Aakash Chopra slammed the management for the continuous changes in the batting lineup of the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour
India performed poorly in the ODI series and were defeated by Sri Lanka 2–0. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India’s tour of Sri Lanka ended on 7 August. In this tour, India clean swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20 series. However, India’s performance in the ODI series was quite poor and Sri Lanka defeated them 2-0. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team could not perform well in the ODI format. In this ODI series, it was seen that a lot of changes have been made in the batting lineup of the Indian players. Former player Aakash Chopra put forward his point of view regarding this. In the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag also bowled very well and took important wickets for their team. However, in this tour, the players of the Indian team failed to bat well. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Number four has now become a revolving door as we have given batting order to different players in every match. What is the idea of making a player like KL Rahul bat at number 6 or number seven? Why don’t you fight from the beginning? In India, KL Rahul was included in the playing XI for only two matches and then he was dropped. It was really surprising to see this because KL Rahul was in his plans since 2023. This is also because no one else had scored more runs than him in the middle order since 2023. Number four has now become a matter of concern for the Indian team Let us tell you, in the first ODI match played between India and Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar batted at number four but he scored only five runs. After this, Shivam Dubey was given this important responsibility in the second ODI but he could not even open his account and India lost the match. In the third and final ODI match, Rishabh Pant was included in the team and was given batting at number four but he returned to the pavilion after scoring good runs. The Indian team will have to give a chance to such a player in this order as soon as possible, who can bat well at number four and win the hearts of all the fans. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Good days have returned for Sri Lanka cricket, these three positive things happened for the Lankan team amidst the series win
Sri Lanka won the bilateral series against India after 27 years. Srilanka Cricket (Pic Source-X) Sri Lanka defeated India by 110 runs in the third ODI played on 7 August and won this spectacular series by 2-0. Sri Lankan players performed very well in this entire series. Not only this, Sri Lanka won the bilateral series against India after 27 years. The best thing for Sri Lanka in this ODI series was that their spinners bowled very well and put pressure on the Indian team’s batsmen. India’s batsmen failed to make a mark in this series. The Sri Lankan team will be very happy with its performance. With this, today we tell you about three positive things that were seen in this historic ODI series win for Sri Lanka. 1- Strength in the top order Avishka Fernando (Pic Source-X) In this series, there was a lot of pressure on the top 3 batsmen of Sri Lanka because the team’s performance against the Indian bowlers has been very poor in the recent past. However, in this ODI series, the trio of Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis batted very well and did not lose their wickets quickly against the Indian bowlers. In the first two ODIs, one of these three batsmen batted for about 20 to 25 overs and scored runs consistently for the team. In the third and final ODI, all three batsmen troubled the Indian team’s fast bowlers a lot. In the third ODI, Avishka Fernando played a match-winning innings of 96 runs while Kusal Mendis scored 59 runs. Pathum Nissanka played an innings of 45 runs.
IND vs SL: Is this player’s last ODI for Team India? Champions Trophy dream shattered
Shivam Dubey’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dubey has played 4 ODI matches for India so far. In this, he has scored 43 runs and taken one wicket at a poor average of 10.75. Shivam Dubey (Source X) On 8 August, despite having star players, the strong Indian team had to face a humiliating defeat of 0-2 in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. With this, India has lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka after 27 years. Team India included young players as well as veteran players. But, they could not perform well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Amidst all this, the question has arisen whether any player of Team India has played the last ODI match of his career. Shivam Dube is coming under the scanner of this question. Did Shivam Dubey play his last ODI for India? The Indian player was given a chance to play continuously in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, this player has broken the trust of Team India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma with his flop performance. Now there are rumors that this was Shivam Dubey’s last ODI match for India. It is almost impossible for Dubey to get a chance in India’s ODI team in the future. How was Shivam Dubey’s performance on the Sri Lanka tour? All-rounder Shivam Dubey has performed poorly in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Shivam Dubey could not get success in both bowling and batting. Shivam Dubey missed the chance to become the hero of the team by scoring 25, 0 and 9 runs in the three matches of the ODI series. Shivam Dubey could not perform as claimed in bowling as well. On the basis of all these statistics, it is doubtful that Shivam Dubey will get a chance in the ODI team. It will be difficult if Hardik Pandya comes Hardik Pandya did not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Due to this, Shivam Dubey was given a chance as an all-rounder in the ODI team. But Shivam Dubey performed poorly and could not maintain the trust of the coach and captain. In such a situation, if Hardik returns to Team India’s ODI team, Shivam Dubey will lose his place. It is very difficult for Shivam Dubey to remain in the ODI team along with Hardik. Shivam Dubey may miss the golden opportunity of Champions Trophy The Champions Trophy tournament will be held in February-March 2025 next year. Team India will play the next ODI match in this tournament. Hardik Pandya will play as an all-rounder for Team India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Ravindra Jadeja will get a chance in the top order. In such a situation, players like Shivam Dubey, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant may miss out due to their poor performance. Especially Shivam Dube’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dube has played 4 ODI matches for India so…
