“He will have to talk to himself”- Ganguly gave special advice to Rahul before the start of BGT.
Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. During the last edition of the tournament, the keeper-batsman had an intense conversation with owner Sanjiv Goenka after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and it is believed that the relationship between them soured after that. Rahul will now try his luck in the mega-auction and former captain Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that he will get a good team that will understand his importance. He said that after the controversy with Goenka, the pressure might have increased on Rahul and said that the player has to talk to himself and then leave everything behind. He also highlighted that every player goes through ups and downs in his career and something similar happened with the 32-year-old. Sourav Ganguly gave important advice to KL Rahul before BGT Ganguly said there is a lot of pressure on Rahul ever since Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction of the cash-rich tournament. “He has to talk to himself,” he said as quoted by RevSportz. He has to talk to himself and say, just leave everything behind. Ups and downs are part of the game. Confidence keeps going up and down. You have to work hard in the nets and get your confidence back.” Ganguly further said, “I know he has gone through a lot. Lucknow Super Giants have released him. I don’t know if they will buy it back in the auction or not. I am sure he will get a good team and he will be able to recover his price in the IPL, but these things put pressure on players.” KL Rahul is currently on Australia tour and is part of the five-match Test series. It is considered certain that he will play in the Perth Test match, because Rohit Sharma is not available yet and Shubman Gill is also injured. In such a situation, he can play in the top order. Ganguly also said that if Rohit is not available then KL Rahul should open and Dhruv Jurel should play in the middle order.

So, it is an honor to coach him and India.”

After the announcement of this team, Adam Gilchrist in a discussion with Fox Cricket said- English is in the team as a reserve batsman, which Australia traditionally does not do in home conditions. I think McSweeney will open, but is he sticking to last year’s policy? We want our six best batsmen in Australia to play in the top six. Nathan McSweeney is a good looking player. They see his game being a little more suited to opening batting, while Josh English knows how to attack, so keep him in the top order. This is probably the best way to protect him.

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.
