I don’t think the team for T20 World Cup will be selected on the basis of Afghanistan series- Parthiv Patel
Team India is ahead 2-0 in the T-20 series against Afghanistan. Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel and Akshar Patel. (Image Source: BCCI/Instagram) After taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, India will take on Afghanistan in the third and final T20I at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru tonight. Before this match, JioCinema and Sports18’s cricket experts Saba Karim and Parthiv Patel talked about the role of Mukesh Sharma in the death overs and the change in India’s strategy in the final match and also answered many more questions. 1) On Mukesh Kumar’s role in Death Overs Parthiv Patel: I think he can definitely bowl in the powerplay, he has the skill. He has played a lot of first class cricket and knows what length to bowl, he is not a swing bowler. He is someone who hits the seam and hits back-of-length kind of balls. However, he has improved a lot as a death bowler. India may consider batting first in the third T20 match and put pressure on the opposition team. You can’t question anyone’s abilities but Mukesh Kumar has definitely improved as a death bowler. Will India bat or bowl first in Chinnaswamy? Saba Karim: I hope they chase the target in Bengaluru. Not only to keep the bowlers under question but also to test the depth of their batting. Lower-order players like Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar can be looked at. After the arrival of Hardik Pandya, you can understand whether you want to go with three seamers or spinners in the playing eleven or not? Parthiv Patel: We can also consider preparing slow wickets. The upcoming T20 World Cup will be held in America and West Indies where slow wickets are expected. Players may be tested for similar conditions. We all know that Chinnaswamy is a flat batting wicket, but turn can also be found on that wicket and India can consider doing so. In this way you can test your players and prepare the team for the World Cup. How important will this match be for Rohit Sharma Parthiv Patel: I do not see this series as a selection series for the World Cup. I don’t think any player’s performance or not will impact their chances of World Cup selection, especially when you are talking about Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. Once you pick them for the series, it means they are going to the World Cup. For Rohit Sharma personally he would like to score runs. He loves to create an atmosphere and if he is involved in it, he will want to make it big. Also read: Know who is Caribbean pacer Shamar Joseph, who is being discussed a lot in the cricket world?
Three main reasons why Haris Rauf should be dropped from Pakistan’s T20 team
In the third T20 match played on January 17, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 45 runs and took a 3-0 lead in the five-match T20 series. Harris Rauf (Pic Source-Twitter) In the third T20 match played on January 17, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 45 runs and took a 3-0 lead in the five-match T20 series. In this match, fast bowler Haris Rauf bowled very disappointingly for Pakistan and gave away 60 runs in four overs. New Zealand’s batsmen attacked Haris Rauf fiercely and put the Pakistan team on the backfoot. Let us tell you, Finn Allen batted brilliantly for New Zealand and played an incredible inning of 137 runs with the help of five fours and 16 sixes in 62 balls. Talking about Haris Rauf, his performance in the T20 format has been quite disappointing. He has not been able to leave his mark in international cricket in this format. Today we will tell you about the three main reasons why Pakistan should remove Haris Rauf from the T20 team. 1- Haris Rauf is giving away a lot of runs Harris Rauf. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Let us tell you, Haris Rauf has so far given runs at an economy rate of 11 in the T20 series against New Zealand. He has taken seven wickets but Pakistan team has not got any positive result from this. Even in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the bowling of this experienced bowler was heavily criticized. He had given a lot of runs for Pakistan in important tournaments and this was the reason why the team could not make its place in the knockouts.
Jitesh Sharma or Sanju Samson? Who will get the T20 World Cup ticket, Aakash Chopra told
Jitesh Sharma has scored 31 runs in the series so far. Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma will get a chance before Sanju Samson in the third T20 match against Afghanistan in Bengaluru. Jitesh Sharma had a brilliant performance in the first T20I, scoring 31 runs in 20 balls in Mohali, but failed to open his account in Indore. Before the upcoming T20 World Cup, this will be India’s last match in the shortest format and with that, the team management can try a few things in this match. However, Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma should get more chances in the final playing XI as he is yet to cement his place. He also said that Samson will not be judged for just one match and pointed out that the cricketer always finds himself in a difficult situation. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that the question is whether you should keep Jitesh or Sanju at number 6. If Jitesh had completely confirmed his place, if there was no question mark before Jitesh’s name, he would definitely be going to the World Cup, you could have thought about Sanju. However, there is no confirmation yet regarding Jitesh. The former opening batsman further said, “There is another side to this also. Suppose you give Sanju a chance, will you test him in a match? This is wrong. Whoever you try, give him at least three chances. This has happened with Sanju throughout his career.” Rohit and Kohli are certain to play third T20 match: Chopra India captain Rohit Sharma failed to open his account in the first two T20Is of the series. On the other hand, Virat Kohli missed the first T20 match and played the second match, but could not take advantage of his good start. Thus, Chopra expects both the cricketers to be included in the playing XI for the third T20I against Afghanistan. Chopra said, “Rohit has not scored any runs, so he will have to play. Virat Kohli has played only one match so far, so he will have to play. Yashasvi has also played only one match, so he will also have to play.” Also read: Virat will go to Ayodhya to attend the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 22

