DTVHINDI“Make Akshar the captain, he is greatly underestimated”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the captaincy of DC.
Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) should appoint Axar Patel as their captain before KL Rahul for IPL 2025. He said that the spin-bowling all-rounder has been a great performer for the franchise and will lead the team well. Delhi Capitals had released their last season’s captain Rishabh Pant before the auction, while retaining Akshar for ₹16.50 crore. They failed to re-acquire Pant but bought Rahul for ₹14 crore. Delhi Capitals should make Akshar Patel the captain – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Who will be the captain? Their situation is like KKR. Could be Akshar Patel. I have no objection to him becoming the captain. If you give me a choice, I would say make Akshar the captain. He is very underrated, very mature, performs brilliantly and will run the team very well. He is a player who will be respected.” Delhi Capitals have included KL Rahul in their camp by paying Rs 14 crore, this is also being said to be the steeliest deal of this auction. On one hand, the bid for Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer has crossed Rs 26 crores, on the other hand, if a team gets a player like KL Rahul for Rs 14 crores, then it would not be wrong to call it the steeliest deal. Chopra further said, “KL Rahul can be another option. The third option could be Faf du Plessis, if they so choose, but they cannot start Faf from the start as they have used the Right to Match (RTM) card for Jake Fraser-McGurk. So I am thinking between Akshar and Rahul, but the management has not given any clarity yet. My vote is in favor of Akshar because his performance on this field has been exceptional.”

SA vs IND: “Why are you playing Axar Patel…?” Akash Chopra angry at Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy
We are saying that you are playing with three spinners, but you are not able to play them (Axar Patel) properly- Aakash Chopra Axar Patel & Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Team India had to face defeat by 3 wickets in the second T20 match against South Africa. South Africa chased the target of 125 runs in 19 overs. The series between the two teams is now tied at 1-1. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has raised big questions on the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In fact, in the first two matches of the series against South Africa, Axar Patel has bowled only one over each, while the pitches were favorable for spinners. And in the matches played so far, spinners Varun Chakraborty and Ravi Bishnoi have achieved a lot of success. What are we really doing with Akshar Patel?- Aakash Chopra While talking about the video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “What are we really doing with Akshar Patel? Why are you playing him? Let’s clear it up a bit. Axar Patel – One over at Kingsmead (Durban), and here too just one over. On a pitch where six out of seven wickets were taken by spinners, he bowled only one over.” Chopra says that he is not thinking much about Axar Patel’s batting, but not making Axar Patel bowl more is a big mistake of captain Suryakumar Yadav. In my opinion, they are being underutilized as a resource. We are saying that you are playing with three spinners, but you are not able to play them properly. I am not thinking too much about the batting failure, but it was a mistake on Surya’s part not to bowl to Axar Patel. Chopra said this regarding Akshar Patel’s run out Akshar Patel handled India’s faltering innings in the second T20 match and scored 27 runs with the help of 4 fours in 21 balls. He was run out in the 12th over by Nakaba Peter. Aakash Chopra further emphasized that it was difficult to run out Axar Patel, but it was due to the disappointing performance of the top order and the rest of the batsmen. You sent him up while batting. He was unlucky to get run out. No one else performed well with the bat, be it Sanju Samson in the beginning or Abhishek Sharma’s continued struggle against bouncers.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.
“This seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Rohit’s captaincy
Team India has made three changes in the playing XI for the Pune Test match against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: The Indian team is currently playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand. The second test match of the series is being played at Pune MCA Stadium. Three changes have been made in the playing 11 for this match. Head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma have entered the second test with a new team combination. The problems of the Indian team have increased after losing the first test of the three-match series against New Zealand. Keeping this in mind, Rohit has given a chance to Akash Deep, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar in the playing 11 of the Pune Test match, while Mohammad Siraj, KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav have been kept on the bench. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also raised a valid question regarding this. When Shubman Gill returned to the playing XI fit, KL Rahul was dropped to make his place in the team. While Kuldeep Yadav, who did not do anything special in Bengaluru, Washington Sundar was brought in his place in the team, while Mohammad Siraj also did not look in that rhythm in Bengaluru and Akashdeep has been entered in his place in the playing XI. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding the changes in Team India Regarding this change, former legend Sunil Gavaskar believes that for the second Test against New Zealand, India might have nervously included Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven. Gavaskar told the match broadcasters after the toss on Thursday, “It seems to be a nervous decision by the Indian team. “You don’t often make three changes in a team.” Gavaskar said, “Unless there is an injury concern, I don’t see many teams making three changes. The inclusion of Washington Sundar shows that they are worried about their batting. More than bowling, they need his batting lower down the order.” He said, ‘Yes, there is a lot of discussion about left-handed batsmen in New Zealand’s batting unit, but I would choose Kuldeep Yadav because his ball moves outside off for left-handed batsmen.

He understands the game very well. He’s got a pretty good head on his shoulders. If we look closely, he has not captained much. Jasprit Bumrah has captained only one Test and a few T20 matches but when he is talked to about the game, he understands it all. They know what is needed most. When you are in a situation and you want your captain to come forward, I think Bumrah is one of them. Jasprit Bumrah is one of the experienced players: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has been in our leadership group for a long time. Players also get a lot of encouragement from his presence and he himself has been one of the experienced players.
