What is the big difference between the captaincy of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh made shocking revelations
According to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of both. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are known as great captains in the history of Indian cricket. Both have the tag of World Cup winning captain in front of their names. Harbhajan Singh has the experience of playing under the leadership of both MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, according to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of the two. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. What did Harbhajan Singh say about MS Dhoni’s captaincy? Harbhajan Singh said, “Dhoni and Rohit are both different types of leaders. MS Dhoni will never go to a fielder and ask, ‘Which fielding do you want?’ He gives you a chance to learn from mistakes.” Bhajji explained by telling an anecdote “I remember one match, in which I was fielding at short fine leg and MS Dhoni was keeping. Shardul Thakur was bowling and on the first ball Kane Williamson hit him for a boundary. The next ball was also of the same length and Williamson played the same shot. I went to MS and asked him to tell Shardul to bowl a different length. MS told me, ‘Paaji if I tell him right now, he will never learn. Let him learn on his own.’ His thinking was that when Shardul gets hit for boundaries, he will learn quickly. This was the MS Dhoni way.” What did Harbhajan Singh say about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy? Talking about Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh said- “Rohit is very different. He will talk to every player. He is the kind of player who will put his hand on your shoulder and tell you what he wants from you. He will make you believe that yes, you can do it.” Captaincy in Test cricket has made Rohit Sharma an even better captain: Harbhajan Singh He said, “The biggest change in Rohit came when he started captaining in Test cricket. As a Test captain, you learn a lot. There are many moments in T20 that you ignore, but you cannot do that in Test cricket. In Test cricket, the captain runs everything. His strategy and its implementation are very important to win Test matches, this is what makes you a great leader. Steve Waugh’s name immediately comes to my mind, because he was very good at captaincy. If you are performing well as a captain in Test cricket, then it becomes easier to captain in T20 and ODIs.”
“We will know if they can replace them or not”- DK reveals the names of Pujara and Rahane’s replacements
Dinesh Karthik will be seen playing in Legends League Cricket. Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Getty Images) At the end of the year 2024, Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Test Series. On this tour, Team India will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The Indian team has managed to beat the Kangaroos on their own land the last two times, so this time Team India will be eyeing to beat Australia in their own home for the third time in a row. However, this task is not going to be easy for Team India. In fact, many Indian players who were part of the last two Australian tours are no longer part of the current Test team. In such a situation, Team India will have to look for new players. The biggest tension in front of captain Rohit Sharma will be to find replacements for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Both these players played an important role in India’s victory on the last Australia tour. Recently, when former Team India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was asked about the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on the Australia tour, he named Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Dinesh Karthik’s statement on the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane During a Q&A session with Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Both these batsmen have done really well against England in the recent home series earlier in the year. I think both of them will definitely fly to Australia and try to do their best. We will know if they can replace both Ajinkya and Pujji (Pujara). They have a big role to play, but they have the quality and caliber.” Let us tell you that the doors of return to Team India have closed for Rahane and Pujara. Ajinkya Rahane recently scored his 40th first class century against Glamorgan while playing for Leicestershire in Division 2 of County Cricket in England. However, Pujara has been away from competitive cricket for a long time. BCCI did not give place to both Rahane and Pujara in the four squads selected for the Duleep Trophy.

“I just want to play and try” – Root said on breaking Sachin’s record of most runs
Joe Root has scored 12,377 runs in Test cricket. Joe Root Sachin Tendulkar (Photo Source:: X/Twitter) England’s star batsman Joe Root is in excellent form these days. Looking at the way he is scoring runs, it would not be wrong to say that he will soon come close to Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of scoring the most runs in Test cricket. After scoring centuries in consecutive innings in the Lord’s Test, Root has reached the 7th position in this list with 12,377 runs. There is now only a difference of 3544 runs between him and Sachin Tendulkar (15,921) who is at number one in the list. Looking at the way Root has been batting for some time now, it can be said that in the coming three to four years he can come close to this record of Sachin Tendulkar and if he continues to play like this, then he can break this record of Sachin Tendulkar in terms of making runs. Joe Root gave a big statement on breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record Meanwhile, when Root was asked if he has his eyes on Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of most Test runs, he replied that he just wants to play and contribute as much as possible to the team’s victory. In a video posted on social media by England Cricket, Joe Root is seen saying, “I just want to play and try and contribute to the team and score as many runs as I can and see where we reach.” He further said, “But there is no better feeling than this, I mean, it is obviously amazing when you know you have scored a century and you are lying if you say it is not a big deal. But there is no better feeling than winning a Test match. So the more it can impact games and the more you can contribute to the team, the better it is. So that will be the main focus. And hopefully more days like this will come with that mindset.” 1️⃣ Sachin Tendulkar – 15921 runs⬆️ Joe Root – 12377 runs Half an eye on Sachin’s record, Joe? — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 31, 2024
