(Image Source: X) Team India recently registered a spectacular victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, in which India did not lose a single match in the entire tournament under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. India won the title by defeating South Africa in the final match. While this night was the most special for the Indian team, it proved to be a very disappointing night for South Africa. South Africa’s star batsman David Miller recently shared his feelings after losing the T20 World Cup final. He told what emotions he went through when Suryakumar Yadav caught his catch on the boundary rope. What happened in the final match of IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024? South Africa needed 16 runs to win in the last over of the match. Hardik Pandya bowled the last over. On the very first ball, Miller played a straight shot, which looked like it was going for a six. However, Suryakumar Yadav took a brilliant catch on the boundary rope, in which he caught the ball after juggling it several times. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Miller said, “It is very difficult to explain, but yes, I was angry at that moment. Disappointment, failure, all these negative things came to my mind. I watch a lot of different sports and they always talk about that moment when you get a chance to win the game. Maybe that was that moment for me. But it didn’t happen. I took it very hard. I felt like I let down my country, myself and my teammates. At that moment, I didn’t even feel like leaving the field.” “I thought I put enough power on the ball”: David Miller Moreover, when David Miller was asked if he would have changed anything if he played that shot again, he said that it was all a matter of small differences and he could not get the right connection with the ball. Miller said, “No, maybe I would have made a little better contact in the shot. I was not expecting a full toss at all. I always have a full toss in my mind, but it surprised me a little and my contact went a little wrong. However, the wind was blowing slightly in the opposite direction, which made it a little difficult for the ball to fly. I felt I put enough power on the ball, but it could not cross the boundary line.”

From 2025, men’s and women’s domestic cricketers will be paid the same minimum starting salary. The board’s move coincides with the inaugural edition of the Women’s County Championship.

This is another positive step for women’s cricket – Director of Women’s Professional Game Barrett-Wild Director of Women’s Professional Game Barrett-Wild said that it is important to make cricket as attractive for young girls as it is for boys and the decision taken by the board is an important step in this direction.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Barrett-Wild said, Equalising starting salaries across our men’s and women’s professional domestic game is another positive step forward for women’s cricket in England and Wales. The changes we have made to the structure of women’s domestic cricket over the last nine months are about creating a sustainable and viable product that is attractive off the field as well as quality on it. As part of this, it is vital that our players are paid the right wages, and that cricket is seen not only as a viable career option for women, but as an attractive option. Every decision we are making is about making cricket as attractive a sport for young girls as it is for boys. We know we still have work to do in this area but we are moving fast. England Cricket Board has taken this decision due to this report This decision by the England Cricket Board has been taken in view of the report of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) in June 2023, which calls for fundamental changes in the salary structure of England’s women’s cricket (fundamental overhaul) It has been said about.

Let us tell you, when the report came out, the minimum salary of men’s first-class county players was around £27,500.

This is really a very talented team and we are capable of performing our best no matter what the format is. If we have to be successful then the team will also have to take some important decisions.

However, before the start of the Test series against India, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a two-match home Test series. After this performance of Bangladesh, it was expected that they could give a tough fight to India in India, but this did not happen. India defeated Bangladesh in all three departments and won and took a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. India’s bowling performance was excellent. Bumrah’s pace and the spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja did not take long to take 20 wickets. Bumrah took four wickets in Bangladesh’s first innings, due to which Bangladesh was bowled out for just 149 runs. Meanwhile, impressed by the Indian pitches, former Pakistan cricket team player Basit Ali has made a big statement. Basit says that pitches have no value in Pakistan.

This is the result of 20 wickets, the bowlers ticked all the boxes. Keeping in mind that the ball will spin, India played two spinners and it happened, so the credit goes to the pitch curator, who knows how to prepare a Test match pitch. Not like us, I am not going that way, but I am full of anger. Basit further said- The pitch has no value in our country. They are illiterate people, people who have played cricket with pride and these people are in PCB. This is why I get angry, what are you teaching your players?

I discussed ‘mindset’ while bowling with him and once asked him about the mindset while bowling to a particular batsman. He gave very good suggestions and ideas, answered all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and it reflects in his bowling. His ability to understand the batsman before bowling is amazing. He is a talented bowler and it is not easy to follow in his footsteps. On the other hand, if we talk about Akashdeep and Jaspreet Bumrah, both of them were recently seen playing in the first test match played against Bangladesh in Chennai. So now both of them can be seen playing together in the test match to be held in Kanpur from 27 September.

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.
