(Photo Source: Getty Images) Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has revealed that he has signed a contract for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Did not try to convince Hardik Pandya to remain with the Ahmedabad franchise. Under the captaincy of Hardik, Gujarat Titans team won the title in the first season itself. Last year the team had made it to the finals, where Chennai Super Kings defeated the team. Meanwhile, speaking about his good stint with Gujarat Titans, Nehra expressed his sentiments that he could have tried to keep Pandya in the team, but he did not do so. Quoting Hindustan Times, Ashish Nehra said that, I never tried to convince Hardik to remain in the team. The more you play, the more experience you get. If he had gone to any other team, I would have stopped him. He played here for two years, but he was going back to a team for which he played for 5-6 years.” Gujarat Titans will miss Hardik Pandya – Ashish Nehra Nehra also admitted that the Gujarat team will definitely miss Hardik Pandya. But he also said that this will be a big chance and opportunity for other players. Nehra said, “In any game, you have to move forward. You can’t buy experience and it won’t be easy to replace someone like Hardik Pandya or (injured) Mohammed Shami. But this is a learning curve and that is how the team moves forward.” The former bowler finally said, “Before Hardik Pandya joined Gujarat Titans, he had no experience of captaining any team. 10 teams play in IPL and you will get to see new captains. Shreyas Iyer and even Nitish Rana captained Kolkata Knight Riders. It remains to be seen which player steps forward as captain. As a captain I want to see how he works and not just me, the whole of India wants to see that because that’s the kind of player he is.”
‘They were not making players but spoiling them’ – Aakash Chopra criticized SRH franchise
SRH was at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2023. Aakash Chopra And SRH (Photo Source: Twitter) Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) wrong approach is their biggest weakness going into the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Let us tell you that, IPL 2023 has been forgettable for SRH, despite having some big players in the team, it remained at the bottom of the points table. Chopra has commented that SRH constantly changed their match combination and perhaps that is why they could not perform well last season. Referring to Umran Malik, he said that the franchise did not use the Jammu fast bowler properly. Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of SRH In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When I see his weakness, I feel that his thinking is messed up. The team was good last time too, but why did they not perform well? This is because they used to change the team every third match. You have spoiled Mayank Agarwal.” He further said, “You didn’t use Umran Malik at all, and when you did, you didn’t use him properly. He doesn’t bowl in the powerplay, but you gave him overs there. Then you didn’t feed him. “They were not making players but ruining them.” The 46-year-old player further said that his past mistakes could ‘haunt’ him in the upcoming season as well. Chopra said, “In the end they were completely clueless. The captaincy was normal. I see it as a bit of a weakness because if you have a lot of options then when you are tempted you make a quick change.” We don’t list Pat Cummins as gun players in T20: Aakash Chopra Chopra further said that srh Newly appointed captain Pat Cummins is a good player but believes that he will not be able to perform well in the T20 format. This cricketer turned commentator said that, “Their captain (Pat Cummins) is a very good player, but we do not put him in the list of gun players in T20, even he is not the captain of Australia. AndHe is the ODI captain but not the T20I captain. He does not bowl much in the powerplay and death overs. If one of your overseas fast bowlers doesn’t bowl in these two key areas, that’s a problem. You see your overseas bowlers there, but here you will probably only see Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan.”
Delhi Capitals made a big change for IPL 2024, included this explosive batsman in the team in place of Lungi Ngidi.
Jake Fraser-McGurk (Image Credit- Twitter X) Delhi Capitals (DC) has suffered a big setback before the start of IPL. The franchise has included all-rounder Jack Fraser-McGurk in the squad as a replacement for Lungi Ngidi. Fans are eagerly waiting for IPL 2024 which is going to start on March 22. All the teams are busy preparing vigorously. Jake Fraser-McGurk included in the team as replacement In the recent update from Delhi Capitals (DC), all-rounder Jake Fraser-McGurk has been named as the replacement for the injured Ngidi. Lungi Ngidi has taken 25 wickets in 14 IPL matches and obviously the team will miss him. However, the franchise is hopeful that Fraser-McGurk’s inclusion will bring new energy to the team. South Australia’s Fraser McGurk is known for his aggressive batting style and has caught everyone’s attention with his batting. He came into limelight when he broke AB de Villiers’ record of the fastest century by scoring a century in just 29 balls. Harry Brook is also out for Delhi Ngidi’s absence due to injury after Brook’s withdrawal from the tournament is a big blow for Delhi Capitals. The English batsman had recently told that due to family reasons he will not play IPL and will spend time with his family. Brook reveals that his grandmother died after a long illness, and he wants to be close to his family members. After the exit of these two foreign players from the tournament, Enrique Norkhia and Jhay Richardson now seem to have a place in the playing XI. Both the frontline bowlers can create problems for the opposition team by opening DC’s bowling. However, Norkhia also returned to competitive cricket last week for the first time since September 2023. Also read: Captain Rohit Sharma will revive Prithvi Shaw’s career!

He said, “This time Deepak Chahar is coming back from injury, Pathirana’s performance for Sri Lanka has not been good, the form is also not very good, Conway has also got injured. Now if your 3 or 4 key players are injured or their form is not good then the challenge of team management becomes more difficult. So there is a challenge for MS Dhoni but since we know Dhoni is a mastermind, he will do something and manage as he does every year.”

He has included fast bowlers in his bowling line up. They have 3 fast bowlers who can bowl the ball at a speed of 140 km/h. So there is a possibility that on a pitch like Chinnaswamy, this pace could come in handy as his batting is really very strong. Mohammad Quaid talks about Virat Kohli’s return to form and how important it is for RCB to make the playoffs. He said, “Virat Kohli has been playing amazing cricket for the last 1-2 years, he is in good form. I remember during the Asia Cup when he scored a century against Afghanistan; Since then, he has not looked back. He has been in amazing form since then, and when a player like Virat Kohli is in form, he knows how to score runs in every match. He was also the best player of the tournament during the World Cup. So I think he will continue this amazing form.”

After the introduction of this scheme, it is being said that cricketers can earn at least Rs 60 lakh per match by playing Test cricket. Pujara believes that this decision will encourage young cricketers to play more red-ball cricket as they will normally earn as much money, if not more, than in IPL or franchise cricket. Cheteshwar Pujara praised BCCI’s decision Pujara wrote on social media platform This will definitely reward and encourage those who perform for the country in the Test format!” Just got back from a refreshing trip with the family, and it is even more refreshing to see such a great initiative by @JayShah and @BCCI, It will surely reward and encourage those performing for the country in the purest format of the game! — Cheteshwar Pujara (@cheteshwar1) March 12, 2024 Let us tell you that the 36-year-old has played 103 Test matches for India, but after poor performance in a few series, he was dropped and Yashasvi Jaiswal was given preference before him.

However, considering his experience, the management can include him in the team for the upcoming Australia tour. India will play some test series before that. They are scheduled to host Bangladesh and New Zealand later this year but the BCCI has not confirmed the dates yet. Playing on home soil, the Rohit Sharma-led side will be confident of winning this series as well as winning two consecutive series can help India qualify for the WTC final for the third consecutive time.
