I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma- Shikhar Dhawan
I think our best innings was the 193-run opening partnership against Australia in the 4th ODI in Mohali in 2019 – Shikhar Dhawan Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. (Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) Experienced cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has been out of Team India for a long time. At present, Shubman Gill is considered ahead of him in white ball cricket. Along with Rohit Sharma, the pair formed one of the most dangerous opening partnerships in ODI cricket and together they have broken many records in the past. The pair of Dhawan and Rohit are the fourth pair in ODI history to cross the 5000-run mark as openers. Earlier, this feat was achieved in ODI cricket by the pair of Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly, Adam Gilchrist-Matthew Hayden and Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes. Speaking about their friendship, the left-handed batsman credited Rohit for his success in international cricket. He said that their partnership gave Team India the foundation to chase bigger targets in the past. Shikhar Dhawan praised Rohit Sharma fiercely While talking to Times of India, Shikhar Dhawan said, ‘I have got a lot of support in opening the innings with Rohit Sharma. When you get better support, the team definitely gets a good start. With this you can easily chase the runs or make a big score. I really want to give the credit for my great performance and success to Rohit Sharma.” He further said, “Rohit at the other end gives a sense of comfort and assurance. I think our best innings was a 193-run partnership against Australia in the fourth ODI in Mohali in 2019 and the second best innings would be against Pakistan in the 2018 Asia Cup in Dubai where we had a partnership of 210 runs for the first wicket.” Dhawan now plays only in the Indian Premier League and has performed well for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the last few editions. Despite this, he is not able to make a comeback in Team India. India’s doors may be closed for him as priority will be given to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill but if they perform well with the bat in the upcoming IPL, then things may be different in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that in the last edition of IPL, it was ranked eighth. They will be aiming to improve in IPL 2024 and with that aim, the franchise had bought some other players in the auction including Harshal Patel, Riley Rousseau and Chris Woakes.

Pooran will be looking to perform well for Durban Super Giants in the ongoing SA20 Nicholas Pooran (Image Credit- Twitter) West Indies’ explosive batsman Nicholas Pooran has performed brilliantly in the shortest format of the game over the last few years.

Let us tell you that Durban Super Giants will face MI Cape Town in their opening match of the season. Cape Town finished bottom of the table in 2023 under Rashid Khan, but Nicholas Pooran is not going to make the mistake of taking it lightly. Puran said that whichever team can handle its weaknesses better, comes out victorious in the end. “I just want to keep doing what I have been doing for the last few years, which is consistently delivering match-winning performances and helping my teammates succeed as well,” IOL quoted Pooran as saying. This gives West Indies players another chance to improve: Pooran Ahead of the clash with MI, Pooran said that the game is played on its day, no matter who is in his team. There are many skilled players in our team and we have a very good lineup. This is a competition between bat and ball. Whoever can maintain his composure for a longer period has higher chances of winning. We are ready and we look forward to the challenge. Let us tell you that the West Indies team had failed to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup. Speaking on this, Pooran said that the last few years have been extremely challenging for the West Indies, but he is happy and thanks leagues like SA20 that Caribbean players get the opportunity to improve. read this also- When Indian fans became Rohit Sharma’s enemies in Australia!

SA20 2024: Aakash Chopra makes big prediction as he reveals the reason behind SA20 success
Aakash Chopra said CSA preferred the SA20, which proved to be excellent. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricketer and cricket expert Akash Chopra told that in 2023 SA20 Why the first edition was so successful and what fans can expect from SA20 2024. Aakash Chopra said on JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’: “I would like to go with AB de Villiers’ prediction that SA20 will soon become the second biggest league after IPL. I think SA20 has got the right direction and content right from the first season. For this you can give credit to Graeme Smith and the South African public. Fans had gathered even at neutral venues in SA20: Aakash Chopra Apart from these, the South Africa Cricket Board also deserves congratulations and credit for the importance given to SA20. It was very important to build a connection with the fans in the first season. You watch any match of the first season and stadiums everywhere were packed. Even at neutral venues, fans had gathered. SA20 has filled a gap that has been there in South African cricket for some time. Read here: “He was playing ODI cricket as if T-20 was going on” – Aakash Chopra said about Rohit Sharma The second thing that went right with SA20 is that CSA gave priority to this T20 league. Some people have complained that South Africa were not playing a full strength team in the Test series and they suffered defeat in the ODI series. But CSA realized that if they couldn’t provide something interesting, they wouldn’t be able to retain players for long. The SA20 is also known for local talent and the quality of their performances.” Left-handed players will be the main attraction this time: Aakash Chopra On expectations from the second edition of SA20, Aakash Chopra said: “The Indian connection, the SA20 teams are owned by IPL franchise owners. Due to this there is an overlap and a connection. The other thing about this league is that it was extremely successful last season, mainly due to the performance of its local players, be it Aiden Markram, Marco Johnson or Kagiso Rabada. I think this time left-arm spinners will play a major role. There is one left-arm spinner in every team. Keshav Maharaj is actually the captain of his team Durban Super Giants. Bjorn Fortuyn of Paarl Royals is also a good left-handed player. There is something about South African pitches where the fast bowlers perform well and the left-arm spinners too.” IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket…
