DTVHINDI“Dhoni didn’t bat much in the nets, he preferred bowling”- Aakash Chopra narrated a funny anecdote about Mahi
Aakash Chopra recalls how MS Dhoni’s breathtaking shot stunned him. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Before MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik debuted for India as a wicketkeeper-batsman. While Dhoni later went on to become the most successful wicketkeeper-batsman, Karthik’s place in the team suffered due to his unavailability. With the competition getting tough, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra revealed that the Ranchi batsman used to bowl to Karthik in the nets. Indian player Aakash Chopra also shared a funny anecdote related to Dhoni. He said that while playing for India A, Dhoni played a shot which he did not practice in the nets. It was in 2004, when Aakash Chopra and MS Dhoni were in Bangalore for India A’s camp. Akash Chopra made a big revelation about MS Dhoni Akash Chopra, while recalling his old days with MS Dhoni, said that ‘Dhoni and I have a very old relationship. I had played for India by then. We had a camp in Bangalore. When I reached the hotel, I was told that Dhoni is my roommate. I was told that he is from Ranchi. I had seen Dhoni playing in the Deodhar Trophy earlier as well. Where he had scored a lot of runs. Apart from this, I did not know him much at that time. Then we were roommates in Bangalore for a month. Dhoni was carefree. While playing for India, he played a reverse sweepshot against a Pakistani bowler named Iftikhar Anjum which was beyond my imagination. Because I had never seen Dhoni hit such a shot in the nets. Dhoni did not bat much in the nets. He used to bowl to other batsmen in the nets except Dinesh Karthik. Akash further said, ‘Dhoni’s phone used to ring a lot. But he never picked up the phone. ‘Once I asked Dhoni what time he sleeps. He said that you can sleep whenever you feel like it. Dhoni was a non-vegetarian and I was a vegetarian. But he ate vegetarian food for 1 month for me. He was also very shy at that time.’
“Iyer does not get a place in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy”- Pak cricketer spews venom on Shreyas
Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who started his Test career in a good way, is not even being considered in the Test format at the moment. His scores in the current edition of the Duleep Trophy so far are 9, 54 and 0. He has not been able to do anything special with the bat so far and its effect is now visible on his captaincy as well. Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has strongly criticized Iyer. Basit apologized to the Indians while criticizing Iyer. Let us tell you that Iyer was out on zero after playing 7 balls in the first innings in the second round of Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali made a sharp comment on Shreyas Iyer Basit said on his YouTube channel, “As a cricketer, it is sad to see that despite playing in the top order, Shreyas Iyer’s bat did not work. He came at number three. Whether he gets out in the slip or caught behind is not an issue. But if you are getting out in front, it means that your concentration is not in cricket, especially in the red ball format. I am saying this sentence with apologies. He scored two centuries in the ODI World Cup. He won the IPL 2024 trophy as captain. He should score centuries and double centuries in the Duleep Trophy.” He further said, “Iyer is lucky that Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were not selected in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy. I feel that Iyer has no hunger left for red ball cricket. I feel that he is only hungry for boundaries. This should not happen. He should give priority to cricket. If Iyer thinks that by scoring two centuries in the World Cup, he has become a player like Virat Kohli, then this is not the case at all. Virat Kohli’s level is different.” The former cricketer further said, “I want to say one thing to those who like Iyer. I am saying this with apologies to Indians that if Basit Ali was an Indian cricketer, Iyer would not have got a place in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy. I say what is in my heart. If you are bad people then sorry. Iyer should respect cricket. He is not respecting cricket.”

Let us tell you that India will return to action for the first time after losing 0-2 in the ODI series against Sri Lanka last month.

“CSK is better than Mumbai Indians because…”, Krishnappa Gautam created a sensation with this statement
What I like most about CSK is that they will make sure you are comfortable – Krishnappa Gowtham Krishnappa Gowtham and MS Dhoni (Photo Source: BCCI) Indian player Krishnappa Gautam believes that the dressing room of Chennai Super Kings is better than the dressing room of Mumbai Indians. Krishnappa Gautam was seen playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. Earlier, he has been a part of Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. They will make sure you are comfortable – Krishnappa Gowtham Krishnappa Gowtham, while talking in an exclusive interview with CricTracker, said that Mumbai Indians leave no stone unturned in taking care of their players. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings not only takes care of their players but also ensures that their families are happy, everyone is in a good mood and mental state and this is what makes CSK special. Krishnappa Gautham said, I think Mumbai has a very professional setup. When it comes to Mumbai, everything is very organised. When it comes to Chennai, they are also professional and organised. They have everything that Mumbai has, but what I like most about CSK is that they will make sure that you are comfortable and at the same time they will make sure that your whole family is comfortable. They believe that if people around you are comfortable and they are happy, then you can perform at your best. They make sure that everyone is in a good condition and a good mental state. Before IPL 2017, Mumbai Indians bought Krishnappa Gowtham for 2 crores, but he did not get opportunities and the franchise released him before the 2018 mega auction. Rajasthan Royals bought Gowtham in the mega auction, that season he played 15 matches and took 11 wickets at an economy of 7.80. Krishnappa played a brilliant innings of 33 runs in 11 balls in the match against Mumbai Indians, on the basis of which Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai by 3 wickets at Wankhede.

