Makhaya Ntini and Thando Ntini (Image Credit- Twitter) A big statement by Thando Ntini, son of former South African cricket team fast bowler Makhaya Ntini, has shaken the cricket world. Thando has said that his father was a victim of racism in the South African team for years. It is noteworthy that Makhaya Ntini played cricket for South Africa for about 13 years and he was the first black cricketer of South Africa, who is remembered in the names of some of the best fast bowlers of the Proteas team. However, now a statement given by his son has created a stir. Thando Ntini’s statement created panic in the cricket world Let us tell you that while talking on The Load Shed podcast, Thando Ntini said about Makhaya Ntini – He (Makhaya) was fighting for his life in the team every day. Being the only (black) player on the team, it was quite disheartening to hear this from him. How many times had he been invited to dinner with those gentlemen. So in the year 2020, when Lungi Ngidi had appealed to the cricket world to stand against racism, in an interview given to the South African Broadcasting Cooperation, Makhaya Ntini had said- I was always alone at that time. No one knocked at my door for dinner. Teammates used to make plans in front of me, but did not include me in it. No one would come to sit with me in the breakfast room. We used to wear the same uniform and sing the same national anthem, but I had to overcome that period. I used to give my kit bag to the bus driver and then run towards the ground. I had to do the same while coming back also.

Is the Indian team management angry with Ishan Kishan? In fact, Ishan Kishan had requested the Indian team management to release him from the Test series against South Africa because he was not getting a chance, which had caused him mental fatigue.

According to PTI, Jharkhand Cricket Association (JCA) has no information about the whereabouts of Ishan Kishan.

There are many talented players waiting for their chance. No captain and coach will say anything, but if you go and tell them that you want to leave because you are not getting matches, then this thing will go against you. By doing this you are pointing fingers at the team management.” 4 Indian players who scored a double century in test cricket at the youngest age These batsmen have scored more runs in IPL than MS Dhoni.

I personally think it was the right time for this change. Shanaka further said about his captaincy – I was never meant to be a captain. I was never ready for it and you know how I got captaincy.

Ranji Trophy 2024: Experienced fast bowler returns to Delhi team, has played 100 tests for India
Veteran Indian cricketer Ishant Sharma is set to feature in Delhi’s upcoming clash against Baroda in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. Ahead of his return to the Indian team, Ishant has been focusing on red ball cricket and played for Delhi against Puducherry. However, he could not take advantage of the opportunity and the visiting team won by nine wickets. After a break of almost a month, the 35-year-old is ready to make a comeback and may get a chance to replace Prince Yadav in the playing eleven. He will lead the fast bowling unit along with Navdeep Saini and Himanshu Chauhan. Meanwhile, Ishant’s return will strengthen Delhi’s bowling line-up, which is going through a bad phase. Delhi team is currently at sixth position in the Elite Group D points table. However, their recent win over Uttarakhand should give them some confidence ahead of them in the upcoming fixtures. The team’s new captain Himmat Singh played a memorable inning of 194 runs in the last match, while Yash Dhull and Lakshya Thareja made important contributions in the first and second innings respectively. Saini, Hrithik Shaukeen and Himanshu Chauhan looked impressive in the bowling, which is another plus point for the team. The cold and humid weather in Delhi is expected to help the fast bowlers and Ishant’s experience here will come in handy for the team as he is used to playing in such conditions. The fast bowler will be desperate to prove his worth and get back into the national team, which is already loaded with quality fast bowlers. Meanwhile, the toss was delayed due to bad light. If the sun does not shine during the match and there is moisture under the pitch, then fast bowlers can get a lot of expectations from the pitch. However, it depends on when and if the game starts. There is also a possibility of rain on the third day of the match.
