Team India’s new beginnin-💴💴💙🇮🇳@ArohiThatte gives us some insight into #MenInBlue‘s day 1️⃣ training session 🏏#SonySportsNetwork #SLvIND #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/eI0PViYgEq — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) July 24, 2024 Although Samson has been selected in the T20 squad, the team already has a wicketkeeper batsman in the form of Rishabh Pant. In such a situation, it is not clear whether the captain of Rajasthan Royals will be included in Team India’s playing eleven or not. It is very unfortunate that Samson made his T20 debut for India in 2015 at the age of only 20. In the last 9 years, he has been able to play only 28 matches for Team India. Now it remains to be seen how many opportunities Sanju Samson gets on this tour of Sri Lanka. The first T20 match of the series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July.
Former Indian batting coach made a big prediction about Shubman Gill
Gill has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian young player Shubman Gill captained Team India for the first time on the Zimbabwe tour and under his leadership the young brigade won the T20 series 4-1. Earlier, he has captained Gujarat Titans. Now he has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, former Indian batting coach Vikram Rathod believes that one day Gill will captain India in all three formats. In the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, Shubman Gill’s team had to face a big defeat in the very first match and in the IPL too, Gujarat Titans failed to perform well under his captaincy. In such a situation, questions started arising as soon as the first match was lost. However, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, the team won the series by registering consecutive wins in the remaining four matches. I am sure he will succeed in this role- Vikram Rathod Meanwhile, Vikram Rathore was quoted by NDTV Sports as saying, “Whatever I have seen of him, whether it was for Gujarat Titans or in Zimbabwe (when Gill captained the T20 series), he has done a good job. He has shown great body language, which is very important if you are leading a team. Now the BCCI has given him additional responsibility with the vice-captaincy and I am sure he will thrive in the role.” He further said, I think it is because of captaincy that Virat and Rohit could give their best and I think Shubman Gill will do the same. Although he is not the captain yet, but being in the leadership group, he will also give his best. Rathore said, I am sure that when you are in that role, leading others, it gives you additional responsibility, which is good. I think it is great for a youngster like Shubman, who can one day captain India in all three formats.

“Because of captaincy in IPL….” Rituraj Gaikwad made a bold statement about his batting
Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Ruturaj Gaikwad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The third match of the 5-match T20 series between India and Zimbabwe will be played at Harare Sports Club on July 10. Talking about the 2 matches played so far, Zimbabwe has won one, while in the second match, India made a great comeback by winning and leveled the series 1-1. Rituraj Gaikwad made a great comeback After getting out for 7 runs in the first match, Gaikwad proved his form in the second match by playing a brilliant unbeaten innings of 77 runs. Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Notably, Gaikwad was appointed the captain of CSK ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) after Dhoni resigned from the captaincy. The 27-year-old had a good start to his captaincy tenure as Chennai began the tournament with four wins out of the first six matches. However, the team failed to maintain the momentum and missed out on a playoff berth after losing their last match against RCB. Despite failing to take his team to the playoffs in his first stint as captain, Gaikwad has learned a lot as he now wants to bat with responsibility and finish the game on his own. He feels he is now more involved in the game than before. Let’s find out what he said- “Nothing much has changed really, batting has remained the same. It is all about playing with responsibility and finishing it on your own, so nothing has changed. It just depends on how you approach the game each time. You have captained an IPL franchise for a long time, so now you are more involved in the game. So, you stay in the game for a longer period of time rather than just hitting boundaries and focusing on one ball.”
Aggressiveness has been seen in Babar Azam’s batting: Mushtaq Ahmed made a big statement about the Pakistani captain
According to Mushtaq Ahmed, Babar Azam’s batting has shown a lot of aggression in the recent times and he is changing it very fast. Babar Azam (Pic Source x) The performance of Pakistan team captain Babar Azam has not been so good for some time.

The team had to face defeat against USA and India in this important tournament. Babar Azam’s captaincy in this tournament was criticized by many people. However, former player Mushtaq Ahmed has praised Babar Azam and has also given his opinion about his batting. According to Mushtaq Ahmed, Babar Azam’s batting has seen a lot of aggression in the last few times and he is changing it very fast. Mushtaq Ahmed said, ‘In the last few years, Babar Azam’s batting has shown a lot of aggression. If so much change is seen in one person, then I think it is a lot. It is also the job of the other players to score runs. It is very important for them to play their role well. If one player is giving you the score, then it is very important for the other players to score runs as well.’ Apart from Babar Azam, other players are not doing their job well: Mushtaq Ahmed The former player further said, ‘This has been happening in the last three to four years. The rest of the players are not doing their job well and the entire pressure is coming on Babar Azam. If we talk about Babar Azam, then there is a main reason behind why people all over the world respect him. He brings respect to Pakistan. I think sometimes people speak too much about him.’ Let us tell you, Babar Azam failed to bat well in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. His captaincy was also very poor. However, now Babar Azam would like to perform his best in the upcoming matches. 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?
