Nassau County Stadium (Image Credit- Getty Images) The first match of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played yesterday (June 3) between Sri Lanka and South Africa at the newly built stadium of New York, i.e. Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. After the first match itself, questions have been raised about the pitch. This pitch is not considered suitable for T20 cricket. This match played between SL vs SA was a very low scoring match. In this match, South Africa first bowled out Sri Lanka for 77 runs. Enrique Norkhia took 4 wickets for the African team. Kusal Mendis was the top scorer for Sri Lanka, he scored 19 runs. South Africa won this match by 6 wickets, but the team had to bat for almost 16 overs to score 78 runs. Tristan Stubbs, who is known for his stormy batting, scored 13 runs in 28 balls. This has raised questions on the pitch. Be it Sri Lankan batsmen or South African batsmen, everyone had to struggle a lot to score runs in this match. After the match ended, many questions are being raised about the pitch of Nassau International Stadium. Many cricket experts including fans are also not happy to see the pitch there. After this match, former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that this pitch of Nassau is not ideal for T20 cricket. Veteran cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle posted an comment on this and wrote, “I am not sure this is the best introduction to cricket in a new country.” The drop-in pitch in New York has been brought from Adelaide, whose maintenance is the responsibility of Damian Hugh. Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that the New York pitch looks like a pitch from the 80s and the batsmen are from 2020. This is not a good union. Apart from this, many cricketers have given their opinion on this pitch.

He has been continuously giving some statement or the other since that defeat. This tweet of Ambati Rayudu went viral like fire on social media ambati rayudu wrote on social media, ‘I feel bad for the fans who have been passionately supporting the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team for years. If the management and leaders of the RCB franchise team had put the well-being of the team before their personal milestones… RCB would have won many trophies by now. Remember how many great players this franchise team let go, put pressure on your management to bring such players in the team who put the welfare of the team first, a great chapter can be started with the mega auction. My heart truly goes out to all the RCB supporters who have passionately supported the team over the years. If only the management and the leaders had the teams interests ahead of individual milestones .. RCB would have won multiple titles. Just remember how many fantastic players… — ATR (@RayuduAmbati) May 24, 2024 Earlier, Ambati Rayudu said about RCB’s defeat, ‘If you talk about RCB, it shows that you cannot win the trophy just by passion and celebration. You cannot win the trophy just by reaching the playoffs, do not think at all that you can capture the trophy just by defeating CSK.’
“Sunil Narayan was deliberately targeted” Rovman Powell told what happened to Butler during the match
Powell made an important partnership of 57 runs with Buttler in just 27 balls when Buttler was finding it difficult to hit the big shots. Powell said that he had told his partner not to worry because he would hit big shots and if Powell was out, Buttler could comfortably finish the match. When 62 runs were needed from the last four overs, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer brought in Sunil Narine to bowl the last over of his spell. Before this over, he had given only 14 runs in the three overs bowled and had taken one wicket. Powell took command in place of Butler and hit a four and then two sky-high sixes. However, he dismissed Powell on his fifth ball but by then he had given the necessary momentum to Rajasthan’s innings. Powell’s thinking on the plan to attack Sunil Narayan was that he wanted the rest of RR’s batsmen to get the morale that if he can hit the shot then anyone can do it. Powell said in the press conference after the match- “In T20 cricket, not many people get credit for playing impressive innings. There is a lot of technology available that gives data about the innings played by people, but there is not a lot of data and technology available to understand that impact. I have tried this by attacking Sunil. I made my main bowler and people believe that if Sunil can score runs, anyone can score runs.” “I was there with Jose and I told him, you get some rest. I will try to hit some sixes. Because he was trying to hit the ball but was not connecting with it. So, I tried to hit sixes and if I get out, you take the responsibility of trying to hit big sixes.”
IND vs ENG: Aakash Chopra targeted the captaincy of Ben Stokes, said- he had forgotten that..

The second match of the series was played in Visakhapatnam, in which India won by 106 runs. After the victory of Team India, the series is tied at 1-1. After England’s shameful defeat in the second test match, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is raising questions on the captaincy of Ben Stokes. Aakash Chopra says that Ben Stokes did not use his bowlers properly. He could not understand the pitch – Aakash Chopra After the Visakhapatnam Test, Aakash Chopra while talking on his YouTube channel said, ‘Do they (England) follow baseball approach in bowling also? They sometimes keep the field in a slightly new way. I like that because it makes you think again and again. However, apart from this, I do not see any aggressive captaincy. Aakash Chopra also strongly condemned the decision of not using Rehan Ahmed in the first 60 overs of the second Test match against India. Aakash Chopra further said, ‘With his field placements and his usage of bowlers, the captaincy is not aggressive at all. On the first day, he did not use Rehan Ahmed for the first 60 overs. He forgot that he had a leg spinner. Aakash Chopra also said that the England team could not understand the pitch properly. Also, Ben Stokes’ team had entered with a fast bowler. This decision of England is also very saddening to Akash Chopra. ,A big mistake was that you did not play two fast bowlers. You went with a fast bowler. And also wanted to go with an all-spin attack, This is a failure to understand the pitch.

This is the reason why he could become a champion in this game.” My words were taken out of context: Nitish Reddy “Maybe my choice of words was bad and it reached the fans in the wrong way and it was portrayed in the wrong way. You all know how big a fan I am of him. My intention was not to make any comparison. “I expected to face criticism based on my performance if I failed or my form was bad. But I never thought that fans would create misconceptions against a person whom I idolise. I am extremely saddened to see this reaction of fans as my words were twisted and misunderstood. I understand how fast negativity can spread on social media, but it is still difficult to deal with.” My parents suffered the most because of this: Nitish “My parents have suffered the most because of this.
