He said, “We are very excited to have Rangana and Vikram join our Test group. Both players are highly respected in the cricket world and I know our players are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to learn from them. It will be very beneficial for our three left-arm orthodox spinners, especially Ejaz, Mitch and Rachin, to have the opportunity to work with Rangana in three Test matches in the subcontinent.”

Vikram Rathore was the batting coach of Team India till T20 World Cup 2024 Vikram Rathour and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Former batting coach of the Indian cricket team Vikram Rathour has recently made a big statement praising Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Vikram has said that Rohit may forget once whether to choose bowling or batting during the toss, but he never forgets his game plan. It is worth noting that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team was successful in reaching the finals of the World Test Championship 2023 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, but could not win the final. However, after this India won the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit. With this victory, India ended the drought of not winning the ICC trophy for 11 years. Vikram Rathore gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that recently Vikram Rathore said on the ‘Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli’ podcast – He (Rohit) may forget whether he has decided to bat or bowl at the time of the toss. He may forget his phone and iPad in the team bus, but he never forgets his game plan. He is very clever in this and is a very smart strategist. Vikram further said- He is a player’s captain. He is invested with the players. I have never seen a captain who is so invested in team meetings and strategies. He spends a lot of time on team strategy. He is a part of the bowlers’ meeting and the batsmen’s meeting. He (Rohit) sits with the batsmen and bowlers and tries to understand what they are thinking. He spends a lot of time with the team players. On the other hand, if we talk about Rohit, after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he had decided to say goodbye to T20 cricket. However, now he can be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh next month?
T20 World Cup 2024: Hardik Pandya looks fully fit to bowl 4 overs: Vikram Rathour
In their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India defeated Ireland by eight wickets and started this wonderful tournament with a bang. Indian Team (Pic Source-X) Indian team’s batting coach Vikram Rathore is very happy with the performance of Hardik Pandya. Let us tell you, in their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India defeated Ireland by eight wickets and started this great tournament with a bang. Hardik Pandya bowled very well for the Indian team and took three wickets for 27 runs in four overs. Vikram Rathore is very happy that Hardik Pandya is bowling with good line and length along with speed. Due to this bowling of Hardik Pandya, Ireland team was all out for 96 runs while batting first. After this, the Indian team achieved the target of 97 runs with 8 wickets remaining. Talking to the reporter after the match, Vikram Rathore said, ‘Hardik Pandya is looking very good. He had performed very well in the practice match as well. He is bowling brilliantly. Hardik looks completely fit to bowl four overs and he bowled brilliantly with accurate line and length.’ Harbhajan Singh also gave his opinion on Hardik Pandya’s spell Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a big statement about Hardik Pandya’s spell. According to Harbhajan Singh, Hardik Pandya’s bowling spell was the turning point of the match. After India’s victory, Harbhajan Singh told Star Sports, ‘Due to Hardik’s spell, the Ireland team was completely behind in the match. When you have a fourth fast bowler who is consistently bowling at a speed of 135-140 kmph in these conditions, it helps you a lot. I think Hardik Pandya’s presence in the team will also help India a lot.’ Hardik Pandya’s performance in the Indian Premier League 2024 was quite disappointing. However, Hardik Pandya would definitely like to leave his mark in the T20 World Cup 2024. Now India has to play its next match against Pakistan on June 9 and the team would definitely like to win this too.

But after this, Rishabh Pant (36*), who came to bat, along with captain Rohit Sharma (52), made a partnership of 69 runs and put the match in India’s bag.

So we knew what to expect from the pitch. So, it is what it is. We need to find a way to deal with it and I think our team has enough skill and enough experience to deal with it. We have got some really good batsmen who can bat well on any kind of pitch. I think that has been our strength for many years. We can adapt really well to different situations. I think on this pitch you need to adapt really well. One should not worry too much about it.
