Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Ahead of IPL 2024, famous cricket commentator Aakash Chopra expects the Mumbai Indians duo, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma to form a strong opening partnership. Kishan impressed everyone with his performances in IPL 2023, scoring 454 runs in 15 innings that season at a respectable average of 30.27 and a strike rate of 142.76. In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80. Chopra’s pre-season rankings have Yashasvi Jaiswal-Jos Buttler and Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway as the top-2 opening pairs for IPL 2024, while Kishan-Rohit are at number three in that list. Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team. In such a situation, as soon as the IPL season starts, all eyes will be on the opening pair of Mumbai Indians who will rock the stage and stake their claim on the international stage. Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”

He is now Australia’s leading red-ball player. Harry Brook plays cricket with the red ball. David Warner played a lot of Test cricket but he was one of the best white ball players.

There is no reason to say that you can play one format and not the other.” Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were dropped from BCCI’s central contract for not playing first class cricket.

He compared the young wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni. However, Sourav Ganguly is not happy with his statement and has now given a strong reply to Jurel’s comparison with Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly’s opinion on comparison between MS Dhoni and Dhruv Jurel While talking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “MS Dhoni is a player in a different league. There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.” In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni. I know there can never be another MSD, but you know he has the presence of mind, MSD was like that when he started and Jurel has the awareness of the game. He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.