Aakash Chopra lashed out at Team India’s bowling in the third ODI against Sri Lanka, said this big thing
Sri Lanka defeated India by 110 runs in the third ODI. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) The third and final match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) was played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, August 7. Let us tell you that in this match, host Sri Lanka made a big upset and won a big victory against Team India by 110 runs. So with this win, not only did Sri Lanka win the match, but also won the ODI series against the Indian cricket team after 27 years. Batting first, Sri Lanka set a target of 249 runs for the Indian team to win, while chasing which Team India was reduced to just 138 runs in 26.1 overs. On the other hand, after this poor performance of the Indian team in the match, a big statement has come from former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra. Chopra says that the Indian bowlers were not cruel in this match. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement After the end of the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel- We were not able to finish Sri Lanka’s innings in bowling. There seemed to be a sense of complacency that we would get wickets anyway and if we did not get wickets, we would chase the runs anyway. There was a lack of brutality in bowling. Chopra further said- I think we outplay the opponent and play spin very well on flat wickets. Our bowlers also bowl better than them on such pitches. However, when the pitches start turning, our batting becomes normal and the difference in bowling quality reduces. So, this is a problem they have to solve.
“It’s a joke…” Why was KL Rahul dropped from the team for the third ODI? Former cricketer demands an answer
Dodda Ganesh has criticised the Indian management for their decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former India fast bowler Dodda Ganesh has questioned the decision to drop KL Rahul and replace him with Shivam Dubey in the ODI match against Sri Lanka. Ganesh called the move ridiculous and said that KL Rahul had captained India in this format only a short time ago. Sri Lanka won the series 2-0 by defeating India by 110 runs in the third and final ODI played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, 7 August. Batting first, the host team scored 248 runs. After this, Dunith Welalage took 5 wickets for 27 runs in 5.1 overs and the Indian team collapsed for 138 runs in 26.1 overs. The Men in Blue made two changes to their playing XI for this do-or-die encounter. Rishabh Pant replaced KL Rahul, while Riyan Parag replaced Arshdeep Singh. Ganesh on his X handle has criticised the Indian management for the decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. Ganesh wrote in his post “Only a crazy person would replace KL Rahul with Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag for such an important match. Can’t understand what is happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and suddenly, after a flop performance, he is out of the playing XI. What a joke. Only in a crazy universe will u have Dube and Riyan Parag playing ahead of KL Rahul, in a decider ODI. Don’t understand what’s happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and all of a sudden, one failure & he is out of the playing XI. Ridiculous is an understatement. #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 The 51-year-old former Karnataka fast bowler also warned that dropping players after one or two failures could create a sense of insecurity in them. He wrote in the next post- “If a player who had great success last year can be dropped on a technicality after one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity among the players. Well, you can’t build a cricket team like that. Who would have thought that India would lose so easily to Sri Lanka?” If a player who’s had great success in the last year can be dropped after technically one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity amongst players. Well, you can’t build cricket teams like this. Who would’ve thought that India would lose to SL so convincingly? #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 What is your opinion? Was it the right move to keep KL Rahul out of the team in the last decisive match?
USA announced the team for the limited overs tour against Netherlands, Saurabh Netravalkar did not get a place due to this reason
The command of the USA team has been handed over to Monak Patel. USA Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) The USA cricket team has announced the team for the upcoming limited over series against the Netherlands. It is worth noting that this tour of USA will start with the first match on 21 August. The team was recently seen playing in the T20 World Cup which ended in June. Left-arm fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar, who performed brilliantly for USA in this tournament, has not got a place in the Netherlands tour. It is worth noting that Saurabh has also played Under-19 cricket for India. However, he has not been included in this tour due to parental leave. Also, Andries Gous has been ruled out of the ODI series due to parental leave, but he will join the team for the T20 series. However, the team’s all-rounder and former Kiwi cricketer Corey Anderson has not got a place in the team for this tour. Let us tell you that Anderson’s performance in the T20 World Cup was quite disappointing. Apart from Anderson, spin all-rounder Nisarg Patel, who was part of the USA team in the T20 World Cup, has also not got a place. USA team for limited overs tour against Netherlands For ODIs: Monank Patel (captain), Aaron Jones (vice-captain), Smit Patel, Abhishek Paradkar, Harmeet Singh, Juanoy Drysdale, Jasdeep Singh, Milind Kumar, Nostusha Kenjige, Saiteeja Mukkamalla, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Utkarsh Srivastava, Yasir Mohammad. For T20: Monank Patel (captain), Aaron Jones (vice-captain), Andries Goose, Abhishek Paradkar, Harmeet Singh, Juanoy Drysdale, Jasdeep Singh, Muhammad Ali Khan, Nitish Kumar, Nostusha Kenjige, Saiteeja Mukkamalla, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir, Utkarsh Srivastava, Yasir Mohammad. A historic victory was registered in T20 World Cup 2024 On the other hand, recently the co-host of T20 World Cup 2024, USA, attracted the attention of the cricket world by performing brilliantly in the tournament. Who can forget USA’s victory against Pakistan in the tournament. Pakistan was out of the T20 World Cup after losing this match. So now the USA team would like to perform something similar on the Netherlands tour.
