had decided to leave his opening slot and bat at number 3, but now Team India needs him in the opening. Shastri has selected Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers in his playing XI for the Perth Test, while he has given place to KL Rahul at number-3. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel will be seen handling the responsibility of the middle order along with Virat Kohli. Jurel scored half-centuries in both innings of the last unofficial Test against Australia A. Apart from this, if we talk about bowling options, the former Indian coach has advised India to go with one spinner and four bowlers. Shastri believes that either Ravindra Jadeja or Washington Sundar should play in the Perth Test along with Jasprit Bumrah, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Reddy. Ravi Shastri’s playing XI for Perth Test– Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja/Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
The host is the culprit behind India’s Champion Trophy 2025 tour to Pakistan, former player gives shocking statement
The former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Team India will not tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 and this decision has been taken by the Indian government. According to Aakash Chopra, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has no role in this. Not only this, the former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Let us tell you that Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in February next year. According to the report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made it clear to the International Cricket Council that they will not tour Pakistan to participate in the upcoming event. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It has been decided that Team India will not go to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament and this is not the decision of BCCI. I want to make it clear that when it comes to Pakistan, the Indian cricket team does not decide when and where to go. It is fine for other places. However, when it comes to Pakistan, all decisions are taken by the Indian government, not the BCCI. Pakistan itself is to blame for this: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘The Indian government has decided that he will not go there. In a way, Pakistan itself is responsible for this. Just yesterday I was watching a news that there was a bomb blast in Quetta railway station. Whenever we talk about India, Pakistan comes into it, especially when the issue of Kashmir is concerned. Pakistan has completely refused the hybrid model of Championship 2025. They want that this entire tournament should be organized in Pakistan only and India does not want to tour there for this event. This is the truth and now it will be exciting to see how this tournament is organized.

South Africa series will be do or die for Abhishek Sharma, former cricketer gave a shocking statement
Abhishek Sharma will open the innings with Sanju Samson in the South Africa series. ABHISHEK SHARMA (Image Credit- Twitter X) After his brilliant performance in IPL 2024, the doors of the Indian team opened for Abhishek Sharma and he made his debut in the Zimbabwe series. After this Abhishek did not look back. So far this young player has played 8 T20I matches and scored 159 runs. He played some good innings in the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup, but not such that he could not come into the limelight. It is noteworthy that due to Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be able to play in the T20 series against South Africa. Therefore, in his absence, Abhishek Sharma will open the innings with Sanju Samson. Meanwhile, while talking about the team combination, Aakash Chopra said that Abhishek Sharma is still yet to make his mark in international cricket. He also says that the upcoming series against South Africa could prove to be “do or die” for Abhishek Sharma, as Jaiswal and Gill will be available for the next T20 series against England. In such a situation, if he fails against South Africa, he will be out of the team. It’s do or die time for Abhishek Sharma – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, I think India has two or three big questions. There will be pressure on Abhishek Sharma and some pressure will also be on Sanju Samson. However, Sanju had scored a century in the last match. Therefore I would not say that there is any pressure on Sanju. He further said that, however, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will be back, so whenever you get a chance to open, you should score a lot of runs. So it is important for them. This is do or die time for Abhishek Sharma, because after this when England T20 series will be played at home ground, if you do not score runs here then you will definitely be dropped. Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had scored a century against Zimbabwe at the beginning of the year, but since then he has been struggling with the bat. In the last four matches he has scored only 49 runs.

