Actually, I was busy so I could not see the result..hope everything will be fine.” On hearing this, Wasim Jaffer answered the question in a very good way. Jaffer made a reference to England’s Ashes win on Australian soil, where they have not won a single match in the last decade. Jaffer replied, “I would say it in the context of the Ashes, Michael. India won the same number of Tests in that series as England have won in Australia in the last 12 years.” See the tweets of both I’ll put it in Ashes terms for you Michael.

“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
Sri Lanka raised security concerns about England Test tour due to ongoing riots in UK, know what was said?
Sri Lanka has proposed a 3 match Test series against England from 21 August Srilanka Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) Sri Lanka’s men’s cricket team is going to tour England very soon for a three-match Test series. However, before going on this tour, the team has expressed concern over the security situation in England in view of the anti-immigrant riots that broke out in the country. It is worth noting that a three-match Test series is proposed between Sri Lanka and England from August 21. So when Sri Lanka has raised concerns about security, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has responded to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and the team by assuring them about the security arrangements. So one of the team players who is currently in the UK, told ESPN Cricinfo – It seems that most of the issues are not close to the level where we are but everyone is still a bit worried about the situation. We can’t really go out for dinner or anything like that. We mostly stay in the hotel. Nobody wants to get into trouble and get beaten up. We have asked the board to arrange some security for us till the main team arrives, but we haven’t received any response yet. On the other hand, when Sri Lanka Cricket Team Manager Mahinda Halangoda summoned the ECB regarding security, they responded immediately. Halangoda said- I raised the issue of security with them, but the ECB responded very quickly and sent us their comprehensive security arrangements. We will also have a security liaison with them on the tour.

Gautam Gambhir (Source X) Gautam Gambhir Trolled: Team India’s Sri Lanka tour has ended with 3 ODIs and 3 T20 series. This was the first tour of Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir’s tenure. This was a litmus test for Gambhir. Talking about the series, Gautam Gambhir along with captain Suryakumar Yadav impressed everyone with their brilliant performance in the T20 series. But none of his experiments worked in the ODI series and India had to lose the series 0-2. Gautam Gambhir was chosen as the head coach of the Indian team, in the place vacated by Rahul Dravid. Gambhir created a big stir as soon as he took over as the coach. He made many demands from the BCCI and the entire internet was talking about Gautam Era. But what happened, Team India lost the ODI series to Sri Lanka. The shameful thing happened when it was heard that India has lost the series to Sri Lanka after 27 years. After India’s series loss, Gautam Gambhir is being trolled a lot by making memes. Team India performed brilliantly in the T20 World Cup played in Barbados, West Indies and made India the champion. This was successful under the coaching of Rahul Dravid. After that, it was a bit difficult to fill Dravid’s place, however the management trusted Gambhir and gave him this big responsibility. Made KKR the champion in IPL but failed in the ODI series Gautam made the KKR team the champion of IPL 2024, which helped him retain the post of coach. Gautam claimed during the IPL that he has excellent coaching skills. Apart from this, the Lucknow Super Giants team he coached was in the top four in the IPL playoffs both the times. But Gambhir’s training failed in the ODI format and India lost its last match in a very embarrassing manner. Now after the defeat against Sri Lanka, Team India fans have started trolling Gambhir on social media. One after another memes are being made for him. We have brought some trending memes for you.

Aakash Chopra slammed the management for the continuous changes in the batting lineup of the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour
India performed poorly in the ODI series and were defeated by Sri Lanka 2–0. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India’s tour of Sri Lanka ended on 7 August. In this tour, India clean swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20 series. However, India’s performance in the ODI series was quite poor and Sri Lanka defeated them 2-0. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team could not perform well in the ODI format. In this ODI series, it was seen that a lot of changes have been made in the batting lineup of the Indian players. Former player Aakash Chopra put forward his point of view regarding this. In the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag also bowled very well and took important wickets for their team. However, in this tour, the players of the Indian team failed to bat well. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Number four has now become a revolving door as we have given batting order to different players in every match. What is the idea of making a player like KL Rahul bat at number 6 or number seven? Why don’t you fight from the beginning? In India, KL Rahul was included in the playing XI for only two matches and then he was dropped. It was really surprising to see this because KL Rahul was in his plans since 2023. This is also because no one else had scored more runs than him in the middle order since 2023. Number four has now become a matter of concern for the Indian team Let us tell you, in the first ODI match played between India and Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar batted at number four but he scored only five runs. After this, Shivam Dubey was given this important responsibility in the second ODI but he could not even open his account and India lost the match. In the third and final ODI match, Rishabh Pant was included in the team and was given batting at number four but he returned to the pavilion after scoring good runs. The Indian team will have to give a chance to such a player in this order as soon as possible, who can bat well at number four and win the hearts of all the fans. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Sri Lankan audience shouted Rohit-Rohit, watch the magic of Hitman in the video

Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: A 3 match ODI series was played between India and Sri Lanka which Sri Lanka won 2-0. This tour and its result was no less than a shock for Team India. Head coach Gautam Gambhir had called Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play in this series after ending their break. Despite having great players, Team India had to face a shameful defeat. However, in this tournament, where players like Virat Kohli and other Indian cricketers failed, Rohit Sharma gave Sri Lankan bowlers a tough time. Rohit Sharma was the highest run scorer in this series. He scored 157 runs in 3 matches at an average of 52.33 and a strike rate of 141.44. Rohit Sharma hit 18 fours and 8 sixes in the entire series. The players of Rohit Sharma’s team did not perform well but Team India’s captain and Hitman Rohit Sharma appeared in the same fierce form. Sri Lankan spectators are also fans of Rohit Sharma After years of searching for the trophy, Rohit Sharma has finally made Team India the champion of T20 World Cup 2024 and ended the trophy drought in the country. With this, he has become the third captain of India to win the ICC trophy for the country. Rohit Sharma’s fan base has grown a lot in the last 1 year. He got a lot of support after he was removed from captaincy in IPL. After that, the hard work he has done with himself and his team to make India the T20 World Cup champion has made the whole world his fan. The same scene was seen in the Sri Lanka series when Rohit Sharma was returning to the pavilion. The Sri Lankan spectators were more excited to see Rohit Sharma than the team. Along with this, the noise that was being heard was more of Rohit-Rohit than Sri Lanka-Sri Lanka. A video of this is going viral on social media in which Sri Lankan fans are chanting Rohit Sharma’s name loudly.
