Abhishek and Sanju have not been able to perform well in the ongoing T20 series against Bangladesh. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a three-match T20 series is being played between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN). So, in the first two matches of this series, Team India’s openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have not been able to capitalize on this opportunity. Abhishek could only score 16 and 15 runs in the first two T20 matches, while Sanju could score only 29 and 10 runs. It is worth noting that at present Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad are not playing in the team. In such a situation, both these players had a good chance to prove themselves to the selectors in T20 cricket, but till now both these players have not been able to prove themselves. On the other hand, the statement of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has come to light regarding this matter. Chopra says that both these players may regret losing their chance. Also, he can be ignored in the upcoming T20 series against South Africa. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the second T20 match between India and Bangladesh, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – One is Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson is with him, this is not a good performance. Two matches have passed, and you haven’t made any significant contributions. You have the license to play long innings. Chopra further said- When the South Africa tour comes, who knows whether Yashasvi, Shubman and Gaikwad may be available, and whether Sanju and Abhishek are opening? Suddenly you have five opening batsmen and five will not play. Ishan Kishan may also start knocking the door after some time, when you find yourself in that situation, you may regret that you had wasted the chances you got. You will need to give yourself some time. Same thing for Abhishek and Sanju, because you are getting a chance to open and you have full 20 overs.

He said that the left-handed batsman should have been a part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad. Rinku scored 53 runs in 29 balls and India set a target of 222 runs for Bangladesh. After this, the Men in Blue restricted Bangla Tigers to 135 runs for nine wickets and registered an emphatic 86-run win and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rinku Singh In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rinku has been mistreated. He said, “Rinku Singh’s story is very interesting. No matter how much you talk about it, it is less. I feel that full justice is not being done to him. He logically should have been in the T20 World Cup squad because if you had seen his performance last year before the World Cup, he was excellent.” Cricketer turned commentator Chopra said that this batsman from Uttar Pradesh has always taken India out of difficult situations. The former batsman said, “He has performed well wherever and whenever he has played. Whenever the Indian team is struggling, he gets a chance to bat, be it against Afghanistan, South Africa or Bangladesh. He has scored a half-century every time and if you look at his strike rate in those innings, you will say he is brilliant.” Chopra finally said that, “That means he is scoring runs, managing the innings, not letting wickets fall, preventing collapses and then the strike rate is so good that you reach the top scores despite early losses. You have phenomenal potential.”
“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.

Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.
“Will be dropped…”- Aakash Chopra gave a stern warning to Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Despite making his international debut nine years ago in 2015, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has not been able to permanently cement his place in the Indian cricket team. With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav have decided to give Samson a chance as an opening batsman in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma in the first match of the series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Samson displayed his timing and technique and scored 29 runs in 19 balls but could not make much impact and was out without finishing the match. meanwhile Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra, while stressing on the upcoming matches, warned that if Samson does not perform well, he could be dropped. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sanju Samson During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it is important to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing brilliantly until he was run out. But how much better Sanju Samson played. Gautam Gambhir had said long ago that if Sanju Samson does not play for India then it is a loss for the team. Gautam Gambhir made him open. He looked good and scored 29 runs. What I am saying is that when he had scored so many runs, he should have gone further. If he does not do this then he will be dropped. He was constantly in and out of the team. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson may get a chance to open in the next two matches and there he will have to try to play big innings. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, he will get a chance in the upcoming series.

Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Nitish Reddy Aakash Chopra, in a video shared on his YouTube channel, said, “They must be praying that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains uncapped. They might be saying – ‘Please don’t play him in the T20 series.’ Like Harshit Rana, his name is also in that team and if he gets a chance to play, he will also dominate.” Chopra said that when it comes to capped retention, captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head will be SRH’s preferred choices. Chopra said, “First of all they have to retain the captain and Abhishek Sharma. You have to retain Heinrich Klaasen and if you can get Travis Head that’s great. These four names come to my mind first. Pat Cummins, since he is the captain, and he has managed the team very well, you would want to retain him.” Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had performed brilliantly with the bat in IPL 2024. He finished the tournament with an explosive strike rate of 204.22. Chopra said that SRH should retain this player as he can be one of the most expensive players if he goes to the auction.