Shocking statement of Shan Masood, this 24 year old Pakistani player is better than Virat Kohli
The 3-match Test series between Pakistan and England is going to start in Multan from 7th October. Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) There is a lot of turmoil in Pakistan cricket at the moment. Recently, they had lost in the Test series against Bangladesh, after which questions were raised on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given such a statement which has made him the target of many people. Pakistan cricket team is ready to play test series against England at home. This 3-match test series will start from October 7 in Multan. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given a big statement which many people are not liking. Actually, Shan Masood has spoken too much in praise of Pakistan’s opening batsman Abdullah Shafiq. He has described this 24 year old batsman as better than Virat Kohli. Shan Masood, in response to a question citing the comparison of statistics between Virat Kohli and Abdullah Shafiq, said that the Pakistan opener’s statistics in Test cricket are better than the star Indian batsman’s initial years. Pakistan Test team has been announced for the first Test of the series against England. Masood has been retained as the captain of the team while fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the team. Shaheen Afridi gave strange statement regarding Virat Kohli Shaheen did not get a place in the second and final Test against Bangladesh. Quoting Sportskeeda, journalists asked Shan Masood whether it is Abdullah Shafiq or Sam Ayub, the same type of players are playing T20 and Test. In response to this, the captain replied that he does not think your question is correct… He agrees that Pakistan has not played good cricket in 2024 but it is wrong to mix and compare Test performance with T20. He further said that things should be looked at objectively. You talk about statistics. The other day he kept looking at the record that Abdullah Shafiq, who has played 19 Tests, has a better record than Virat Kohli. There is no doubt that Shafiq’s figures in the first 19 Test matches may be better than Kohli’s, but this statement of Shan Masood has started a new kind of debate. Let us tell you that in the first 19 Test matches, Virat Kohli had scored 1178 runs in 32 innings at an average of 40.62, whereas Shafiq had scored 1372 runs in 36 innings of 19 matches at an average of 40.35.
“Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere, he will remain in DC”- Shocking claim by former Indian cricketer
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it. He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.

Lance Morris is currently in rehab and he himself has admitted that the whole task has been quite disturbing. According to ESPNcricinfo, Lance Morris said, ‘It has been a bit challenging. I guess you can call it a stress fracture but when we did the scan, it did not look like a normal stress fracture. So there was a bit of trouble in the beginning as to what it was? The surprising thing was that I did not have any back pain while I was bowling. I used to go to the doctor every month for a checkup and the MRI made it clear that I am moving in the right direction. I hope to become fully fit as soon as possible. The last few months have been very difficult: Lance Morris Despite being injured, Lance Morris has worked on his fitness.

What is the big difference between the captaincy of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh made shocking revelations
According to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of both. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are known as great captains in the history of Indian cricket. Both have the tag of World Cup winning captain in front of their names. Harbhajan Singh has the experience of playing under the leadership of both MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, according to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of the two. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. What did Harbhajan Singh say about MS Dhoni’s captaincy? Harbhajan Singh said, “Dhoni and Rohit are both different types of leaders. MS Dhoni will never go to a fielder and ask, ‘Which fielding do you want?’ He gives you a chance to learn from mistakes.” Bhajji explained by telling an anecdote “I remember one match, in which I was fielding at short fine leg and MS Dhoni was keeping. Shardul Thakur was bowling and on the first ball Kane Williamson hit him for a boundary. The next ball was also of the same length and Williamson played the same shot. I went to MS and asked him to tell Shardul to bowl a different length. MS told me, ‘Paaji if I tell him right now, he will never learn. Let him learn on his own.’ His thinking was that when Shardul gets hit for boundaries, he will learn quickly. This was the MS Dhoni way.” What did Harbhajan Singh say about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy? Talking about Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh said- “Rohit is very different. He will talk to every player. He is the kind of player who will put his hand on your shoulder and tell you what he wants from you. He will make you believe that yes, you can do it.” Captaincy in Test cricket has made Rohit Sharma an even better captain: Harbhajan Singh He said, “The biggest change in Rohit came when he started captaining in Test cricket. As a Test captain, you learn a lot. There are many moments in T20 that you ignore, but you cannot do that in Test cricket. In Test cricket, the captain runs everything. His strategy and its implementation are very important to win Test matches, this is what makes you a great leader. Steve Waugh’s name immediately comes to my mind, because he was very good at captaincy. If you are performing well as a captain in Test cricket, then it becomes easier to captain in T20 and ODIs.”
