Recently, Rana proved his usefulness with the red ball by taking five wickets and a half-century against Assam in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Meanwhile, speaking about his maiden call up, the fast bowler said that his competitive attitude is similar to that of Australia and he is proud to have made it to India’s 18-member squad. He also said that his father’s dream was for Rana to play Test cricket against England at Lord’s but he always preferred to play against the Australian team. Harshit Rana gave a big statement regarding maiden call up in test cricket Harshit Rana was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo, “The kind of competitive attitude I like to play cricket with on the field is similar to Australia. It was my father’s dream that I would someday play a Test against England at Lord’s, but I personally like Australia more. I am proud of myself to be a part of Team India on this tour.” Rana was included in the squad as a traveling reserve for the first two Test matches against New Zealand. He was seen practicing at the NCA during the Test played in Bengaluru. At that time the 22-year-old player realized that his name could be considered for the series against Australia. Speaking on this he said that the selection was a big thing for him. He said, “When the team was announced, I came to know that I am going to Australia. But there were indications that I could be selected for the Australia tour because they included me in the team for preparation. He said, “It is a big thing for me to be selected for the Australia tour.”
‘I have that too’ When Rohit Sharma admitted that his captaincy style is like Dhoni
Rohit has made India win the T20 World Cup 2024 title under his captaincy. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian captain Rohit Sharma has admitted many times that he has learned captaincy from former Indian captain MS Dhoni, and his style of captaincy is also similar to him. It is noteworthy that Rohit started commanding the Indian team from the year 2018, when under his captaincy the Indian team won the Asia Cup that year. The then captain Virat Kohli had decided to withdraw from the tournament due to workload and back injury. After this, the Indian management declared Rohit Sharma as the stand-in captain of Team India in the tournament. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Team India performed brilliantly, and in the final of the 2018 Asia Cup, India won the title for the record 7th time by winning against Bangladesh by 3 wickets in Dubai. Shikhar Dhawan (342) and Rohit Sharma (317) were the top scorers in batting, while in bowling, Kuldeep Yadav (10 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (8 wickets) took command. When Rohit said his style of captaincy is like Dhoni After the Asia Cup win, Rohit received a lot of praise from the cricket world for remaining calm on the field like MS Dhoni. After winning the tournament, Rohit had said- Look, we always learn from MS Dhoni, because he has been a very good captain. Whenever we faced any problem or question on the field, he was always there with the answer. What I have seen while captaining the team for so many years is that he never panics, takes a few seconds before taking a decision, thinks about it and then takes the decision. So, I have that similarity in my captaincy, and I think I have that too. I also try to think and then react.
IND vs BAN: Tamim Iqbal reminded fans of Kohli-Mushfiqur rivalry, Shastri took fun in his own style
Tamim Iqbal is part of the commentary panel during India vs Bangladesh Test series Ravi Shastri (Image Credit- Twitter X) When a match of the 2016 T20 World Cup was played between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN), Mushfiqur Rahim celebrated very aggressively before the victory, but later India won the match. After this, when India had to face defeat in the semi-final match against West Indies in the tournament, Bangladesh made a controversial post, which was in the headlines. On the other hand, the first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is currently being played at the MM Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While Tamim Iqbal, a part of the commentary panel and former Bangladesh captain, tried to create a new rivalry between former captain Virat Kohli and Mushfiqur Rahim during this series, Ravi Shastri made fun of him in a different way. In the first innings of the Chennai Test match, Kohli and Mushfiqur proved to be flops with the bat. In such a situation, Tamim Iqbal, who was present in the commentary panel, was expecting a spat between the two on the field. During this, Tamim, who was a part of the panel, said- Tamim Iqbal – Mushfiqur Rahim is batting, Virat Kohli is in the slips. Be careful now, keep an eye on them, they have a lot of history. Ravi Shastri- Which history? Tamim Iqbal: Oh, you know, Ravi. You know what history I am talking about. (laughs) Harsha Bhogle: Ah, okay Tamim. I think Mushfiqur has a little bit of history with everybody. India took a lead of 308 runs over Bangladesh On the other hand, in reply to India’s first innings score of 376 runs, Bangladesh’s first innings was reduced to just 149 runs. At the stumps of the second day, India has scored 81 runs at the loss of 3 wickets after 23 overs in the second innings. Shubman Gill is batting at 33* and Rishabh Pant at 12*. India currently has a lead of 308 runs over Bangladesh.