Chopra expressed his opinion that SRH captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Travis Head could be the primary options for their capped retentions. “Abhishek Sharma can go for Rs 10 to 18 crore in the auction” Akash Chopra Aakash Chopra said, “Abhishek Sharma is a necessary retention. If Abhishek Sharma goes in the auction, he can go for Rs 10 to 18 crores. Therefore they should also be retained. Abhishek Sharma will be my second pick.” After this, he also mentioned Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head and said that SRH should retain both of them, because both of them cannot go for Rs 14 crore in the IPL auction, but their talent is considered very high.
After India’s victory in the IND vs BAN test series, Aakash Chopra made a big statement about Jasprit Bumrah.
India won the test series 2-0. Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) India has recently won the test series against Bangladesh. So, a big statement has come out from former Indian opening batsman and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra regarding the performance of Jasprit Bumrah in this series. Akash says that Bumrah’s bowling in this series will be especially remembered because he took the wicket of an experienced player like Mushfiqur Rahim in four innings. It is noteworthy that after winning the second Test match held at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur by 7 wickets, India won the Test series 2-0. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after India’s Test series win against Bangladesh, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The third biggest reason for India’s victory in this series will be Jasprit Bumrah, what a bowler he is. He plays very few matches for India at home, but now he has started playing, because now there are three bowlers playing in the team, so you think that these are favorable conditions, but it is not so. Chopra further said- Catchers were going in the slip on the Kanpur pitch, it was a bad pitch and the balls were staying low. When people were releasing balls, he tried to hit their stumps. The wicket number of a senior player like Mushfiqur Rahim was in his pocket. On the other hand, India will now look to win the three-match Test series starting from October 6, after eliminating Bangladesh in the Test series. The beginning of this series will be played in the recently completed New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior.

After this Bangladesh was all out for 146 runs in the second innings. Team India achieved the target of 95 runs by losing three wickets. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The second reason due to which this series will be remembered by everyone is that history has been made. You people will say what is the big deal in this that we defeated Bangladesh whereas they had defeated Pakistan before that. You cannot beat India because no team has been able to do that till now. First, the way of playing has changed. We played on a pitch where the team is bowling first after winning the toss. That too with three fast bowlers. This means that you are challenging yourself. If we talk about Kanpur, only 35 overs were bowled on the first day while there was no play on the second and third days. You guys said there would be a 100% draw. We won the match with 40 overs left: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘We won the match when 40 overs were left. Only one and a half day’s play was left and two and a half day’s play could not be played. However, despite this we registered victory. No one expected that we would win this match but we have achieved a great feat. Regarding Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra said, ‘This match and series will remember the legacy of Rohit Sharma as a Test captain because without the change in mentality and confidence of the captain, this series would not have been won 2-0. Rohit Sharma captained very well and his mentality was also positive.

“We are not wrongly giving him the status of ‘Prince’”- Why did Aakash Chopra give such a statement about Gill
Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is in great form these days. He recently scored a brilliant century in the second innings of the Test match played against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gill was greatly applauded after that innings. Meanwhile, now former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big statement on Shubman Gill. Aakash Chopra believes that Shubman Gill has proved the ‘Prince’ tag right. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra defended Gill, citing the number of centuries he has scored in international cricket since the start of 2020, which is actually more than the centuries scored by players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Aakash Chopra made a big statement in praise of Shubman Gill The former Indian cricketer further said, “Who has scored the most centuries for Team India this decade? This is very interesting. There was a tweet from CricCrazyJohns, and we said that we never realized this. He wrote about the most centuries for India in this decade in international cricket, “Shubman Gill has scored 12 centuries in 114 innings, it is absolutely phenomenal.” Chopra further added that the “Prince” nickname attached to Gill was not at all unfair, as he provided the exact stats of Rohit and Kohli in comparison to Gill. The former batsman further added that, “Rohit Sharma has played 148 innings in the same time frame and scored 10 centuries. Virat Kohli has played 149 innings and scored 10 centuries and both of them are our GOAT. So Shubman Gill is going way ahead with 12 centuries. We are not giving him the status of ‘Prince’ unfairly.” Chopra further said that according to him, Gill has come to Team India to set some big records because it seems like success has been added to his bloodstream. Chopra said, “It is in his DNA. I am saying that this guy is running towards greatness because he feels, in fact he is confident. If he tries to do something in his mind, greatness comes out. This is a very good story for Indian cricket.”
Aakash Chopra feels Rishabh Pant can become India’s greatest Test batsman, read the big news
Pant has made a great comeback in Test cricket Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team cricketer Aakash Chopra has recently made a big statement about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Chopra has expressed doubt on whether Pant can be considered India’s greatest Test batsman or not? It is worth noting that after the terrible car accident in the year 2022, Pant has recently returned to red ball cricket in the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. On his return to Test cricket, Pant appeared in his old familiar style and proved his usefulness by scoring a century. Pant has scored 6 centuries in 34 Test matches played so far, which is equal to Dhoni’s 6 centuries scored in 90 Test matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Akash Chopra said on Colors Cineplex- whether Pant is India’s greatest Test batsman or not, if MS Dhoni’s name is in that list then it will be questionable. However, if you look at the performance done in SENA countries, then Pant is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in South Africa, England and Australia. Chopra further said- He (Rishabh Pant) has already scored six centuries in Test cricket. For this he has played only 58 innings, even though he is not India’s greatest Test batsman right now, he can definitely end his career as the greatest player. On the other hand, if we talk about Pant, he is currently in action in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. After performing brilliantly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant will now be eyeing a better performance in the second Test match starting in Kanpur from September 27.
