(Photo Source: Twitter) Currently, the second test match between Team India and New Zealand is being played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The second day of play of this match has started. On the second day of the game, Team India batted disappointingly in its first innings and the team was all out for 156 runs. All the batsmen from Team India batted poorly. Let us tell you that the Kiwi spinners kept the pressure on the host batsmen by bowling lethally in this match. While on one hand brilliant spinner Mitchell Santner took 7 wickets, on the other hand Glenn Phillips took two wickets. Former New Zealand player Simon Doull has given his opinion regarding the batsmen of Team India. Simon Doull said on GeoCinema during the lunch break of the second day’s play, ‘I think there is a misconception around the world now that these modern Indian players are playing spin better than anyone else. It is not like that at all. Like the rest of the players in the world, so are India’s batsmen. Gone are the days when Team India had Ganguly, Gambhir, Laxman and Dravid. Sachin Tendulkar was an excellent batsman against spin and even before that there have been many great batsmen in the team who have always batted brilliantly against spin. On turning tracks, Team India’s spinners are as good as the spinners of the opposing team. When turning track is made in IPL then they criticize it. New Zealand is in a strong position in the second test Let us tell you that the New Zealand team is currently in a strong position in the second test. They had scored 259 runs in their first innings after losing all the wickets, in response to which the hosts were all out for 156 runs. In reply, New Zealand has taken a considerable lead in the second innings. If Team India wants to survive in this series, then it is very important for them to win this second test. New Zealand is leading 1-0 in the three-match Test series.

Thus, this will be the first Women’s T20 World Cup final since 2009, in which Australia will not participate. Captain Alyssa Healy could not play in the match due to injury and she expressed disappointment over this. Let us tell you that Alyssa Healy got injured against Pakistan during the group stage. She could not play in the subsequent matches and was seen walking with the help of crutches. The Australian management was hopeful of his recovery and therefore did not announce any replacement. Captain Healy did not even play in the semi-final match and had decided to sit out. It was very difficult to take a decision last night – Alyssa Healy Now after the match, Alyssa Healy has revealed the seriousness of her injury. That said, I tore my plantar fascia – tore one completely and tore the other partially. It was just a matter of function and pain and what I could handle. After all, I probably only had one game. Maybe I took the wrong risk at the end of the day. He further said that it was very difficult to take a decision last night. I sat myself down rather than take the risk. It was very difficult to watch, knowing that you couldn’t go there and help. But like I said, there were so many positives to see throughout the tournament. It didn’t end the way we wanted, but I think we played some amazing cricket throughout the tournament.

Former West Indies cricketers demanded an apology from Brian Lara for the wrong information written about them in his new book, know the whole matter

Brian’s new book is called LARA The England Chronicles. Recently, a new book by Brian Lara, former legendary player of West Indies cricket team and the one who played a 400 run test innings against England, has been published. The name of this new book of Lara is LARA The England Chronicles. Let us tell you that the image of former Caribbean legend Vivian Richards has been tarnished in a paragraph written in this book, and not only Richards but also Carl Hooper has been disappointed by this wrong statement. Both these former legendary cricketers have claimed that their character has been portrayed wrongly in Lara’s book. In a joint statement, Carl Hooper and Viv Richards said, as quoted by PTI- Sir Viv Richards and Mr Carl Hooper are deeply disappointed by the gross misrepresentations made about them in Brian Lara’s recently published book. The allegations not only distort the reality of their relationship but also unfairly and damagingly impugn their characters. The book claims that Sir Vivian was aggressive towards Mr Hooper and made him cry once a week, which is completely false. Such details are an attempt to tarnish the image of Vivian Richards. This claim is not only baseless but also dangerous for both sides. this whole matter Let us tell you that there is a paragraph in Lara’s new book, which says – I (Brian Lara) would say that Vivian used to make me cry every three weeks, but he used to make Carl (Hooper) cry once a week. The tone of Viv’s voice is intimidating and if you are not strong enough, you can take it personally and get affected by it. Me, I was never really affected by it. In a way I welcomed it, because I was way below their image, I know I was getting abused, but I was a strong person, but Karl? I know for a fact that Karl kept his distance from Viv Richards.

