(Photo Source: X(Twitter) Ever since five-time champion Mumbai Indians appointed Hardik Pandya as their captain for IPL 2024, he has been criticized a lot in the cricket world. As soon as Hardik becomes captain It’s an end to the era of Rohit Sharma, who has been leading the Mumbai-based franchise since 2013. The legendary opening batsman has led MI to five IPL titles, making him the most successful captain in the history of the league. Despite taking the Ashish Nehra-coached team to consecutive finals, Hardik was sent to Mumbai from Gujarat Titans (GT). MI last won the IPL title in 2020 and the move could be made as they wanted to make a difference in the upcoming season. Yuvraj gave a surprising statement regarding Hardik and Rohit Meanwhile, former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh opened up on the captaincy debate, saying things will become difficult as players get older and franchises will rely on youngsters. He also said that he too has faced a similar situation but he feels that “there can be no substitute for experience.” “In franchise cricket, it always gets tougher as you get older,” Yuvraj Singh was quoted as saying by Times of India. Every franchise always wants to promote a young player on whom they have spent a lot, and that is absolutely justified. I have also faced this situation. But still, it can happen. There can be no substitute for experience. Rohit has a lot of experience and has performed well. But a franchise has to think long term.” Apart from Rohit, Virat Kohli faces tough competition from young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma and Shivam Dubey in India’s T20I setup. Referring to this, Yuvraj still believes that Rohit and Kohli can play their role in the shortest format of the game. Also read: Ian Chappell wants to see changes in boundary rules

However, during this time, he tried to make a roundabout move on the question of coaching his son Samit (Samit Dravid). Let us tell you that Rahul Dravid’s son has performed sensationally in junior level cricket, due to which he came into the limelight. 18-year-old Samit Dravid played a key role in taking Karnataka to the final of the Cooch Behar Trophy. It is difficult to be a parent and coach- Rahul Dravid This all-rounder has scored 370 runs in 7 matches at an average of 37.78, which includes three half-centuries. Along with this, he has also taken three wickets in the tournament. Recently, on the question of giving coaching to his son, Rahul Dravid said that he does not give coaching to his son, because it is difficult for parent and coach to live together. While talking on Jio Cinema, he said, I do not even try to coach Samit. It’s hard to be a parent and coach. I’m just trying to be a parent. Don’t know what I am doing in that also. Further speaking on the abundance of left-handed batsmen in the team, he said, a good link has been formed with the arrival of players like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Verma. But in the end, we make selections based on performance and not just on the basis of left-right-handed batsman. The head coach also said that we still have left-handed players in the line-up. But it is not just about left-handed players, but the ability to play over a period and be able to deal with different types of spin. read this also- BCB President Nazmul Hasan will resign from his post, reason revealed
Ishan Kishan has not made himself available even for Ranji Trophy – JSCA Secretary’s statement
Ishan Kishan is not a part of the Indian team at present. Recently, he had withdrawn his name from the series against South Africa citing mental fatigue.

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

I think the coach and selection panel should understand what the players need and what kind of players they need on which pitches. It is not so easy to select players with the kind of talent India has: Graeme Smith The former South African captain further said, ‘India has no dearth of talent and that is why they face a lot of difficulty in selecting players.

“It is good that the match ended so quickly and no player got injured” – DK’s statement regarding the Cape Town Test.
Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Twitter) Experienced Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik believes that if the Cape Town Test match had lasted longer, it would have become even more difficult to bat on the pitch there. In fact, in the recently concluded test match between South Africa and India, Team India won by 7 wickets. This test match did not last even for two days. In this way it became the shortest match in the history of Test cricket. A total of 642 balls were bowled in this entire test match.

In fact, after the end of this test match, the Cape Town pitch is being criticized everywhere. It’s good that the Cape Town Test match ended early – Dinesh Karthik Speaking to Cricbuzz about the Cape Town pitch, Dinesh Karthik said, “If more cracks had opened up on the pitch over time, batting could have been really difficult. It would have been difficult in such a way that the batsmen could have suffered body injuries. So in a way, it’s good that the match ended so quickly and no players were injured. Dinesh Karthik also said that, Jasprit Bumrah’s six wickets swung the momentum back in India’s favour. The momentum quickly shifted in favor of the hosts after the Proteas took six wickets without giving away any runs and wrapped up the Indian innings. The wicketkeeper batsman further said, “We needed seven wickets and the Test could have gone either way. But he (Bumrah) comes and takes five wickets and shows that he is on a mission. Some of the greatest bowlers in the world would be envious of his stats. I can promise that right now there will be no batsman in the world who would want to bat against him.” Also read: Melbourne Stars got a big shock in the ongoing BBL season
“India is an overrated team in Test and T-20” – Srikanth created a sensation with his statement.
Indian Test Team. (Photo Source: SUJIT JAISWAL/AFP, Sydney Seshibedi – Gallo Images/Getty Images) After having a forgettable time on the cricket pitch in 2023, Team India will be looking to make a fresh start in the new year. They face South Africa in the second Test today on Wednesday, January 03 at Newlands, Cape Town. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a defeat by an innings and 32 runs in the opening game in Centurion and are now looking for a win to level the series. Let us tell you that India is the number one ranked Test team with 118 rating. However, they have failed to win consecutive World Test Championship finals. Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Group is also not very happy with India’s Test performance and has called them an ‘overrated team’. He believes that when Virat was the captain, the team was doing well in Test cricket for 2-3 years. K Srikanth called India an overrated team in Test and T-20. Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “We are overrated in Test cricket. I think it was the 2-3 year phase…when Virat Kohli was the captain of the team, we were excellent. We dominated in England, we fought hard in South Africa, we won in Australia. We had a good phase for 2-4 years.” Srikanth further said, ‘We have to forget the ICC rankings. We’re always number 1-2, 1-2. It is a mix of overrated cricketers and cricketers who have not performed to their potential. Or some players like Kuldeep (Yadav) who have not got enough opportunities. If you want to be the best team, you must be able to become a giant on home grounds. This is what we did when Rishabh Pant was firing. Talking about India’s performance in limited overs cricket, the former cricketer said that ‘India is more overrated in T20 cricket. ODI cricket, we are a great team. What happens in the semi-finals and finals in ODI is a one-time match. It is a factor of luck, a lot depends on luck in these matches.
