Aakash Chopra made a big statement before the qualifiers Let us tell you that before the eliminator match, Aakash Chopra said through his YouTube channel – Their (SRH) strength is two openers, and if these two start firing from the beginning, then no one can stop them. If this happens, they will turn the match in their favor in the first 8 or 10 overs. Travis Head’s performance has gone down, but you expect him to play well. Travis Head is the first player I will keep an eye on in the match. Chopra further said- Travis Head has very good statistics in IPL, he has not been troubled much by Trent Bolt. But the last time the two teams clashed, he could have been out, but Riyan Parag dropped the catch. Bolt can try to trap him once again. But this team cannot move forward without Travis Head.

“When father is strict, children have to be a little careful….”- Former cricketer said on Gautam Gambhir becoming the head coach.
Rahul Dravid’s current tenure as the head coach of the Indian team is till the end of the T20 World Cup to be held next month. In some media reports, it has been said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has approached Gambhir to become the next head coach after his former teammate stepped down from the post. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra was asked if Gambhir should become the next head coach of India. Aakash Chopra said that, “Not a bad choice, there’s no doubt about that, because he’s a simple guy. He knows how to build and manage a team. When it comes to auctions I give them really high ratings. However, there will be no auction for this as Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir is a very strong personality.” The former Indian opener said, “When there is a change, a new captain is coming, then yes. However, if there are already many senior players in the team, I would be a little cautious as Gauti’s working style is almost like that of a strict father. When fathers are strict, children have to be a little careful.” He concluded by saying, “When you have very senior players in your team, you are looking for a big brother who puts a hand on their shoulders and does not try to impose himself. However, this is not going to happen with Gautam. It is simple for Gautam. In a group of senior players, things may not go in your favor every time.”

“What you did was completely beyond my understanding…”- Former Indian cricketer said on RR’s batting approach.
After electing to bat first in the match played in Chennai on Sunday, May 12, RR set a target of 142 runs for CSK. The host team chased the target with five wickets and 10 balls remaining and reached the third position in the points table. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra said that Rajasthan Royals His timid batting approach was not understandable. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement on RR’s batting approach. Aakash Chopra said, “I could not understand this match. I will say this very honestly. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat. Since it was an afternoon game, it made sense to bat first. After that, you were 131/3 before the start of 20 overs. The fast bowlers took three wickets and the spinners did nothing.” The former Indian opener further said, “So I am trying to understand that if this pitch was slow, the batsmen should have dismissed the spinners. It did not happen. Simarjeet (Singh) took wickets and none of the batsmen scored runs. If you score 131 runs in 19 overs, what you did was completely beyond my understanding.” Chopra pointed out that Rajasthan Royals have not yet qualified for the playoffs, which seemed to be a formality even though they had won eight of their first nine matches. Considering that the champions of the inaugural season of IPL are still set to qualify, whether they believe they will be able to make it to the top 2 now is a big question.

“LSG is largely dependent on KL Rahul” – statement of former Indian cricketer
KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are more dependent on KL Rahul in the Indian batting department. Let us tell you that, with 431 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 141.31, the LSG captain is the highest run-scorer of his franchise in IPL 2024.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked some of the top performers for Wednesday’s match. They said that, “The first is like a broken record. You can write KL Rahul’s name there because everything depends on him. Please score runs because no other Indian player has scored many runs and does not even look like he is scoring runs. Therefore, KL Rahul will be expected to score runs.” The former Indian cricketer further said, “If there is any weakness in the opposition’s bowling, which has been seen throughout the season except the last two matches where Bhuvneshwar Kumar has performed sensationally, then exploit it. That’s why KL Rahul is number 1.” Chopra further said, “The second player I am thinking about is Nicholas Pooran. He has been a bit cold in the last two or three games and you want his bat to keep firing. If this team has to score or chase a big score then he has a big role to play. So I am going with him as my second player to keep an eye on.”