Former Indian cricketer supports Hardik, says- ‘He has not done anything wrong that he should not get the captaincy’

Suryakumar has been made the captain in place of Hardik for the T20 series against Sri Lanka Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) On Thursday, July 18, the BCCI announced the Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour. SuryaKumar Yadav was appointed the captain of the T20I team, while Rohit Sharma will continue to lead the ODI team. However, the most surprising thing during this time was that Hardik Pandya was removed from the vice-captaincy and Shubman Gill was given this responsibility. Let us tell you that Hardik was the vice-captain of the T20 World Cup 2024 winning team and after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20I, he was being considered as the next captain. But Suryakumar Yadav surpassed the experienced all-rounder. Meanwhile, Mohammad Kaif respected Suryakumar’s batting talent, but he feels that Hardik’s experience as a captain should have been taken into account. Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning – Mohammad Kaif Mohammad Kaif was quoted by Times of India as saying, Hardik has captained Gujarat Titans for 2 years and in his very first year he made it to the finals… Hardik has experience of captaining a T20I team. He was also the vice-captain in the T20 World Cup. Now, a new coach has come, there will be new planning. He said, ‘Surya is also a good player, he has been playing for years, I hope he will handle the responsibility of captaincy well. But, I think he should have supported Hardik.’ Continuing his talk, Kaif said, Gambhir is an experienced captain and coach. He understands cricket very well. I think Hardik has not done anything wrong that he should not get the captaincy. Mohammad Kaif said, he has experience. He has captained in IPL and has won the trophy for a new team (Gujarat Titans) with new and young faces, which is a big thing. He worked from ground zero in IPL and led Titans to victory. I think he deserved the captaincy. So let’s wait and see now.

I was just trying to encourage people but you give the rent for free and keep doing all this.’ Said this to the team who had watched it rain for 2 days when we had our foot on your throats, just tried to cheer up the disappointment tbh,but anyways rent free and all that 🫡 — Ben Stokes (@benstokes38) July 3, 2024 England now has to play a three-match Test series against West Indies which starts on July 10.

USA vs ENG: Where did America go wrong in defeating big teams? Read the turning point of the match

USA vs ENG: The 49th match of T20 World Cup 2024 was played between USA and England in which England won by 10 wickets. USA vs ENG (Pic Source X) USA vs ENG: The 49th match of T20 World Cup 2024 was played between USA and England in which England won by 10 wickets. England won the toss and invited America to bat first. USA batted very poorly and were all out for 115 runs against the defending champions. At the same time, England chased the target in just 9.4 overs and won by a huge margin of 10 wickets. For England, Butler scored an unbeaten 83 off 38 balls with the help of six fours and seven sixes and Phil Salt scored 25 runs off 21 balls with the help of two fours. With this win, England have reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. Where did America go wrong? Read the turning point of the USA vs ENG match America’s batting was very poor. Nitish Kumar scored the highest 30 runs for USA and Corey Anderson scored 29 runs. At the same time, only five batsmen of America could touch the double digit mark. Let us tell you that, by the end of 14 overs, America had lost five wickets for 88 runs. Half the team had returned to the pavilion, however, they could have tried to take the scoreboard to the target of 140 runs from here. This is because a good partnership was developing between Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh for the sixth wicket. But Sam Curran gave the 6th blow to America by dismissing Harmeet and broke the good partnership. As soon as Harmeet was out, America’s innings fell apart like a pack of cards. After that, Chris Jordan dismissed Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Nosathush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar in the 19th over. Jordan, who came to bowl the 19th over, took four wickets in five balls and bowled out the USA cheaply. He took a hat-trick against the USA in this tournament and with this he became the first bowler to take a hat-trick for England in the T20 World Cup.

Was the decision to give the captaincy of Gujarat Titans (GT) to Shubman Gill wrong?

Questions are being raised that despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan, the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain was wrong, let’s see. Shubman Gill(BCCI/IPL) 3 teams have been eliminated from the playoff race of IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians are the first, Punjab Kings are the second and Gujarat Titans are the third teams whose dream of lifting the IPL trophy this year has been shattered. Gujarat Titans made their IPL debut in the year 2022 and they lifted the IPL trophy in the same year. After this, they reached the finals in IPL 2023 but the team remained runner up after losing to CSK. For both these years, the captaincy of the team was in the hands of Hardik Pandya. However, Gujarat traded its captain Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians at the beginning of this season, due to which the captaincy position became vacant. After that the team management decided to make young opening batsman Shubman Gill the captain. The legacy left by Hardik was handed over to Shubman Gill and the fans as well as the team hoped that Gujarat would go to the playoffs. But this season the team’s performance was very poor. This team has played 13 matches so far in IPL 2024, out of which the team won 5 and lost 7. The match against KKR was canceled and the team’s dream of going to the playoffs was shattered. Was the decision to give captaincy to Shubman Gill wrong? Now questions are being raised that the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan was wrong. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has supported Gujarat Titans’ move to hand over the captaincy to Shubman Gill despite their inability to reach the playoffs in IPL 2024. “We have all forgotten what a young player he is. He is still a child of the next generation, so he needs time to learn leadership. He will learn everything gradually. I think he’s a leader, whether he likes it or not. He is a quiet leader. If he can put all those things together and play, I’m sure he has a bright future.”

