Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India and Afghanistan are set to face each other in the first match of the three-match T20 series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Thursday, January 11. Ahead of the match, famous cricket expert Aakash Chopra shared his opinion in a recent video while previewing the match. Chopra started his discussion by talking about the strong team of Afghanistan and along with this he also gave his statement about Rashid Khan. Actually, due to injury, Rashid Khan will not be able to be a part of the team for this series. Despite this, Chopra emphasized the team’s strengths, especially in the batting department. Chopra said in his YouTube video, “Afghanistan has come with a very big team. From Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Gulbadin Naib, they have a lot of heating ability. The pressure will be on the batting of this team because they bowl well in any case.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Afghanistan’s batting Highlighting the important role of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in Afghanistan’s batting lineup, the former India opener said, “In batting, if Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s bat speaks, Rahmanullah will become Subhanallah, Mashallah. He will need the support of the middle-order batsmen. If the Afghan batsmen contribute runs, it is a contest worth watching.” Expressing hope for the strong batting of Najibullah Zadran, Chopra predicted a high-scoring match. They said, “My eyes will be on Najibullah Zadran again because he hits sixes hard. He has good strength in batting. Whoever wins the toss will opt to bowl first as the target will be easier to chase. It could be a 180 to 200 run match.” However, Chopra cautioned against overly aggressive strategies for the team batting first and advised aiming for a 200+ score from the start. He argued that such an approach could backfire, resulting in a lower total score in the end. Also read: Good news for Australia fans, David Warner will enter the SCG ground in Hollywood style.

“He must have learned a lot by having players like Rohit Sharma….”- Former English captain said about Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill (Pic Source-TWITTER) Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain was recently asked to choose the young cricketers whom he considers to be the future superstars of the game. The former England captain immediately picked India’s Shubman Gill and New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra and explained why these two players can rule the cricket world in the future. However, Nasir Hussain also believes that Gill would have learned a lot by batting with Indian captain Rohit Sharma, calling the young player a super talent and a big star for the future of Team India. Nasir Hussain praised Shubman Gill fiercely In the video shared by ICC, Nasir Hussain said, “I am going with Shubman Gill. I think three-quarters, nine-tenths of them in 2023 were very good. Having players like Rohit Sharma at the other end, he must have learned a lot. Maybe, in the end, that illness bothered him a bit and his form deteriorated. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India in the coming years. Hopefully 2024 will be good for him.” Furthermore, Hussain lauded the performance of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who impressed everyone with his performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers of the competition. Hussain expressed hope that Ravindra will continue his excellent performance in future also. Hussain said, “And the man who lit up the World Cup was Rachin Ravindra. Before going to the World Cup, I saw him for a while in England. He came in lower down the order at Lord’s and created a stir all around. I thought, he can play. When he was given a chance in the top order, he performed brilliantly there. Hopefully, he will continue his form.” Also read: What is Hardik Pandya proving by posting the video with his son?