Who will become the white-ball coach of the England team? English players will tremble on hearing the name
The search for a new head coach began after England men’s director of cricket Rob Key said the team needed a “new direction”, with the next target being the Champions Trophy in February. England Cricket Team (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes there is no better option than Andy Flower for England’s vacant white-ball head coach position but is doubtful whether he will get the job. Notably, Matthew Mott stepped down last week after the team’s mixed performance in two years. He led England to T20 World Cup success in 2022, although his performance in the last two major limited overs tournaments was disappointing. The search for a new head coach began after England men’s director of cricket Rob Key said the team needed a “new direction”, with the next target being the Champions Trophy in February. Nasir Hussain told who is the best option to become a coach Former English cricketer Michael Atherton says that Andy Flower should be reappointed as the head coach of England. Supporting his teammate, Nasser Hussain also confirmed this and named him. Let us tell you that when Andy Flower was the coach of the English team, during his tenure, England won the T20 World Cup 2010 and also became the number-1 team in the Test format. However, despite achieving so much success, Flower did not want to remain the coach, because during his tenure many players were not happy with the tough training sessions. Hussain told the PA news agency: “If I ask Andy Flower to become the coach, people will not agree to this. Andy was earlier against franchises and tournaments like IPL but now it is not so. Now he has travelled around the world, won for most of the franchises and has done some very good things.” “He’s a fantastic coach. You just have to look at his CV and if Rob (England team director) has pulled out Andy Flower’s CV, there’s hardly a better choice, but again that’s only if Andy wants to do it.” “All are very good candidates and I reiterate, the job is not to find a candidate, but to find a candidate who really wants to do the job.”
Priya Punia’s crucial half-century innings did not come in handy, Australia ‘A’ team won the first T20
Australia ‘A’ Women’s team won the match by five runs. Priya Punia. (Photo Source: Twitter) The first match of the three-match T20 series was played between Australia ‘A’ women’s team and India ‘A’ team today i.e. on 7 August at Alan Border Field in Brisbane. In this match, India ‘A’ won the toss and decided to bowl first. Tahlia Wilson and Katie Mack started very slowly from the host side but they kept the net run rate above 6. Tahlia Wilson played a brilliant innings of 50 runs in 34 balls in this match. Not only this, Tahlia Wilson shared a 74-run partnership for the first wicket with Katie Mack. Mack scored 39 runs in 31 balls in this match. However, after this the Indian team made a comeback and took wickets at regular intervals. At one point the hosts had lost five wickets for 116 runs in 14.5 overs, but after this there was an explosive partnership of 47 runs for the sixth wicket between Nicole Fartom and Maddy Darke, due to which Australia ‘A’, batting first against India ‘A’, scored 163 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. For India ‘A’ team, Sayaka Ishak took three wickets while Sayali Sadgire took two wickets. The Indian team’s bowlers did their job quite well. Australia ‘A’ team won this match by five runs Chasing the target, India lost Shweta Sehrawat in the fourth over. The team’s score was 27 runs at that time. Not only this, Uma Chhetri also got out soon and India’s score was 36 runs for two wickets. However, after this Priya Punia and Tanuja Kanwar batted very well and made an excellent partnership of 64 runs for the third wicket. Tanuja Kanwar scored 22 runs in this match. However, the most disappointing thing for the Indian team was that Kiran Navgire and Sajeevan Sanjana were run out at crucial times. Priya Punia played a brilliant innings of 76 runs in 59 balls for the team but she failed to make her team win. Sophie Day and Maitlan Brown took 2-2 wickets for Australia.
