Avesh Khan praised head coach Gambhir Meanwhile, the fast bowler told BCCI ahead of the fourth T20 International against Zimbabwe on Saturday, “What I learned from him is about the mindset that you should always perform better than your opponent and give your 100 percent for the team. He said, “He speaks very little in team meetings and one-on-one conversations but is very clear about what needs to be done. He puts some challenges in front of you and assigns roles to the players. He has always been a ‘team coach’. He wants to win at all costs and he wants every player to give his 100 percent contribution.” Speaking about the conditions in Harare, Avesh said that he is enjoying bowling here. He has taken six wickets in the three matches played in the current series. He said, “We have played on different wickets here. We played the first two matches on the same wicket. In the first match, it was giving good bounce but in the second match it became flat. The conditions are good and because this ground is open, the ball is also swinging a bit.”

“I don’t believe in injury and workload management”- Gautam Gambhir created a sensation with this statement as soon as he became the head coach
Team India is scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka next month for the ODI and T20I series. Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X) For the first time after becoming the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir has given his statement on the injury and workload management of the players. But the statement given by Gambhir on this may irritate those players who often get injured. In the present times, looking at the way cricket is being played every day, injury management and workload management of the players are often mentioned. However, it is believed that after Gambhir becomes the head coach, some big changes will be seen in Indian cricket, the biggest change of which will be that the players will not get the break they want. Team India has to tour Sri Lanka next month to participate in the ODI and T20 International series and this will be the first assignment of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding injury and workload management Just before the start of the Sri Lanka series, Gambhir has clearly said that if a player gets injured, he can recover and make a comeback, but he will not be given breaks repeatedly in the name of injury and workload management. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, ‘Look, I have a strong belief in one thing that if you can play, then you should play in all three formats. I have never believed in injury management, if you get injured, go and recover, it’s as simple as that. When you play international cricket, you should do as much as you can. If you ask any top player, they want to play all three formats. They don’t want the tag of a red ball bowler or a white ball bowler. Injuries are a part of any player’s career, if you play all three formats and get injured, you can go back and recover and come back into the team. You should play all three formats, I don’t believe much in keeping some players just for Tests, that we will manage his injury, we will manage his workload. Look, as a professional cricketer your career is very short, you are playing for your country, so you should play as much as you can. If you are in very good form, then play all three formats.

After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir is the next head coach of Team India. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X/Twitter) As soon as Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, there has been a stir in Indian cricket. Meanwhile, another media report has surfaced which is related to Gautam Gambhir, hearing which the fans are absolutely surprised. Before appointing Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, the BCCI did not consult Virat Kohli. Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India after the departure of Rahul Dravid. Let us tell you that Rahul Dravid’s tenure recently ended with the T20 World Cup 2024. Under his leadership, Team India played the finals of three ICC tournaments in the last one year, in which India won one and lost two. The kind of bonding Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir share is well known to all the fans. They hugged each other during IPL 2024, but they have been involved in heated arguments many times in the past and it was speculated that Kohli might play a big role in the selection of the new head coach, however, that was not the case when the board appointed Gautam Gambhir. BCCI appointed Gautam Gambhir as head coach without consulting Virat Kohli Virat Kohli has retired from the shortest format of cricket after the T20 World Cup, but it is believed that he will definitely play the ODI format at least till the 2027 World Cup. Keeping all these things in mind, the BCCI appointed Gambhir as the head coach without consulting Kohli. A BCCI source confirmed this to Hindustan Times. The BCCI source said, “There is enough time for talks between the two. But it is important for the BCCI to look at the bigger picture, as many young players can be seen playing for Team India in the coming years.” The report further states that Hardik Pandya was one of the few players whose opinion was taken by the BCCI before appointing Gambhir as India’s head coach. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20, there are chances that Hardik Pandya can be made the captain of the team in this format.
‘It is very difficult and quite tough’, Ruturaj Gaikwad talks in circles on replacing Virat Kohli
Gaikwad believes he hasn’t paid heed to comparisons with Kohli Ruturaj Gaikwad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) India’s star batsmen Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have retired from T20I after winning the T20 World Cup. After the retirement of these three players, there is a discussion about who will replace them? At the same time, the biggest debate is about who will come as Virat Kohli’s replacement? Many experts believe that Ruturaj Gaikwad is technically capable of replacing him. Let us tell you that Ruturaj Gaikwad is currently busy playing the T20 series against Zimbabwe. After failing in the first T20 match, he made a brilliant comeback in the second T20 and scored 77 runs in 47 balls. After this innings, the discussion about him as Kohli’s replacement has gained momentum. However, Gaikwad believes that he has not paid attention to such comparisons. He also said that it is quite difficult to replace Kohli. It is very difficult. Know what Gaikwad said “It’s a big topic and I think this is not the right time to think about it. Even comparing him (Kohli) or trying to replace him is very difficult and hard to do,” Gaikwad said in a video shared by the BCCI. The right-handed batsman further said, as I said in the IPL also that it is difficult to fill the place of Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni). Of course, you want to start your career, you want to start as per your wish, you want to play your game. So, this is my priority right now.
“Trying to convince Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket”- Gavaskar tells India the way to win the WTC trophy
Hardik Pandya has not played any Test match for India since 2018. Ravindra Jadeja and Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India has played both the finals of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) so far and has been runner-up in both. The WTC started in 2019 and the first title match was played in 2021, where New Zealand defeated India to win the trophy. After this, the final match of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship was played between India and Australia in 2023. There too, India had to be content with being the runner-up. WTC 2023-25 is going on and looking at the current situation, once again Team India’s reaching the final match seems almost certain. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has told the way by which Team India can win the Test series in Australia later this year as well as the WTC title next year. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement about Hardik Pandya During an interview with Rev Sports, Sunil Gavaskar was asked, ‘The player who taught Indian cricket fans the meaning of Test cricket, do you think Team India will win in Australia and also win the WTC title?’ To this, Gavaskar said, ‘Yes, of course he can do that. I think efforts should be made to persuade Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket for the next two months. If he bowls 10 overs in a day and bats in his style, it will be impossible to defeat the Indian team and in such a situation, Team India can win in Australia and then win the WTC title as well. Hardik Pandya has played a total of 11 Test matches in his career so far and has scored 532 runs in 18 innings, while taking a total of 17 wickets in 19 innings. Hardik Pandya also has a century in his name in Test cricket. Hardik made his Test debut in 2017, but he has not played any Test match since August 2018.
