(Image Source: Getty Images) Team India’s former veteran captain and player Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma. Ganguly revealed that when Virat Kohli decided to step down from the captaincy role after the series against South Africa in January 2022, Rohit Sharma was not ready to become the Test captain considering his workload. However, Ganguly convinced Rohit for this and he led Team India in all three formats. Now after retiring from T20, he is the captain of the ODI and Test teams, while Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the shortest format of cricket. The former Indian captain said that he had to convince Rohit to take over the captaincy in the longer format and he is not surprised by what Rohit has achieved so far. Sourav Ganguly made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by RevSportz, “He did not become the captain because he was captaining in other formats. Therefore he had a lot of workload. I don’t believe in workload. India’s Test captain will remain the Test captain. I told him not to end his career without becoming a Test captain, I am not surprised by what he has achieved.” Team India is currently on Australia tour where they have to play 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series against the hosts. There is doubt over the availability of captain Rohit Sharma in the first match of this series. Actually, Rohit has recently become a father for the second time. For this reason he did not leave for Australia with the Indian squad. Regarding this, Ganguly says that if he had been in Rohit’s place, he would have gone to Australia for the Perth Test. He also believes that the upcoming series will be 37-year-old Rohit’s last tour in Australia. Ganguly said, “I hope that Rohit Sharma will leave soon, because the team needs leadership. I believe his wife gave birth to a son last night, so I’m sure he will be gone from the team. He should go as soon as possible and if I were in his place, he would be playing the Perth Test.”

Due to the possibility of the birth of a child, Rohit Sharma did not go to Australia with Team India. Now after the birth of the son, according to reports, Rohit will not be available for the Perth Test, as he will stay with the family. Meanwhile, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly wants Rohit Sharma to leave for the Perth Test as soon as possible. Ahead of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, Ganguly said he wants India’s Test captain to play the opening matches in Perth as the team needs leadership. Opening batsman can go to Australia- Sourav Ganguly Speaking to RevSportz, Ganguly said that Ritika has given birth to their child, so the opener can now travel to Australia and get in form ahead of the first Test. I hope Rohit Sharma leaves soon because the team needs leadership. His wife gave birth last night, so I’m sure he can go. He can go as soon as possible. If I were in his place, I should play the Perth Test. Ganguly said that the match is still a week away. Because this is a big series, he will not go to Australia after this. He is a brilliant captain. India needs his leadership for a start. Shubman Gill out of first test Team India has suffered a big setback before the Perth Test. Shubman Gill suffered a finger injury while fielding in the slips during a match simulation in Perth on Saturday (16 November). If reports are to be believed, he has a fracture in his thumb due to which he will not be available for the first test.
Former Australian cricketer targeted Gautam Gambhir, said- he is not suitable for the Indian team
Gambhir had given a sharp reaction to Ricky Ponting’s statement regarding the form of senior batsman Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma. Gautam Gambhir and Tim Paine The Indian team is all set to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia. At the same time, before the series, the phase of rhetoric is going on from both the camps. In this series, former Australian captain Tim Paine has given a big statement regarding head coach Gautam Gambhir. He believes that Gambhir is not fit for the post of head coach. Let us tell you that the first test match between India and Australia will be played in Perth from 22nd November. This series is going to be very important for Gautam Gambhir. Because recently India had to face a clean sweep in the home Test series against New Zealand. There has also been defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, there is a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir as head coach. Before leaving for Australia, Gautam Gambhir addressed the media, in which he gave a very sharp reaction to Ricky Ponting’s statement. There were reactions from fans including former cricketers on this. Now former Australian cricketer Tim Paine has also spoken openly on this. What he was asked was a very simple question – Tim Paine I didn’t like his reaction, the former wicketkeeper-batsman told SEN Tassie. I think this would not send a good signal. What he was asked was a very simple question. That said, I think he’s probably still looking at Ricky as someone he’s playing against, but Ricky is a commentator now – he’s paid to give opinions, and his opinions. It was absolutely correct. Virat is struggling, it is a matter of concern. But for me, the biggest concern for India at the moment is not Rohit Sharma’s batting, not Virat Kohli’s batting, it is their coach and his ability to remain calm under pressure. Paine further said that, Ravi Shastri had created a great atmosphere, the players were energetic, they played with passion, he sold them dreams and really inspired them in a light and entertaining way. They’ve got a new coach now who’s really angry, competitive. And that doesn’t mean it’s not a good thing and not a good way of coaching – but my concern is that it’s not suitable for the Indian cricket team.
‘I have not been contacted yet’, Shardul Thakur breaks his silence on being left out of the team for BGT 2024-25
Shardul Thakur had a memorable performance in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Shardul Thakur (Image Source: Shardul Thakur had a memorable performance in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Especially the kind of game he showed in Gabba will still be in the minds of Indian fans. However, this time he has not been selected in the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Now the all-rounder has broken his silence on head coach Gautam Gambhir’s statement about the team moving on from him. Let us tell you that Shardul performed all-round in Gabba and scored 67 runs in the first innings and also took seven wickets. He is currently away from the cricket field due to injury. The experienced player, who recently underwent foot surgery, has expressed hope of his comeback despite being out of the national team. Shardul Thakur was quoted by Indian Express as saying, no one has contacted me yet, I have just returned from surgery, so obviously that is the reason why I am not in the team at the moment. There will definitely be opportunities: Shardul Thakur Shardul Thakur is claiming his comeback through domestic cricket. Recently, he took seven wickets (4/46 and 3/39) for Mumbai against Services, which shows how good form he is in. He said, my fitness is good now and since the Australia tour is long, opportunities can come any time. After this, the England team is also coming to India for white ball matches, then there is the Champions Trophy, so there is a lot of cricket to be played ahead. There will definitely be opportunities somewhere. Right now my focus is only on improving my fitness and giving 100 percent when I come out on the field. Shardul finally said that, in the first one or two matches, I was feeling a little hesitant while starting, but as I kept playing matches after the surgery, my confidence gradually increased. Now I have achieved 100 percent fitness and it is reflected in my bowling. In the last three or four matches, I have been bowling in full rhythm. However, some catches have been dropped, hence the wickets are not visible on the board, if those catches had been taken I would have had around 20 wickets. But it’s a part of the game.

