Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the three-match T29 series against New Zealand. Mike Hussey (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) starting from November 22, there is a continuous discussion about the form of senior batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand, Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively. India also had to face 3-0 defeat in the series. After such performances by the current captain and the former captain, the Indian management has been forced to think about the future of both the players in the longest format of the game. On the other hand, amidst all this, a big statement of former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey has come out. Hussey says that it is absolutely ridiculous for cricket pundits to say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. Mike Hussey gave a big statement In a recent conversation with Times of India before the start of BGT, Mike Hussey said – We have seen champion players being dropped from the team many times. Cricket pundits come out and say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. I mean, it’s absolutely ridiculous. He is a legend and a great player. He is a player to be proud of. Hussey further said- If you dismiss them, you will end up having a negative impact on your face, because they will perform well again. They’re so good you don’t want to do that. I think it is foolish to write him off and also to write off the Indian team. Well, now it will be worth watching how these two great players are going to perform against Australia in Australia? However, due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit will not be able to take part in the first Test match to be held in Perth.

IND vs NZ: It is absolutely wrong to think that modern-day Indian batsmen can play spin better than anyone else: Simon Doull

(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.

The criticism we are facing is absolutely justified: Mohammad Rizwan gave his side on Pakistan team’s performance in T20 World Cup
According to Mohammad Rizwan, all the players are unhappy with their T20 World Cup 2024 performance Mohammed Rizwan (Photo Source- Getty Images) The performance of the Pakistan team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was very poor and this is the reason why they could not make it to the Super 8. Pakistan had to face defeat against USA. After this, the team was also defeated by India. Although Pakistan won its next two matches, the team failed to make it to the Super 8. Many former players and fans criticized the Pakistan team on social media. Now wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has put forth his point of view regarding the criticism of the Pakistan team. According to Rizwan, the players could not live up to the expectations and it is absolutely right to criticize them. According to NDTV Sports, Mohammad Rizwan while talking to the media said, ‘The criticism that the team is facing is absolutely justified. We have not been able to live up to the expectations and that is why we should face this criticism. Players who cannot face criticism can never be successful.’ We are disappointed with our T20 World Cup performance: Mohammad Rizwan According to Mohammad Rizwan, all the players are unhappy with their performance in T20 World Cup 2024. He also said that there are many factors behind this defeat and the players failed to perform the role given to them well. Mohammad Rizwan further said, ‘All the players are very disappointed with their performance. There are many reasons behind this defeat. When the team loses, it is not right to say that they bowled or batted well. The President of the Pakistan Cricket Board did his job very well. The President has the full right to decide who should be in the team and who should not.’ Currently, some Pakistani players are participating in the ongoing Lanka Premier League 2024 while the rest of the players will be seen playing in the remaining franchise league cricket. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Kohli’s form doesn’t matter, because… for the first time, Sanjay Manjrekar’s words will seem absolutely correct
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he is not worried about Virat Kohli’s current form. Virat Kohli Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday 29 June at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Virat fans are worried whether their star batsman will show form in the final match or not. It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is going through a very bad form in this T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli’s bat, which spewed fire in IPL 2024, is not able to work its magic in this mega tournament. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in this year’s World Cup, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. In the semi-final of the T20 World Cup i.e. India vs England, Kohli could score only 9 runs. In that match, Kohli was having difficulty in touching the ball with his bat. Fans and Team India would like him to do something amazing in the final match. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Team India is not worried about Virat Kohli’s form Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he has no concerns about Virat Kohli’s current form. Let’s read his full statement – “I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form, because the form of the entire team is more important. Of course India will win the T20 World Cup 2024. India has played T20 cricket in a modern way and the result is that they are in the final.” Sanjay Manjrekar believes that this time captain Rohit Sharma has led Team India with a very fearless approach. In such a situation, he feels that this new strategy will get India their World Cup trophy after a long time. Which 3 South African players will be a threat to India? Sanjay Manjrekar has named South African fast bowlers Anrique Norkhia, Kagiso Rabada, and Quinton de Kock as the biggest threat to India.

Sunil Gavaskar and RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) In the IPL playoffs, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is going to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) today on 22nd May. This match will be played between the two teams at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, before the start of this match, a big statement has come from former Indian cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar says that what RCB has done in IPL is unprecedented. It is noteworthy that in the ongoing IPL, RCB was able to win only 1 out of the first 8 matches played. But after this, he has qualified for the playoffs by winning his last 6 matches consecutively. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding RCB Let us tell you that before the match of Royal Challengers Bangalore against Rajasthan Royals, Gavaskar said on Star Sports Cricket Live – What RCB has done in IPL this year is unprecedented. At first the players believed that they could make a comeback. Senior players of the team, Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and other senior people would have motivated the team. Some players of the team must have reached such a situation where they felt that they had lost everything. But the team depended on senior players, and they have done it. Faf and Virat have played exceptional cricket in IPL. Gavaskar further said about the eliminator match – On the other hand, there is Rajasthan, which has lost its last four matches, and the performance in the last match was also not good. If he doesn’t do anything special in the eliminator match, it could prove to be a one-sided match. I fear that this match may prove to be one-sided. RCB is playing phenomenal cricket in IPL and they can dominate RR in this match.
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma got angry on the rule of Impact player, said “Absolutely shoddy…”
Rohit Sharma (Pic Source-X) Rohit Sharma’s statement on impact player rule in IPL, Mumbai Indians player and Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has said that the impact player rule in IPL is not beneficial for Indian cricket. He also explained how this rule will not benefit Indian cricket. Rohit has given these statements while talking in a podcast. Speaking in a podcast, Rohit said, I am not very impressed with the impact rule. Impact player rule Has reduced the importance of all-rounder players. Cricket is a game of 11 players. Changes are being made to the game to make the matches more attractive. What did Rohit Sharma say on the impact player rule? Impact player rule Commenting on, Rohit said- “The new rule is not good for all-rounders like Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey. Sundar gets fewer matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Shivam Dubey, who scored runs for Chennai Super Kings, is yet to bowl in the tournament. If you look at it from a cricket perspective, I think players like Shivam Dubey and Washington Sundar are not seen bowling, which is not a good thing for us (Indian team).” Speaking further, Rohit said- “I don’t know what this will achieve. There are 12 players playing in the match, this may be interesting for you. You pick impressive players by looking at the match situation and considering the pitch. If you bat well and do not lose wickets, then you choose a bowler which gives you the option of sixth or seventh bowler. You don’t need an extra batsman because many teams are batting well and a number seven or eight batsman will hardly come into any match.”