IPL 2024: ‘What wrong has Rohit Sharma done?’ – Navjot Singh Sidhu on change in team captaincy by Mumbai Indians

Mumbai has appointed Hardik Pandya as its new captain in place of Rohit Sharma in the ongoing IPL. Navjot Singh Sidhu. (Photo Source: X) Former opening batsman of the Indian cricket team and well-known cricket commentator and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has given a big statement on the change in the captaincy of his team by Mumbai Indians. Sidhu has taken a jibe at the Mumbai franchise and asked what wrong Rohit Sharma had done. It is noteworthy that before the start of IPL 2024, five-time champion Mumbai Indians management had appointed all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was traded from Gujarat Titans, as the new captain of the team. After this decision of the franchise, there was a lot of criticism in the cricket world. Navjot Singh Sidhu takes a dig at Mumbai Indians Let us tell you that Navjot, in a discussion with Star Sports in the press room regarding the change of captaincy in the team by Mumbai Indians, said – No one can digest the fact that the hero of India, the captain of India, is not the captain of our franchise. . What wrong has he (Rohit Sharma) done? Fans of the franchise must be thinking the same thing. But what should he do? There is no such thing as success. If he had won both these matches, there would not have been so much noise. Navjot further said- If BCCI had made Rohit the captain for the T20 World Cup in October, the franchise would not have chosen Hardik as the captain. It is a matter of respect for the franchise. So, the real issue here is time. On the other hand, if we give you information about the performance of Mumbai Indians in the 17th season of the ongoing IPL, the team has played 3 matches so far, in which it has faced defeat in all three. The team is currently at the last position in the points table with a hat-trick of defeats. Well, now it will be interesting to see how Mumbai is going to perform in its upcoming matches? Mumbai is now going to face Delhi Capitals in IPL on 7th April.

DC vs CSK Turning point of match: Why Guru’s team lost to disciple, know where Chennai went wrong?

Delhi defeated Chennai by 20 runs in the 13th match of IPL. DC vs CSK (Photo Source: IPL Official Website) DC vs CSK Turning point of match: The 13th match of IPL 2024 was played between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings. Delhi defeated Chennai by 20 runs in this match. Chasing Delhi’s 192 runs, Chennai could score only 171 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. DC vs CSK Turning point of match (Delhi vs Chennai: What was the turning point of the match) Where did things go wrong for CSK, which has won 2 consecutive matches? Actually, it is a bit surprising for Chennai Super Kings to lose with such a great batting lineup. But let us tell you where Chennai made many mistakes and the match went out of their hands. Chennai Super Kings, while chasing the target, had a very bad start which affected the entire match. The team lost 2 wickets in the powerplay and that too the wickets of their opening batsmen. Khalil Ahmed had given the first blow to Chennai Super Kings in the very first over and Ruturaj Gaikwad was out after scoring one run in two balls. After Ruturaj Gaikwad, opener Rachin Ravindra was also caught out cheaply and sent back. Rachin had scored 2 runs in 12 balls before getting out. The openers could not give the team a good start, which Warner and Prithvi Shaw did for Delhi. The batsmen who came after these two had to set themselves at the crease and with this it took some time to increase the pace of runs. If both these batsmen had given starts then perhaps the required run rate in the match would not have increased rapidly and there would have been no pressure on the batsmen to play risky shots. Rahane and Daryl Mitchell tried well to give starts After the fall of the first two wickets, the Rahane-Mitchell pair saved Chennai’s innings. Both of them took the team’s innings to 75 runs after 10 overs. On the second ball of the 11th over, Akshar gave an important wicket to the team and took the match to his camp by breaking the Rahane-Mitchell partnership. Daryl Mitchell scored 34 runs and Rahane scored 45 runs in 30 balls. Even Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s unbeaten inning of 37 runs on 16 balls could not help Chennai Super Kings win and Delhi Capitals won the match by 20 runs. While this is Chennai’s first defeat of the season, it is also Delhi’s first win. Batting first, Delhi gave Chennai a target of 192 runs on the basis of half-centuries from Rishabh Pant and David Warner. In reply, Chennai had a bad start. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Dhoni took the team closer to the target, but could not win.
