T20 World Cup 2024: Tim Paine’s big statement came on Australia’s defeat against Afghanistan
Australia was knocked out of the T20 World Cup after losing against Afghanistan AUS vs AFG (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 ended with the victory of the Indian team. India, England, Afghanistan and South Africa made it to the semi-finals. However, when the tournament started, no one thought that Afghanistan would make it to the last four. Let us tell you that after the team’s amazing performance in the group stage, the Afghan team made it to the T20 World Cup semi-finals for the first time, and then showed amazing performance in the semi-finals and defeated a strong team like Australia by 21 runs, knocking them out of the tournament. With this win, Afghanistan also avenged their crushing defeat against Australia in the World Cup 2023. Also, Australia had refused to play a bilateral series against Afghanistan in Afghanistan. The biggest reason behind this was the Taliban’s ban on women’s participation in sports. Due to this, Cricket Australia refused to send the team to Afghanistan. On the other hand, now a big statement has come from former Australian captain Tim Paine on Australia’s defeat. Tim Paine gave a big statement on Australia’s defeat in T20 World Cup Let us tell you that recently former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Tim Paine, in an interview with Crictracker, said about Australia’s defeat to Afghanistan – I do not believe that we do not play bilateral matches with them. I think Afghanistan played really well in the T20 World Cup in conditions that suited them and they are getting better and better. There is no doubt that they have a lot of depth in their team now. Paine further said- They now have some players who can take the game away from you with the bat and obviously they always have Rashid Khan, who can easily win you the game. They can do better with the ball at any level and T20 cricket is one of their strong sides.
In an exclusive conversation with Crictracker, Tim Paine made a big revelation about sledging with Virat Kohli

Before the four-match series, the media was keeping an eye on his every move. He was criticized and the Australian players left no stone unturned in sledging him. However, Kohli was not affected by all these things at that time. The then 25-year-old Kohli showed his ability and scored 692 runs while Team India was struggling. The sledging from the Australian players made him stronger, which resulted in him being the second-highest run-scorer of the series. Since that series, there has been a decrease in sledging by Australian players towards Kohli or Indian cricketers. Now once again the teams of India and Australia are ready for the Border-Gavaskar series in November, 2024. Before this high profile series, Tim Paine has said that sledging does not matter to Kohli. He also revealed that when he was a keeper, he tried to distract the cricketers. Apart from this, he used to get angry when former cricketers advised the Australian players not to sledge Kohli. Tim Paine’s exclusive interview with CricTracker In an exclusive interview with Crictracker, Paine said, “People used to say, don’t sledge Virat. If you don’t sledge Virat, most of the time he still keeps scoring runs. So it doesn’t matter whether you are saying something to him or not. I will not try to provoke Virat, but if possible I will try to distract him. If you can distract him even a little bit, he can play a bad shot or lose his concentration. But when people used to say, don’t sledge him, I used to get very angry.” Let us tell you that before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2018, Michael Clarke had advised Australia not to sledge Kohli and even at that time Tim Paine had said that his team did not want to provoke the Indian captain. However, after the series, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag had said that the Australian players were soft towards India. He said that the host team was soft towards the guests considering the IPL contracts of some players.
