PCB scared of Shaheen Afridi’s decision, immediately called emergency meeting; What will Babar do now?
The way Pakistan Cricket Board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Shaheen Shah Afridi (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, big decisions have been taken in Pakistan Cricket Board and a different politics has taken birth. There was news that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is not in support of former captain Shaheen Shah Afridi. Therefore, he removed Shaheen from the captaincy and handed over the captaincy of the team back to Babar Azam. Just a few days after such rumors started flying, a new twist has emerged in this story. Actually, Babar Azam has given a kind of ultimatum to the board regarding his desire to return as the captain of the T20 format. He has put a condition that he should be assured of being given the captaincy for all three formats. This development has given rise to a dispute between Shaheen Shah Afridi and the Pakistan Cricket Board. A statement was published on the official website of the PCB. Let’s see what was in it? “I will always cherish the memories and the opportunities given to me. As a team player, it is my duty to support our captain Babar Azam. I have played under his captaincy and I have nothing wrong with him except respect. I will try to help them. Off the field we are all one. Our aim is only one, to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.” After this press release, the problem of Pakistan’s captaincy became worse because Afridi has reportedly not given any such statement. According to the report he has called it fake. He was about to issue a statement on the matter, but the PCB immediately held an emergency meeting with him. It is believed that Afridi himself has expressed his disappointment at being removed from the captaincy without talking. He says that PCB is not even ready to talk to him. The way the board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Hopefully Naqvi and the PCB will work towards pacifying them and reducing the scope of any outrage over the entire incident.

Are? They are paying a lot of money to foreign coaches, so what is the use of them here in IPL?” What is the role of Ricky Ponting?: Atul Wasan He has also questioned the role of foreign experts appointed by franchises. “Apart from the coaches, no one is talking about what is the role of the foreign experts they bring into their setup.

Delhi batted first and the pair of David Warner-Prithvi Shaw scored 93 runs in 10 overs. When Rishabh Pant came to the crease, it took time for him to settle down. He scored 23 runs at a slightly slow pace but scored 28 runs in the last 9 balls of his innings with the help of sixes and fours. But as soon as his half-century was completed, Pant became the victim of Mathisha Pathirana in the same over in which he was hitting him for sixes and fours. He faced 32 balls and played a brilliant inning of 51 runs with the help of 4 fours and 3 sixes. Pant has returned to IPL after 14 months after the accident in December 2022 and after such a long time, he scored a half-century with his bat, which brought tears to the eyes of the fans, even if their favorite roared like a lion.

However, Dhoni did not show any pressure in the run chase and he scored 37 runs in just 16 balls and his innings included 4 fours and 3 big sixes. Srikanth praised this innings of Dhoni on his YouTube channel. He said that he was left speechless while watching the brilliant innings of the former CSK captain. He said, “I don’t know how to express it. On one hand, as a Dhoni fan, I am very happy, in a way… what a knock! At the age of 42, someone is killing like this, he is killing and that too without any worry. Vintage Dhoni! In 2005, he scored a century against Pakistan at the same ground, being out for 0 in the first match of his international career. In his second match (fifth), he destroyed the Pakistan attack.” Dhoni can play IPL for two more years: K Srikanth The former selector also said that Dhoni’s innings proved to be a moral victory for CSK and their fans. Srikkanth has also claimed that Dhoni is still the best Indian wicketkeeper. they believe That despite being 42 years old, Dhoni can play IPL for the next 2 years.

But it was a moral victory for CSK fans because everyone was waiting for the chance to see Dhoni bat.” Regarding Dhoni’s keeping, the former cricketer said, “In terms of keeping, he is still the best Indian keeper. He is still catching the balls of the spinners. He is still India’s best wicketkeeper. Number 1 is Dhoni, number 2 is Wriddhiman Saha, both of them are still the best. He made it so easy. He is keeping well, he is batting well, he is running well between the wickets. Is he 42 years old? I think, he will play IPL for 2 more years.
Shaheen Shah Afridi expressed anger over making Babar Azam captain and making fake statement.
He is completely unhappy with the way Shaheen Afridi was treated during the entire captaincy U-turn. He says that no one has talked to him nor is anyone ready to talk. However, hours after Babar Azam was re-appointed captain, a press release was issued in which Shaheen promised full support to Babar Azam as captain and said that leading Pakistan was “an honour”. Is. But perhaps this has not happened, because Shaheen Shah Afridi seems quite angry with this press release given by PCB. According to an ESPN report, Shaheen says that the Pakistan Cricket Board has given a fake statement. He has not given any such statement regarding Babar Azam and captaincy. It seems that after removing him from the captaincy of the team and releasing fake statement, there will be tension and sourness in the relationship between these two superstars of Pakistan in the future. Now it remains to be seen what further statements the board and players give.
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.
