IND vs ENG: Dhruv Jurel is all set to face Joe Root in the second test
The second Test of the five-match Test series between India and England is starting from February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Dhruv Jurel (Pic Source-Twitter) The second Test of the five-match Test series between India and England is starting from February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Many people are eagerly waiting for this important test match. Let us tell you, Dhruv Jurel has also been included in the Indian team in the Test series being played against England. Young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has given a big statement in an exclusive interview with GeoCinema before the first Test against England played in Hyderabad. When did you get the call to join the Indian team? We were practicing that day and in the evening when I was going to sleep, I just switched on BCCI TV and saw my name on it. I was quite surprised. Every child wants to play for the Indian national team and as soon as I saw my name, all that was going on in my mind was that I am living my dream. Journey to the Indian team? Any cricketer who belongs to a middle class family has the dream of playing for the Indian team. However, when you are starting your career in cricket, you are fighting against many people, both mentally and due to lack of money. As soon as I saw my name, my hard work appeared before my eyes. I was discussing all these things with my family and sister. Importance of domestic cricket? Domestic cricket has great importance because you have to make your team win the match. We face the best bowlers from every state. Only the best players play in domestic cricket. The cricket pitch of every state is different, like the condition of the cricket pitch of Ahmedabad and that of Delhi will be quite different. We play Ranji Trophy matches at home and away where the weather is also quite different. We have to perform tremendously in such situations. What would you like to say about wicketkeeping? I like wicketkeeping very much. It feels good that the ball is coming to me. The ball comes to the keeper most of the times in the match. I enjoy wicketkeeping more than batting. Because of wicketkeeping, I have got a lot of help in batting also. When we are bowling first, I understand what is the change in the wicket and play the shots in the same way. Experience of meeting Mahendra Singh Dhoni? I have always been a big fan of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Last year I had a chance to talk to him and I asked him what’s your mindset when you go in? He had said, ‘You just play by looking at the ball. And there is no need to think about anything at all. Whatever pressure is coming is coming from outside. You have to think about how to play shots against the bowler and prepare in the same way. You do not need to put too much pressure on yourself and play freely without thinking anything.…

Lauren Cheatle out of WPL 2024 due to skin cancer
Lauren Cheatle is fighting skin cancer and due to this she will have to stay away from cricket for the time being. Lauren Cheatle (Pic Source-Twitter) Australia’s brilliant female cricketer Lauren Cheatle has been ruled out of the remaining domestic season and the upcoming Women’s Premier League. Let us tell you, Lauren Cheatle is fighting skin cancer and due to this she will have to stay away from cricket for the time being. Lauren Cheatle was included in their squad by Gujarat Giants in the upcoming edition of the Women’s Premier League. His performance has been tremendous in Australian domestic cricket. In the last edition of the Women’s Big Bash League, this bowler had bowled brilliantly for Sydney Sixers. Lauren Cheatle will not be seen playing in the remaining matches of the Women’s National Cricket League. He bowled very well for New South Wales in the WNCL and took 11 wickets. Cheatle has undergone treatment to recover from skin cancer on her neck, which has ruled her out of the remainder of the domestic season and the upcoming edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL 2024). This is not the first time that this fast bowler has undergone surgery. Earlier in 2021, she had undergone a similar operation on her leg. New South Wales issued a statement saying, ‘Chittle aims to return to training with NSW following the players’ scheduled off-season break.’ Cheatle would like to make a comeback as soon as possible Cheatle, who made her ODI and T20 International debut for Australia in 2017, has since battled shoulder injuries three times. The left-arm fast bowler has played only four ODIs and seven T20 Internationals so far in his short career. The surgery means she will also miss the upcoming one-off Test between Australia and South Africa women. He made his Test debut on the India tour only last year. The young fast bowler had said in November, ‘My body has suffered a lot and even at this time I am fighting a lot of things. But I am very excited for the series against India. The fourth surgery on my shoulder was very difficult and now it is also scarred by cancer. I never expected that I would face all these difficulties. This is a very dangerous phase of my career and I have full hope that this too will pass very soon. Australia Cricket Awards 2024: Know which player won which award?

Jack Crowley talks openly about the strategy of sweep and reverse sweep against Indian spinners.
Jack Crawley said, sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. India v England (Image Source : Twitter) The England team defeated India by 28 runs in the first match of the five-Test series to take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the Hyderabad Test, the English batsmen faced the Indian spinners bravely, especially Ollie Pope, who played a brilliant century. Meanwhile, opening batsman Zak Crawley says that the use of sweep and reverse sweep by the English batsmen against Indian spinners is a perfect way to throw out the spin plan. Zak Crawley scored 20 and 31 runs in both the innings respectively. Despite not playing big innings, Crawley played an important role in giving England a great start. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the second Test, Crawley elaborated on the strategy of playing a sweep or reverse sweep. It takes the spin out of the plan – Jack Crowley He said, I think sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. This takes spin out of the plan. I think reverse sweep is common for us because the ground is less there. It seems they always have two men on the leg side. If they had two men on the other side, we might have played a sweep. The reverse sweep probably comes as naturally to us as the common sweep. Speaking on baseball, he said, it (baseball) comes naturally because many teams are playing more aggressively. When I first came to England the mentality was to take my time and play a long innings. I didn’t think it would come naturally to me and some other people. A lot of us play a little better under that. Zak Crawley feels that the Indian team is very strong in its home conditions despite the absence of many key players in the upcoming second Test. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli is already out of two Tests, while KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja suffered injuries, due to which they have been ruled out of the second Test.
IND vs ENG: “Bumrah will get injured soon due to absence of Shami” – Know what Jasprit Bumrah said
Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly with the ball in the first test match against England. Irfan Pathan and Jasprit Bumrah. (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan believes that the injury will not affect Bumrah due to the absence of Mohammed Shami. Pathan said that his action is now perfect so he does not need to worry too much about the injury. Shami has been out of action since the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury, while Bumrah returned after suffering a stress fracture in August last year after being away from cricket for 11 months. Bumrah was one of the successful bowlers for India, taking six wickets in both innings in the shock 28-run defeat against England in the first Test. Speaking to PTI TV, Irfan Pathan admitted that Shami’s absence was affecting the team, but also said that there was no risk of injury to Bumrah. Bumrah gave a big statement regarding the absence of Mohammed Shami and Bumrah. Pathan said, “Obviously Shami’s absence will have an impact but it does not mean that the chances of Bumrah getting injured will increase. His action is absolutely perfect now. When there is pressure from both sides, whether it is Shami taking wickets from one side or Bumrah working quietly. “On one hand, Bumrah is taking wickets and Shami is quietly working, their partnership not only reduces pressure on each other but is also good for the team.” Although the first Test was played on a spin-friendly wicket, Bumrah bowled around 25 overs on that pitch, of which he bowled 16.1 overs in the second innings. Bumrah has been in great form since his return from injury last year and is the fourth leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets. Bumrah also played a key role in India’s second Test win against South Africa in Cape Town, taking six wickets in the second innings.