Duleep Trophy 2024: Ishan Kishan entered India C team overnight, fans confused
Ishan Kishan is playing for India C in the Duleep Trophy. Ishan Kishan (Pic Source-X) Star wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan is working hard these days to make a comeback in Team India. For this, he was recently seen playing in the Buchi Babu tournament, however, he got injured during this tournament and due to this, his name was not in the first two rounds of the Duleep Trophy. But in the meantime, when Ishan Kishan suddenly entered Round 2 of the Duleep Trophy, everyone was stunned. Actually, Kishan is trying his hand in domestic cricket these days, learning from his mistakes. After taking a sudden break from the South Africa tour last year, Kishan had distanced himself from domestic cricket. Despite BCCI’s instructions, he did not participate in big tournaments like Ranji Trophy, due to which he had to suffer the consequences of being out of the central contract. But now he is trying his best to get himself back in the team by performing in domestic cricket. Duleep Trophy 2024: Ishan Kishan is playing for India C Today, on 12 September, when the second round of Duleep Trophy started, Ishan Kishan’s name was seen in India C’s playing XI. Ishan Kishan is not playing as a wicketkeeper but as a batsman, he has been included in the team in place of Aryan Juyal. What is even more interesting is that there has been no statement from BCCI about Kishan, neither the board gave any update on his injury nor on his playing Duleep Trophy. In such a situation, the fans are quite confused after seeing Kishan playing. Let us tell you that earlier BCCI had issued a statement regarding Ishan Kishan’s injury, “Wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the first round of the Duleep Trophy due to a back injury sustained during the All India Buchi Babu Tournament. The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring his condition and working towards his speedy recovery.” Recently, when BCCI announced the updated squad for the Duleep Trophy after announcing India’s squad for the Bangladesh series, Ishan Kishan’s name was not there either. But today everyone is surprised to see Ishan Kishan in the playing eleven. At the time of writing this news, Ishan Kishan is unbeaten on 92 runs in the match against India B.
“Is Ravi Shastri a ‘yes man’?”, when captain Virat Kohli got angry at the media’s question, he gave a befitting reply
I have made more changes to my game by listening to him (Ravi Shastri) than anyone else in the past – Virat Kohli Ravi Shastri & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri was the director of the Indian team from 2014-16, after which he was appointed the head coach of the team in 2017. Ravi Shastri replaced Anil Kumble, who resigned from the post after a one-year tenure. According to reports, after the rift with Anil Kumble, Virat Kohli was adamant on making Shastri the coach. During the tenure of former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, it was often said that he is a ‘yes man’, meaning he agrees with captain Kohli. In 2018, during the press conference before the Australia tour, Virat Kohli was asked whether Ravi Shastri is a ‘yes man’? Kohli called the question bizarre and responded by calling Shastri a man of integrity and said that he often rejects his ideas in favor of the team. I can take the right advice from him- Virat Kohli According to ESPNcricinfo, Virat Kohli replied in the press conference saying, About saying ‘yes’ all the time, that’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard, I don’t think there’s anyone in Indian cricket who has said ‘no’ to me more than him. Honestly, because he’s someone I can talk to and get a genuine opinion and he’ll tell me something that if it doesn’t need to be done, it doesn’t need to be done. I’ve made more changes to my game by listening to him than anyone else in the past. Ravi Shastri was the head coach of the Indian team from 2017 to 2021. Let us tell you, in 2017 itself, Virat Kohli was appointed captain of all three formats. A new era of Indian Test cricket began under the duo. The team won 22 out of 39 Tests. In 2021, India won the Test series in Australia for the first time and the team was the number-1 team in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021.

Greater Noida Stadium (Pic Source-X) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9th September. However, not even a single ball has been bowled in this match so far. Let us tell you, the game could not start on the first day of this only Test due to rain. It rained only for a short time but due to wet outfield and lack of proper facilities, not even a single ball could be bowled on the first and second day of the match. According to the report, the manager of Greater Noida Sports Complex Stadium did not take Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association into the loop for the only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand. The officials of Afghanistan Cricket Board were also at fault in this. Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association had called several times to organize a meeting so that they could also know what things are urgently needed by the board and the players. Not only this, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association also said that the match should be held in Green Park because UP T20 league is being played in Ekana Cricket Stadium. However, people of Greater Noida Authority and some officials of Afghanistan Cricket Board organized this match in the rain to make money. Not only this, laborers were taken from Labor Chowk to manage the ground. This is the reason that there was no facility in Greater Noida Sports Complex Stadium to protect the ground from rain.