Let us tell you, both of them met during the gym session at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. In the picture shared by Yuzvendra Chahal on social media, both these Indian players are seen in T-shirt and shorts. He took this picture inside the gym. The young spinner wrote in the caption of his official Instagram post, ‘Gym session with the master of the sword.’ Here is Yuzvendra Chahal’s post: Let us tell you, the Indian team is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan at home. So far, two matches have been played between these two teams and both have been won by the hosts. The players of the Indian team have performed very well so far and have played an important role in the victory of their team. However, both Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja have been ignored in this T20 series. Both these players are not part of this T20 series. Talking about Ravindra Jadeja, he had scored 23 runs in two T20s in South Africa and took two important wickets. Chahal was included in the team for this series but he did not get a place in the playing XI. The young spinner bowled very well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 and took 18 wickets in 8 matches. This year, T20 World Cup 2024 is also to be played in West Indies and USA and both these players can prove to be important for the Indian team. However, nothing can be said right now whether Chahal will get a place in the Indian team in this important tournament or not? Chahal has not got a place in the Indian playing XI for a long time. However, he can be seen playing international cricket very soon.

It is very important to take advantage of the first six overs in T20 World Cup 2024 – Aakash Chopra
Team India is working hard for the prestigious tournament Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) All the teams have already started preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is also working hard for this prestigious tournament and is moving towards forming a strong squad. Earlier, the team had lost in the ODI World Cup 2023 final and its dream of winning the title was shattered. Therefore, the team will be expected to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup is to be played in the USA and West Indies. The Indian team has been placed in Group A along with Pakistan, Canada, Ireland and USA. The team will face Ireland, Pakistan and the United States in New York in its group stage matches, while taking on Canada in Lauderhill. Before the tournament, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has focused on what role captain Rohit Sharma will play for the Men in Blue. He believes that both Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try to take maximum advantage of the powerplay. ‘Then you will need power hitters in the end’ Chopra said on his YouTube channel that it will be very important to take advantage of the first six overs in West Indies and New York. As the ball gets a little older and the field opens up, the ball will not hit the bat well and it will become difficult to score runs. He further said, then you will need power hitters in the end, because the pitches will be like this. If you look at it from that perspective, you need to take advantage of the first six overs, and that’s where Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try their best to do that. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra has talked about the performance of the Indian captain in the ongoing T-20 series against Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma has not been able to open his account in both the T20 matches played so far, because he was out for zero in both the matches. He said, the way Rohit batted in the first two matches, it seemed that he was adopting a very aggressive mode, he was trying to hit every ball and would do so without getting set. read this also- “Talks are ongoing with them”, Pat Cummins responded regarding the future of Harris and Bancroft in the Test team.

Virat Kohli has been named ‘Chase Master’. No matter how big the target is for the Indian team, if Virat Kohli is present at the crease, then the opposing team is seen to be in a lot of trouble. Many people believe that Virat Kohli performs very well in ODI and Test but he is not able to bat aggressively in T20.
