“I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there”- Aakash Chopra said about the leg spinner.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra is surprised to see the name of experienced leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal not in the central contract issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Chopra believes that his not getting a place in the contract list is an indication that the selectors and team management have now moved beyond him. The BCCI announced the central contracts for the 2023–24 season on Wednesday, February 28. Chahal was one of the prominent names who was not in that list. Apart from them, names of Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav were also not in that list. Aakash Chopra was surprised to not see Yuzvendra Chahal’s name in the contract list. Chopra believes that the disappearance of Yuzvendra Chahal’s name from the new contract list is surprising in itself. Chopra said that, “I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Akinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan – their names are not there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal’s name not being there – what does it mean? It seems they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction. This is proof of that. Maybe he might have seen some ray of hope, but it did not happen. His name is not there.” The 33-year-old Chahal was a key part of the Indian team in the limited overs format for a few years between 2016 and 2019. Lately, he has been in and out of the team constantly. Chahal has the experience of 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is, in which he has taken 121 and 96 wickets respectively. According to Chopra, bowling all-rounder Deepak Chahar had a chance to get a central contract, had he not been ruled out of the match due to his father’s illness, his name would have been there too.

“If this happens, Indian cricket will not get the desired result”- Irfan Pathan’s tweet on Ishan and Iyer’s ouster.
Star cricketers Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer have been removed from the central contract of BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India). Team India’s former veteran all-rounder Irfan made a tweet regarding these two players which is now rapidly going viral on social media. BCCI recently announced the contracts for the 2023-24 season, and Kishan-Iyer were not included in the list due to not playing domestic cricket. Irfan Pathan was also a little surprised to see the names of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer not in this list of central contracts. The former all-rounder posted about this on X and expressed hope that both Kishan and Iyer will make a strong comeback for the Indian team. He also talked about how the rules should remain the same for everyone after BCCI mentioned star all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s name in the contract list. Irfan Pathan posted about Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer Irfan Pathan posted an ex and wrote, “Both Shreyas and Ishaan are talented cricketers. Hopefully they will bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red-ball cricket, should he and other players like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when not on national duty? If this is not applied to all, Indian cricket will not be able to achieve the desired results!” They are talented cricketers, both Shreyas and Ishan. Hoping they bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red ball cricket, should he and others like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when they aren’t on national duty? If this… — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) February 29, 2024 The surprising thing is that Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer did not get the central contract because both of them did not play in Ranji Trophy. However, Shreyas Iyer played Ranji Trophy after the South Africa tour and then was also a part of the Test team. Now he is also going to play the semi-finals, but the selectors did the same with him as they did with Ishaan. According to BCCI rules, if a player has played 3 Tests, 8 ODIs or 10 T20I matches from October 1 till the release of the central contract, then he is included in the central contract. Both Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer fit into this. He did not find a place in the list of annual contracts, while Hardik Pandya, who was out of World Cup 2023 after only five matches, has been included in A grade.
Amidst the discussion about HawkEye after Joe Root was given out LBW in the ongoing Test series against India, its founder gave a big statement.
Joe Root was disappointed after being given out LBW in the second innings of the fourth Test in Ranchi. Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So, after English player Joe Root was out LBW in the fourth Test match of this series, there was a lot of discussion about Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS). Let us tell you that in this Test match held in Ranchi, in the 17th over of England’s second innings, Root missed one of Ashwin’s balls, on which Ashwin appealed, but this appeal was rejected by on-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena. However, after this, on Ashwin’s appeal, captain Rohit took DRS review and in Hawk Eye it was found that some part of the ball was hitting the stump along with the line of the wicket. So after this the on-field umpire’s decision was changed, and Root was given out. So, after the end of this match, England captain Ben Stokes was seen being very vocal about the umpire’s call in DRS and in the cricket world, Hawk-Eye, the technology that helps the third umpire in DRS, got embroiled in a lot of controversies. However, now amidst all this, the creator of this technology, Paul Hawkins, has given a big statement. Paul Hawkins gave a big statement regarding Hawk-Eye Let us tell you that amidst these discussions, while talking on ‘The Analyst’ podcast, Hawkins said – To get an accurate decision, first of all you measure the width of the stump on every day of Test cricket, and then whether the ball is in line or not. After this a straight line is formed. This line is very important (which is outside the route). In tennis sometimes you have zero millimeter margin in or out of the line. But there is a rule in tennis that it is not given out until zero margin is achieved. Tennis we just mark bounce marks for this. But only after showing zero millimeter as 1 millimeter, we will be able to show the impact to the audience. It may sound like a bit of a presentation, but it makes a lot of things clear to the audience. If the ball had not come out after falling it would have been more obvious on TV. So you can see more clearly above the line, which automatically happens when the ball is pitched outside the leg stump. We gave the correct answer as per the rules. But after all this we have an opportunity to improve our presentation and things related to it.

IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes gave a surprising statement after the band of ‘Baseball’ started playing
India has defeated England in the ongoing Test series. Ben Stokes (Image Credit- Twitter) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England (IND vs ENG). So far four matches of this series have been played, in which India has won the Test series by winning three matches. At the same time, the performance of the England cricket team in Test cricket in India is being heavily criticized. In Test cricket, England plays attacking cricket, which the cricket world knows as ‘Baseball’. It has proved to be a miserable failure in India. After winning the first match of the Test series, England has faced defeat in three consecutive matches. So now team captain Ben Stokes has given a big reaction to this performance of England. Ben Stokes gave a big statement Let us tell you that in the press conference organized after the Ranchi Test match between India vs England, when Ben Stokes was asked about ruthlessness, he said – What is it, and how does it show itself. Everyone goes into the match with a good mindset. But when we do not get results then people say that we are not ruthless. I really don’t understand it yet. I think we just try to do what we think is the best way to win the match. It is a useless comment that we are not ruthless. I haven’t been able to understand what it means. Stokes further said- We want to win the series by winning every match we play. This is the first time we have lost a series, but we still have many series ahead of us. It is always disappointing to be on a losing team. Cricket is always a game of skill against skill.

The Indian team also lost the important toss in Ranchi and lagged behind in the first innings. This is a great win for the Indian team keeping the future in mind. England wanted Jurel to play attacking cricket after lunch, as this would give him a chance to take wickets. But both of them (Gil and Jurel) together ended everything. Shubman Gill was brilliant and played with control in the match. Vaughan further said about the Test series – There is no doubt that this has been a very competitive series, but the result of the series after four matches shows how well cricket they have really played. We (England) had a lot of challenges during this series, but we were very calm in what we wanted to do on the field. But I am happy to see England’s performance.
