India’s WTC qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now: Aakash Chopra
India now has to win 5 of its upcoming 6 test matches. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has recently given a big statement regarding India’s chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Chopra says that it looks a little difficult now. It is noteworthy that after the defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test match against New Zealand, India’s path to the WTC has become a bit difficult. India has to win only 4 of its upcoming six Test matches, while one match may be drawn. But it is worth noting here that 5 of these matches are against Australia in Australia. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Pune Test match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The important question is what is the WTC qualification scenario, because India was on a mission of dominance. We thought we would win all five (home Tests) and move forward with 100 per cent points. Now the scenario is that you have to win four and draw one out of the remaining six matches, and that is a tough task. Chopra further said- Believe it or not, I think the upcoming BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is going to be very difficult. We have not lost for 10 years, but this time it will be very difficult to win. So the qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now, especially when you watch South Africa’s home matches. This is a big reason.

So South Africa has won the first test match against Bangladesh, and the second match is left. While its two matches are left against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If it wins these 5 matches, it will directly make it to the WTC finals.

England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket- Monty Panesar Monty Panesar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former England left-arm spinner Monty Panesar is playing for Toyam Hyderabad in the Legends League Cricket 2024. Panesar has played 50 Tests, 26 ODIs and one T20 match for England. In which he has taken 167,24 and 2 wickets respectively. Recently, Monty Panesar talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. Monty Panesar told during the interview that players like James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who have taken retirement from international cricket this year, can play in Legends League cricket. Panesar also revealed the reason why England no longer has a specialist spin bowler. Monty Panesar also said that England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship, they are more focused on the Ashes series and how to play against Australia. He also stressed that Joe Root has the potential to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs. Monty Panesar’s Exclusive Interview with CricTracker Question: The pair of you and Graeme Swann had a lot of dominance against India. At that time England’s spin attack was very strong, but after that such spin attack was not seen. Your thoughts on this? Answer- I think there is a 100 schedule in England now, and due to this the time for the County Championship has reduced. Earlier, specialist spinners used to get more opportunities, but now this is not happening.4 Question: The England team is now playing with the ‘baseball’ style, but they have not been able to reach the World Test Championship final yet. Do you think this approach is right? Answer: England’s aim is not to win the World Test Championship. Their aim is to entertain and play aggressive cricket. However, the World Test Championship is a big achievement and they should focus on it. But England’s entire plan is focused on winning the Ashes. Question: Virat Kohli has struggled against left-arm spinners. Would you like to give them any advice to improve this weakness? Answer- I think that instead of putting a big player like Virat Kohli under pressure, he should be allowed to play his natural game. He is a big name and there is a lot of pressure on him. They should be allowed to play mentally freely. Question: Joe Root’s performance has also been excellent in recent times. Do you think he can get close to Sachin Tendulkar’s record of Test runs? Answer- Yes, I think Joe Root has that ability. If he maintains his fitness and form, he can definitely get close to Sachin Paaji’s record. Question: Do you think that after Virat Kohli, any other player can reach this level? Answer- I see that potential in Yashasvi Jaiswal. His mentality is very strong, and he can become a big player in the future. Question: How will England and India perform in the Champions Trophy? Answer- The team which is most dangerous for India is England, they know how to defeat India. There…
