Answer: I think the way Morne van Wyk played was amazing to watch. It was a tough pitch, day match. He kept wicket for the first 20 overs, then opened the innings and finished the match. So, so far in this LLC I have not seen such a great innings. Second question: What changes have you seen in the fielding of the team after T. Dilip came to India? Answer: They are doing a very good job. They have a big role. Suryakumar Yadav took a catch in the T20 World Cup, which was the turning point.

The second name I will take is Rishabh Pant, as a wicketkeeper, I have never seen Rishabh Pant drop a catch.

IND vs BAN: “Bowling always comes first for me…”, Ashwin’s statement after scoring a century and taking 6 wickets in the Chennai Test
I mostly think like a bowler, but when I go out on the field with the bat in my hand, I have tried to think like a batsman – R Ashwin R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the first Test match against Bangladesh by 280 runs.

I think like most bowlers: Ravichandran Ashwin After the victory in the first Test match against Bangladesh, Ravichandran Ashwin said, The innings on Day 1 was quite special, I didn’t realise it until Day 2. I am glad that I took a couple of wickets today as well. I make my living by bowling, so bowling always comes first. I think like a bowler most of the time, but when I go out on the field with the bat in my hand, I have tried to think like a batsman. Batting is something that comes naturally, but I still struggle with letting my thoughts get ahead of me sometimes. I have tried to manage it. Over the last few years, I have managed to separate the two, but it is a process. The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played in Kanpur from October 27.

“Arshdeep Singh will be lethal in red ball cricket as well: Exclusive interview of Amitoj Singh”
Will Arshdeep, who has performed brilliantly in white-ball cricket, be able to fill the void of India’s left-arm fast bowler in Test cricket? Amitoze Singh on Arshdeep Singh (Source Former left-arm fast bowler Zaheer Khan played an important role in the Indian team’s victory in the ICC ODI World Cup 2011. Zaheer Khan’s performance in international cricket has always been excellent and he left his mark against the batsmen of the opposing team. Zaheer Khan always kept the pressure on the players of the opposing team with his reverse swing. But after the departure of Zaheer Khan, Team India is missing a left-arm fast bowler a lot. Jaspreet Bumrah is leading the pace attack well but the advantage of being a left-arm fast bowler is not only for the team but also for the bowler. Amitoj Singh made a big statement about Arshdeep Singh’s career It is worth noting that Arshdeep Singh, who comes from Punjab, has almost cemented his place in Team India’s white ball cricket and is being seen as Team India’s next Zaheer Khan. Arshdeep Singh has also played a role in Team India’s victorious campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, he is still away from red ball cricket and many experts believe that Arshdeep is capable of filling the void left by Zaheer Khan. Amitoj Singh, a 35-year-old domestic cricketer from India, is currently playing with Manipal Tigers in the Legends League Cricket 2024 tournament. He is one of the well-known cricketers from Punjab. In an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he has shared his views on the left-arm fast bowler’s spot in Team India. Question: India is lacking left-handed bowlers since the departure of Zaheer Khan in Team India, how do you see Arshdeep Singh? Amitoze Singh’s answer: “I think Arshdeep Singh can do as well in the red ball as he is doing in the white ball. He needs a little more consistency and a little more performance in the Ranji Trophy, due to which he can get a breakthrough in red ball cricket.” “The way he swings the white ball as well, I think he will be very useful and lethal as a left-arm fast bowler in whatever conditions there are in England and abroad.”

Asghar Afghan Exclusive Part 1: Afghanistan will defeat India too, cricket will not be banned in the country…
It is difficult to beat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah then India will face problems – Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Photo Source: Getty Images) Afghanistan’s veteran player Asghar Afghan is playing for Gujarat Giants in Legends League Cricket. Asghar Afghan retired from international cricket after the T20 World Cup 2021. He has played 6 Tests, 114 ODIs and 75 T20 matches for Afghanistan. Recently, Asghar Afghan talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. He made a big statement about Afghanistan’s first ODI win against South Africa recently. Afghan also made a big claim that Afghanistan will now defeat India as well. If the match had been played between South Africa and England, perhaps the result would have been different- Asghar Afghan The three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and South Africa is being played in the UAE. In the first match of the series, Afghanistan defeated South Africa for the first time in the ODI format by winning by 6 wickets. At the same time, the team then won the second ODI by 177 runs and achieved the biggest victory in this format. Talking about Afghanistan’s performance in the ODI series against South Africa, Asghar Afghan said, Teams face difficulties in playing against Afghanistan in Sharjah because it is our home ground and we know how the wicket is at any given time. If this match had taken place in South Africa and England, the result would have been different. But there is no doubt that Afghanistan has played great cricket and bowled brilliantly. If we look at it on paper, the players of the Afghanistan team have more experience than South Africa. Because apart from one or two players, many players play a lot of cricket. The team will now defeat India as well- Afghan Asghar Afghan was asked another question whether Afghanistan can beat India in the upcoming series, to which the veteran replied, You can’t say anything in cricket. The match between Afghanistan and India was tied in the 2018 Asia Cup. Recently, the last match of the T20 series of the India tour was tied and a super over was played. There is no doubt that Afghanistan is a great team. You cannot say whether you will be able to defeat this team or not because cricket is a day game, whoever plays well will win the match. If a series is played between India and Afghanistan, then Afghanistan will give them a tough challenge. It is difficult to defeat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah, then India will have to face difficulties. These are false rumours- Asghar Afghan said about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan There have been reports in the media for a long time that cricket may be banned in Afghanistan. Let us tell you, the Taliban government has already banned women from playing cricket. Further, the third question asked to Asghar Afghan in the exclusive interview was about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan, to which he…