Video: Before Bezball, Rishabh Pant was playing PantBall cricket style, said “When I was doing it…”
England plays cricket with a Bazball approach which means batting in an attacking style. But Pant has been playing attacking style cricket ever since he made his debut in the team. Rishabh Pant (Source X) Rishabh Pant is returning to the Test team after almost 2 years of the accident. He has been included in the team for the upcoming Bangladesh series. During his cricket career, Rishabh Pant has demonstrated an aggressive batting style, often taking a risky approach. It is worth noting that England plays cricket with a Bazball approach which means batting in an attacking style. But ever since Pant made his debut in the team, he has been playing attacking style cricket. Whatever the situation on the field, as soon as Rishabh Pant comes in, he starts thrashing the bowlers and hitting long sixes. In his pursuit of scoring runs quickly, he has experienced success on many occasions, but has also failed many times, due to which he has had to face criticism. Whether the team is in trouble or the batsmen have to bat cautiously, these words are not in Rishabh Pant’s dictionary. In such a situation, everyone wants to know why he plays so fearlessly. Recently, after appearing in a video of popular content creator Tanmay Bhat, 26-year-old Rishabh Pant gave his reactions to several cricket-related memes. Meanwhile, Tanmay Bhat asked him this question. Rishabh Pant’s brilliant reply on risky batting The question was: “Why doesn’t Rishabh Pant bat safely?” On hearing the question, Rishabh Pant answered it in a very smart way and silenced Tanmay Bhat and the panelists. Pant replied about his aggressive playing style- “Now you are enjoying watching Buzzball. When I was doing this before that, didn’t you like it?’ On hearing this answer, everyone on the panel started laughing and said that if England’s aggressive attitude is called Bazball, then Rishabh’s aggressive attitude will be called PantBall. Along with this, everyone said that Pantball had come before Bazball. Watch video can someone show this video to ben duckett pic.twitter.com/mwFucxP6db — Aryan Don (@aryan68753) September 8, 2024

India played a great style of cricket in the T20 World Cup: Brett Lee
Brett Lee and Team India Former cricketer Brett Lee congratulated the Indian team for their success and said that the Men in Blue played perfect cricket in the mega tournament (T20 World Cup) held in USA and West Indies. Under the able leadership of Rohit Sharma, India became the champion of this tournament without losing in the tournament. Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was very impressed with this record of Team India and he said that India is looking very strong in the World Cup right now. Along with this, he has also praised the captain for leading the team. Let us tell you that after the T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have retired from this format. What did Brett Lee say about Team India’s performance in the World Cup- “Many congratulations to India. First of all, I would like to say that I really enjoyed seeing the happiness and the emotion on the faces of all the Indian cricketers. Virat and Rohit have moved beyond the game.” “One thing I would say is that India played the perfect style of cricket in the T20 World Cup. Honestly, they looked like a strong side. Many congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. They were playing on the front foot in the tournament.” Who will become the next captain of Team India? The question is why will there be a captain for Team India’s T20 format? It is being speculated that the team’s vice-captain Hardik Pandya may be given the command. But now the name of a new player has come up on whom the BCCI itself is considering. Rohit Sharma was rested after India’s ODI World Cup campaign. Meanwhile, Suryakumar successfully led the national T20 team. The BCCI wants Suryakumar Yadav to remain their captain. Now a BCCI source has given a statement regarding the upcoming captain- “It is a delicate matter. Hardik’s fitness is an issue but he has played a big role in India’s recovery from the ICC crisis. As far as Suryakumar is concerned, we have received feedback from the team that his captaincy style has been well appreciated by the dressing room.”
Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? A big reason came to the fore
An Indian women all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. Divya Gnanananda (Pic Source X) An Indian women’s all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. She is 28 years old and plays for India’s D team and Karnataka women’s cricket team. Divya is a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s team in the Women’s Premier League. Like most cricketers in India, Divya Gnanananda was inspired to play cricket by watching the great Sachin Tendulkar. Divya made her professional debut at the age of 15. She played with Prasidh Krishna during her school days. Trained by Srinivas Murthy, she has played for Shantha Rangaswamy’s Falcon Sports Club. Divya has been one of the best players for Karnataka in domestic cricket and has been a consistent run-scorer across formats. In the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year, she was the seventh-highest run-scorer with 396 runs in 10 innings at an average of 49.50. She scored a half-century (69 off 116 balls) in the tournament final against Railways. However, his innings went in vain and Railways won by 6 wickets. Now Divya Gnanananda has shared the story of KL Rahul’s style celebration after scoring a half-century in the final of the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year. Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? “That (shutting down the noise) celebration was special for me because it came after a difficult time. We were playing against the same team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the final. I felt the pressure to perform well as it was our home ground and my supporters were there. I started off strongly by hitting two boundaries off Meghna Singh and felt confident. But then I made a mistake and got out.” “From that day till recently, I faced a lot of criticism, especially from my close friends and family. They kept reminding me of that match and doubting my abilities against tough teams and quality bowlers. That made me very upset.” “When I finally got the chance to face them and scored 46, I felt a range of emotions. I was so focused on proving myself that I didn’t even realise I was close to scoring 50. When I scored, I felt like throwing my bat down to show that I won’t listen to negative comments anymore. I wanted to prove that I can score runs against tough teams and even score 50 against strong opponents. So that’s how I celebrated.”