According to BCCI source, Rahul is completely fit and will play the first test.

Let us tell you that the five-time champion team has Rs 55 crore in its purse and with this it will enter the mega auction. CSK has spent Rs 65 crore for five retentions. CricTracker asked AI to prepare CSK’s team for the IPL 2025 edition. The results that came after this have become a topic of discussion among the fans. The team selected by AI has Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey as batsmen. The list of all-rounders is a little longer. It has Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Rajvardhan Henggekar and Bhagat Verma. Wicketkeepers MS Dhoni and N Jagadeesan, while the name of Prashant Solanki is in the list of spinners.

We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team. He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.

Apart from this, he was also out on duck twice. However, everyone is not tired of praising the way he batted in the series. In this sequence, former Indian opener Akash Chopra has praised the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman. Samson scored unbeaten 109 runs in 56 balls in the fourth T20 match against South Africa. Apart from this, Tilak Verma also played an unbeaten inning of 120 runs. Thanks to the strong batting of both, India batted first and made a huge score of 283 runs. After this the host team collapsed for 148 runs. Men in Blue won the match by 135 runs and won the series 3-1. After the match, Aakash Chopra has now praised Sanju Samson on his YouTube channel, who has scored three centuries in his last five T20I innings. Sanju Samson’s only mantra is century or duck – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said that, Sanju Samson’s only mantra is a century or a duck. He has scored three T20 centuries in the last five matches. Isn’t this absolutely incredible? He is batting at a different level. When he starts batting, he bats in such a way that you say ‘wow’. He further said that, it is said that due to the Wanderers ground being at a height, the wind blows a little fine and that is why a lot of sixes are hit. It was only on this ground that 434 runs were chased in the Australia-South Africa match. Samson hit 6 fours and 9 fours and sixes in his innings of 109* runs. Earlier, the opening batsman had scored 111 runs in the last T20I match against Bangladesh at home and 107 runs in the first T20I match against South Africa.
