That is because their training is different, their body is different, that is why they are different bowlers. Question: Bumrah is currently doing well in all three formats, so who can be the next Indian bowler like him? Praveen Kumar: No, there are a lot of boys. There is a boy named Akashdeep who is doing well, so boys are coming.

The great thing you did was that you (Kohli) created a very strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty/X) A new era of Indian Test cricket began under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. India won 40 out of 68 Test matches, which is the most Test matches won by any Indian captain in history. Kohli changed the nature of the team and focused on the growth of fast bowlers. During Virat Kohli’s tenure, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav dominated in overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli for building a strong bowling line-up during his tenure. Virat has created a strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir During a conversation with BCCI, Gautam Gambhir told Virat Kohli, The great thing you did was that you built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets. Unless you have a strong bowling line-up (one cannot win) and that is what makes you the most successful Test captain of the country. Credit goes to you. As a batsman, it is easy to have a strong six, seven batsmen, but the way you identified and more importantly, your attitude on the field with the fast bowlers. Winning overseas with bowlers like Shami, Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India has won Test matches in England, South Africa and Australia, where the team used to struggle earlier. Let us tell you, Team India was number-1 in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021. Bumrah is the most complete bowler across all formats: Virat Kohli Talking about the bowling culture of Team India, Virat Kohli emphasized that Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. While Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary players. He described Bumrah as an all-format bowler and Mohammed Shami as the most important player in the Test team. When you talk about Ishant Sharma, the first thing that comes to my mind is the match he played against Ricky Ponting (during the 2007-08 tour) in Perth. If you talk about his cricket career, Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. Zaheer Khan has taken a lot of wickets for India in Test cricket and was brilliant in the 50-over World Cup. Mohammed Shami is not a world famous bowler because he is a great T20 bowler. He is one of the best Test bowlers in the world and what he did in the 50-over World Cup has increased his importance even more. Bumrah is the most complete bowler in all formats.

“It is unfair to remove him from captaincy”- Former Pak player came out in support of Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has criticized the decision to remove Shaheen Shah Afridi from the white ball captaincy, saying that it was unfair. He has again advocated for Afridi to be made the captain again. He has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He also indirectly targeted Babar Azam, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that after the ODI World Cup last year, Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After that Shaheen was made the captain of T20 and Shan Masood was made the captain of Test format. Shaheen had to lose the captaincy after just one series. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost 1-4 in the five-match T20 series on the New Zealand tour. After taking over the captaincy from Shaheen, the PCB appointed Babar as the captain of the white ball team. Moeen Khan gave a big statement on Shaheen Afridi being stripped of captaincy According to media reports, former Test captain Moeen said, “Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and the players like him very much. He is the best choice for captaincy in T20. I don’t think anyone else is more suitable than him to take up the responsibility of captain in white ball cricket. It was unfair to remove him from captaincy.” Moeen, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs in his career, said that Pakistan should maintain faith in a captain for a long time. He said, “If there are constant changes, the players will not listen to their captain. If the cricket board gives full support to the captain and assures him of long-term responsibility, the team’s performance will improve.” Babar’s reappointment as Pakistan captain did not go well for the team. Pakistan could not progress beyond the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan was heavily criticized after the defeat against the USA. After this Moeen said, “Azam was not given a chance to wicketkeep after one match and he was dropped after getting out on the very first ball (against the USA). Any player can get out on the first ball, but the tradition of developing players that used to exist here is no longer there. Be it the captain or the management, if they keep changing players so frequently then how can we prepare good players?
Babar’s captaincy is in danger, now PCB can make this player the captain of Pakistan
Currently Babar Azam is the captain of Pakistan’s white ball format. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. (Image Source: Getty Images) After losing the Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh recently, turmoil has once again started in Pakistan cricket. According to the latest reports, Babar Azam may now be stripped of the limited overs captaincy. Babar had given up the captaincy of both formats last year, but before the ODI World Cup held in India, PCB made him the captain again. Now reports are coming out that Mohammad Rizwan can be given the responsibility of limited overs captaincy in place of Babar Azam. This rumor got further fuel when PCB announced 5 captains for the Champions ODI Cup. These 5 captains include Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, but there is no mention of Babar. It is believed that the board is in the mood to take away the captaincy from Babar. Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain of all three formats According to a Geo News report, there is every possibility of appointing a new captain in place of Babar Azam later this year. The appointment of a new captain for ODIs and T20s may happen before the Australia tour. Pakistan will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches against Australia from November 4, which will be very important for the Pak team before the Champions Trophy on their home ground. The report also states that white-ball coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to Pakistan Cricket Board officials and Babar on the matter two months ago. If all the concerned parties agree to choose Rizwan as the captain, he could be appointed captain for all three formats in the future, which could also cast a dark shadow on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh recently. In this series, apart from Mohammad Rizwan, no Pakistani batsman was able to leave a mark.
“I am not worried about my captaincy…”, Shan Masood’s big statement after defeat against Bangladesh
I took this job so that we can make the changes that we think will help this team – Shan Masood Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) Pakistan suffered a humiliating 0-2 defeat in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Former cricketers as well as pundits are criticizing Pakistan’s way of playing. Let us tell you, it has been more than 1,300 days since Pakistan won a Test at home. The team won the last Test match against South Africa in 2020-21. Shan Masood flopped badly both as a captain and a batsman. Meanwhile, after the defeat against Bangladesh, he has made a big statement about his captaincy. Masood says that the last thing on his mind is his captaincy. I am not worried about my job security- Shan Masood Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood, speaking on India Today after the series defeat against Bangladesh, said, I am not worried about the security of my job. I took this job so that we can make the changes that we think will help this team. If I think this team can go in a certain direction, even if my personal failure takes Pakistan in that direction, I will be satisfied. Whatever time I get, I will be grateful for it and do my best. Shan Masood also stressed the importance of gaining more knowledge about Test cricket, which has been lacking in the Pakistani team, especially at the domestic level, for a long time. The Pakistani captain further explained the reason why the team proved weak against Bangladesh. We have to respect the opposition and Bangladesh had better discipline in both Test matches. We have to look at ourselves and the mistakes we have made in this series, and we have made a lot of mistakes. In terms of fitness, whether mental or physical, the match lasts for four or five days. What we have shown in this series is that we need to work on it.
