(Image Source: Getty Images/YouTube) Former captain of the Indian cricket team and great wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni (MS Dhoni) was one of the best captains in the history of Indian cricket and one of the best the game has ever seen, and Praveen Kumar (Praveen Kumar) also believes the same. MS Dhoni led India to many ICC trophies under his captaincy, but his natural captaincy and amazing ability to analyze the game from behind the stumps is completely different from other captains and legends of the game. Praveen Kumar praised MS Dhoni’s captaincy When Dhoni was the captain of Team India, one of his most trusted bowlers was Praveen Kumar. Let us tell you, this fast bowler from Uttar Pradesh played for India mostly under the captaincy of former Indian captain from 2007 to 2012.

Meanwhile, praising the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Praveen Kumar said that the great wicketkeeper-batsman knew how to get the best performance from his players, and was also a great help to the bowlers. ‘There is no answer from Mahi Bhai’ Praveen Kumar said on Lallantop YouTube channel, “There is no answer to Mahi Bhai. He knew very well how to use which player and when to use it. He used to set the field and ask the bowler to bowl. And a good captain is the one who gives the ball to the bowler and only asks him to bowl, then it is up to the bowler to understand what he has to bowl. Yes, you as a bowler you can definitely tell the captain, for example, where the slip should be placed, slightly wide or not, because only the bowler knows how much the ball can swing after being pitched, But apart from this, Mahi Bhai also knew how to set the field very well.” Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket 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 which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI

If you are making the team on the basis of performance in the last T20 World Cup, then both Rohit and Rahul did not perform well. Both are in the same boat. After that, if we look at the previous ODI World Cup, both Rohit and Rahul have performed well. What are Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill doing in the T20I team? Then both names should have been in the T20I team. Rahul still remains in the lower order and bats. So you could feed him there also. Well, Rahul is not in the team, but Rohit has been selected. Virat Kohli is also making a comeback. The interesting thing is that for the last one year you did not even want to keep Virat and Rohit in the T20I team. But now suddenly both are back.

IND v AFG: Rohit-Virat will open against Afghanistan! Apart from these, India has two more options

Keeping the T20 World Cup 2024 in mind, the BCCI Selection Committee announced a strong Indian team for this series. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after a break of more than a year. Since now Rohit and Virat have returned to the T-20 team and Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also in the team. So now the question in everyone’s mind is, who will open for India in this series against Afghanistan. 3 opening combinations that India can try in the Afghanistan series 3 possible opening combinations for IND v AFG 1) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can open against Afghanistan Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Twitter) Rohit Sharma has returned to the T-20 team as captain. He has been India’s best opener in T20I cricket and it should be no surprise if he opens the batting against Afghanistan. His opening partner should be Virat Kohli as he had a great season as an opener with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. Kohli scored many centuries as an opener. Also, he has formed some great partnerships with Rohit Sharma in international cricket. If the duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma gets going, it will be a nightmare for any bowling unit in the world. India should have the best two batsmen in its team as openers. 2) Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Twitter) 2023 has been a great year for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the opening pair in ODI cricket. He also opened for India in Tests. Perhaps India can now try this pair in T-20 format also. Shubman Gill was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2023. He scored almost 900 runs while opening for Gujarat Titans. The Prince of Indian cricket already has a T20I century to his name, and playing alongside Rohit Sharma will help him become a better batsman. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also feels that Gill will open with Rohit in the T20 series between India and Afghanistan. 3) Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) If India wants a left-handed-right-handed opening combination in the T20 World Cup 2024, then it should try Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as openers against Afghanistan. Two batsmen from Mumbai open for India in Test cricket. During the absence of Rohit Sharma in the T20 team, Yashasvi played some brilliant innings for the Indian team. Both Jaiswal and Sharma have an aggressive approach, which can help India score big in the powerplay overs.

IND v AFG: Team India’s best playing XI for the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan

Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Senior Men’s Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 16-member Indian team for the T-20 series against Afghanistan starting from January 11. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav could not be a part of this series due to injuries. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after almost 14 months. Now the question is, what will be India’s playing XI in the first match of the T20 series against Afghanistan to be played from January 11? Who will get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav? For this the team management will have to put a lot of thinking. IND v AFG: Team India’s Best Playing XI Openers: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal In the first T20 to be played against Afghanistan in Mohali. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal can enter the opening along with him. He has been performing brilliantly in this format for some time now. Along with this, he also gives a combination of left and right in the top order. In such a situation, Shubhman Gill may have to wait. Apart from his century, Shubman Gill has not performed much in T2oI in this format and his last few innings have been quite worrying. Although this youngster will soon stand on his feet, but looking at the current combination of the team, it seems that he may have to sit for the time being. Middle Order: Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh Virat Kohli Performs well in the top order, but against Afghanistan he may have to bat at number 3. His gear in the middle overs and his game against spin will have to improve. Without Suryakumar, Tilak Verma is likely to get a few more chances to prove himself. The young left-hander has been sent up and down the order for quite some time now, and number 4 could be ideal for him. He will also serve as the sixth bowling option. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers who have been included in the squad. Sanju Samson has played more T20I cricket in recent times, but he can still fit into the team. He recently scored his first international century. Rinku Singh has been brilliant since his debut in international cricket and it is almost certain that he will play in the middle order. He will play the role of finisher for the team. All-rounder: Axar Patel In this playing XI Akshar Patel Washington will be ahead of Sundar. The left-handed batsman showed better bowling against Australia and he would like to continue that form further. He would like more opportunities to spend some time in the middle while batting. Bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar (Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar) India has selected only three fast bowlers in the team, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh. These three need to play to strengthen the team in the bowling…

“I am trying my best to be available for selection, but…”- Mohammed Shami said about his recovery.

Shami, 33, has been out of action since the 2023 ODI World Cup final due to an ankle injury. Shami was then ruled out of the entire South African tour, which included the drawn two-Test series. Meanwhile, in some media reports this It has been learned that the right-arm fast bowler will not be able to play in the first two Tests of the England series. I want to be fit before the Test series against England- Mohammed Shami Speaking to India Today after receiving the prestigious Arjuna Award, Shami answered a question on his availability for the England Test. Responding to this he said, “I am trying my best to be available for selection for the England Test series, but Test matches are a longer format so you don’t want to be in the team with any doubts.” Apart from this, Shami also told about his plans for the T20 World Cup to be held in June. He said, “Whenever it comes to T20, sometimes I do not understand whether I am in the scheme of things or not. But I think before the T20 World Cup you have the IPL and this is the best opportunity to bring momentum, and if the management asks me to play, I will be available.” Before the England Test series, India will play three T20 matches against Afghanistan at home, with the first match being played on Thursday, January 11. Like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Shami also last played a T20 match against England in the 2022 World Cup, where India lost.
