Ravi Shastri made a huge mistake, had to apologize, know what is the whole matter

Ravi Shastri posted again and apologized to the fans for this. Ravi Shastri and Nari Contractor Former head coach of the Indian team Ravi Shastri is currently in the news for one of his tweets. He is currently commentating in the India vs New Zealand Mumbai Test. During this time, he posted the news of the demise of former Indian cricketer Nari Contractor on X, which went viral in no time. After this there was an uproar in the cricket world. As soon as Ravi Shastri realized his mistake, he immediately deleted the post and then posted it again and apologized to the fans. While posting, he wrote, ‘Sorry – the news going on about the death of the female contractor is wrong. He is completely fine. May God bless him. Apologies – the news floating around the demise of Nari Contractor is incorrect. He is fine. God bless 🙏 pic.twitter.com/zGqWjim9SL — Ravi Shastri (@RaviShastriOfc) November 2, 2024 Let us tell you that the female contractor was born in Godhra, Gujarat. He made his international debut in 1955. He came into the public eye due to his brilliant inning of 92 runs played against West Indies in the 1958/59 series. His commitment to the game was seen during the Lord’s Test, in which Contractor suffered a broken rib, yet he played a strong innings of 81 runs. Career ended due to head injury In 1962, during the India vs West Indies series, he was hit on the head by a sharp bouncer and his head was fractured. After this the contractor’s career was over. The head injury was so severe that the contractor remained unconscious for six days. He returned to domestic cricket about a few years after that unfortunate incident, but as far as international cricket was concerned, he was never able to reach the level he wanted to. Contractor scored 1611 runs in 31 Test matches in his seven-year international career. During this period he scored one century and 11 half-centuries. Apart from this, Contractor has 8611 runs in his name in 138 first class matches at an average of 39.86, in which he scored a total of 22 centuries.

‘It would have been nice to have been in the list’, Venkatesh Iyer expressed pain over not being retained in KKR

KKR released some key players, including Venkatesh Iyer, ahead of the 2025 season Venkatesh Iyer. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Kolkata Knight Riders did not include Venkatesh Iyer in their retention, even though the all-rounder has played an important role for the team in the last three seasons, especially in 2024. He scored 370 runs in 15 matches last season, in which Shreyas Iyer’s team won the title. KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. At the same time, before the 2025 season, KKR released some key players, because according to the rules only six players can be retained. KKR preferred Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Now Venkatesh Iyer has reacted to KKR’s retention. He said that he would have liked to be in the retention list, but he understands KKR’s strategy. He described KKR as his home and favorite IPL team and expressed hope that he would play for them again in the 2025 season if selected in the auction. KKR’s retention has been very good – Venkatesh Iyer Speaking to RevSportz, Venkatesh said, KKR’s retention has been very good. I think he has covered 14-16 overs easily and with the bat he has covered about five positions. So, they had pretty good retention, but I would have loved to be on that list. KKR has given me a big opportunity and I have given everything for KKR and beyond cricket. There is also something called emotion. “This is a family,” he said. There are a lot of emotions. It brings tears to my eyes to see that my name is not in the retention list, but I am a practical person. I understand how it works. I was one of the players retained in 2022 and I know how it feels to be retained and left out. So, I think KKR have done brilliantly, I am really happy about it. I would love to be there and the doors are open. If my auction goes well, I will probably play for the team I like the most.

“He is a batsman like Viru”, why did this former cricketer say this about Rishabh Pant?

Rishabh Pant is a batsman like Veeru (Virender Sehwag) – Aakash Chopra Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: The third Test between India and New Zealand is being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where at present the position of Team India looks very strong. By the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand had scored 171 runs for 9 wickets in its second innings and its total lead was 143 runs. Whereas he has only one wicket left in his hand. Earlier, India scored 263 runs after losing all the wickets in its first innings. On behalf of the team, Shubhman Gill played an inning of 90 runs, while wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant scored 60 runs in 59 balls with the help of 8 fours and 2 sixes. His innings has been highly praised by former cricketer and current commentator Akash Chopra. During a conversation on Color Cineplex, Aakash Chopra said about Rishabh Pant’s approach and his aggressive innings against Ajaz Patel, no matter how many left-arm spinners come, Rishabh Pant will keep playing like this. It would be rare for a left-arm spinner to come in front of him and not get hit. It is possible that he may not get a hit in one innings, but he will definitely get a hit in the next innings. The way he started today and the way he played, I am not surprised at all. He is a batsman like Viru- Aakash Chopra He further said that, he is a batsman like Viru (Virender Sehwag). Viru used to say that only a batsman turns an off-spinner into a bowler. He (Pant) feels that a batsman makes a left-arm spinner a bowler. If a left-arm spinner is bowling, it doesn’t matter what the pitch is like and how big the ground is, he has to hit the ball into the stands. The specialty of Rishabh Pant is that a fielder can be placed on the boundary, everyone knows that he will come forward on the track and hit a six, but he still does it and hits the balls into the stands. There are very few players, especially in Test cricket, who challenge the fielders in the deep. Veeru was the first Indian to do this and now Rishabh is at number two.

Now he is ready to return to cricket after a gap of 14 months. Ebadot Hossain. (Image Source: BCB) Bangladesh fast bowler Ibadat Hossain was injured during the ODI series against Afghanistan at home in July 2023. But now after a gap of 14 months, he is ready to return to cricket. He was allowed to travel with the Bangladesh team for the series against India and spent time with the team. It is noteworthy that Ibadat Hossain is going to participate in the National Cricket League of Bangladesh and he will return to the tournament with the fourth round game of Sylhet Division. His first assignment will be Sylhet’s round four match of the NCL against Khulna Division starting November 9. However, BCB chief physician Debashish Chaudhary has hinted about restrictions on the workload of the fast bowler. “As per our plan, Ibadat is expected to play in the fourth round of the NCL and we want to see how he feels after playing competitive cricket,” Debashish was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. This is part of the rehab process and there may be some restrictions (as far as his bowling is concerned). Ibadat is ready to return He (Ibadat) has to get his rhythm back and the only way to achieve that is to bowl in the matches and that is what we are focusing on at the moment. If he feels fine after bowling then it is fine but if that is not the case then he can get some time to recover and work on the areas that he needs to develop before the BPL. Let us tell you that Ibadat Hussain has played 20 test matches for Bangladesh and has taken 42 wickets at an average of 47.14. Additionally, in 12 ODIs, he has taken 22 wickets at an average of 22.90 and a strike rate of 24.5 at an economy rate of 5.60. The Sylhet-born player has played only four T20 matches and has taken seven wickets at an average of 20 and an economy rate of 9.23.
