DTVHINDIAakash 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?

Many Indian batsmen have been seen bowling on the Sri Lanka tour. Sairaj Bahutule (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. So, during this tour of the Indian team, a big statement has come from Sairaj Bahutule, who is playing the role of interim bowling coach for this tour. Bahutule has also described the batsmen of the Indian team as good bowlers. It is worth noting that a three-match ODI series is currently going on between India and Sri Lanka. While Shubman Gill was seen bowling in the first ODI match, Rinku Singh and new T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav were also seen bowling in the third T20 match. Sairaj Bahutule gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka on August 2, Sairaj Bahutule said during the post-match, as quoted by India Today – I think our batsmen are also good bowlers. Their first skill is batting, so they do not focus much on bowling, but they have the skill, the more they practice, the better they will do. Bahutule further said- We saw this during the T20 series, the way Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in the team’s victory by contributing in bowling. Similarly, Shubman Gill was given the ball in this ODI match. Seeing this, it seems that in the coming time it is going to be completely an all-rounder’s game.

“We are very concerned about security….”- Bangladesh seeks security advisor from government before going on Pakistan tour
Bangladesh team will soon tour Pakistan. Bangladesh Cricket Team (Photo Source: The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan. There is no clarity yet as to whether this ICC tournament will be played fully in Pakistan or in a hybrid model. In fact, due to security concerns, it seems impossible for India to go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the safety of its players in Pakistan, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has also sought a security advisor from its government for the upcoming tour. Let us tell you, Bangladesh has to tour Pakistan this month. Bangladesh has to play a two-match Test series against Pakistan at their home which will be a part of the ICC World Test Championship. Due to the political situation in Pakistan, many teams do not want to go there to play a series. The Bangladesh team will tour Pakistan on 17 August and will play a two-match Test series against the host team. The first match of the series will be played in Rawalpindi (21-25 August) and the second match will be played in Karachi (30 August-3 September). BCB President Jalal Yunus made a big statement before the tour “Look, it is their (Pakistan’s) job to provide security and we went there because they assured us of state-level security and the tour was planned after their assurance. I think you must have seen in the Asia Cup that the Bangladesh team went to Pakistan and they provided us state-level security and we agreed to go on this tour because they assured us of that,” BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus told reporters on Wednesday. He further said, “You must have seen in recent times that some international teams have also visited (Pakistan) and they are quite happy with the security provided. We are also very concerned about security but after knowing everything and getting assurance from them about security, we have decided to tour. Also, we have requested the government to provide us a security advisor during the tour who will keep communicating with them all the time about security issues.”
This is the real reason why Yuzvendra Chahal was not selected in the team for Sri Lanka tour, his career may end!
Former Indian cricketer Venkatapathy Raju has given a statement on the exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal from both the T20 and ODI format squads for India’s upcoming Sri Lanka tour. Yuzvendra Chahal (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Venkatapathy Raju has given such a statement on Yuzvendra Chahal being excluded from both T20 and ODI format teams for India’s upcoming Sri Lanka tour, which has started a war again. It is worth noting that due to Chahal not being given a chance in the team for a long time, this matter has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world. Talking about this, Raju said that Chahal is a great bowler, but the team is currently focusing on all-rounders. Due to which players like Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel were given preference over Chahal, who is also a specialist bowler and batsman. Raju said that because of these all-rounder players, it is becoming very challenging for any specialist bowler to secure a place in the playing 11. As quoted by the Times of India, Venkatapathy Raju said- “You should always believe in yourself. Chahal has been a fantastic bowler. But unfortunately, we focus more on all-rounders. That’s why we had Jadeja, then we had Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. If Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are part of the squad then you cannot keep them away from the playing 11.” “Yuzi is a fantastic bowler, but he got dropped because he hasn’t played enough matches. It’s not like you’re getting old or anything is taken away from you. You can always play good matches, come back and perform well. Now, the biggest problem for all selectors is that there is so much variety in choosing players now.” “It takes real courage to pick someone with such a variety. Hopefully he will play a lot of domestic cricket and come back stronger.”

Hasan Ali gave a big statement on Mohammad Hafeez’s claim of ‘sleeping’ in the dressing room during the Australia tour
Mohammad Hafeez was the team director on the Australia tour Hasan Ali and Mohammad Hafeez (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, a big statement came from the former director of the Pakistan cricket team, Mohammad Hafeez, when he said that during the Pak team’s tour to Australia, some players were seen sleeping in the dressing room. It is noteworthy that since November last year, Hafeez had not only become the director of the Pakistan team but was also seen in the role of interim coach of the team on the New Zealand tour after the Australia tour. But now a big statement has come from the team’s fast bowler Hasan Ali on this statement of Hafeez. Let us tell you that last year when Pakistan was on a tour to Australia for a three-match Test series, Hasan Ali was also a part of that team. Hasan Ali gave a big reaction It is worth noting that Hafeez recently said on the Club Praire Podcast with Michael Vaughan and Adam Gilchrist – Gilly, you tell me. When we are playing Test cricket, can a player sleep in the dressing room? And when 4-5 players are sleeping in the dressing room, should I, as a team director, allow this? On the other hand, on this statement of Hafeez, Hasan Ali said on Pakistan’s local media platform – I really don’t know, but whatever Hafeez said, it should be done. I don’t think anyone slept in the dressing room after that. When Hafeez said that I was not a part of the first game, all the players who were not part of the playing eleven were watching the game sitting in the dugout. The management was also sitting there. Ali further said- But I would say in Test cricket, especially for fast bowlers, when you bowl for a day and a half you need to recover, and you can take a nap of 20-30 minutes. But this is only for those who feel that they need it.
