Let us tell you, India has to play the first Test of the 5-match Test series against England starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. The Indian team has been announced for the first two Tests of this series, in which along with KL Rahul and KS Bharat, young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has also been included. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he raised questions as to why Dhruv Jurel got a place in the Indian team instead of Sarfaraz Khan and Ishan Kishan. Aakash Chopra said in the video shared on his official YouTube channel, ‘Dhruv Jurel has not played much first class cricket. He has played only 15 matches and scored 790 runs in 19 innings. Yes, his best scores have been near 250 and 46.50 is not a bad average. He has scored one century and five half-centuries. If seen this way, is this performance good for Test cricket? And if so, what should Sarfaraz do? Should we assume that unless Kishan goes into first class cricket and scores runs, he will not be included in the Indian team? I don’t see Dhruv Jurel in the playing XI of the Indian team: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘Dhruv Jurel’s selection was quite surprising. First of all, I don’t watch him play at all. KL Rahul will not play as wicketkeeper. Catches were dropped in South Africa too, anyone can drop catches but if you are playing against Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar, then you will have to take catches. 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget

He himself is very upset to see the decline of Test cricket. According to Mark Butcher, the World Test Championship has harmed Test cricket further instead of improving it. Mark Butcher made this statement when South Africa announced its B team for the upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand. Let us tell you, due to SA20, many experienced players of South Africa will not participate in this test series and many people have strongly criticized the franchise league tournament for this very thing. Mark Butcher said on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘The one thing they did to save Test cricket was the World Test Championship. The point is that your bilateral series has to capture the imagination of the fans and the players of the two countries playing in it. Then there’s the wider audience of cricket and the only way to do that is to be competitive and it’s always been that way. It’s like surrender: Mark Butcher Mark Butcher further said, ‘Wherever this has happened, change has been seen. There has also been an increase in the salaries of players. I have no problem with all these things that are being discussed between the board and the players but this is like surrender. Let us tell you, ICC started organizing the World Test Championship in 2019. A total of 61 matches were played in the first cycle of the World Test Championship. In the first round, India had to face defeat by New Zealand in the final. After this, the final of the second round was played between India and Australia, in which India had to face defeat.

“He must have learned a lot by having players like Rohit Sharma….”- Former English captain said about Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill (Pic Source-TWITTER) Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain was recently asked to choose the young cricketers whom he considers to be the future superstars of the game. The former England captain immediately picked India’s Shubman Gill and New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra and explained why these two players can rule the cricket world in the future. However, Nasir Hussain also believes that Gill would have learned a lot by batting with Indian captain Rohit Sharma, calling the young player a super talent and a big star for the future of Team India. Nasir Hussain praised Shubman Gill fiercely In the video shared by ICC, Nasir Hussain said, “I am going with Shubman Gill. I think three-quarters, nine-tenths of them in 2023 were very good. Having players like Rohit Sharma at the other end, he must have learned a lot. Maybe, in the end, that illness bothered him a bit and his form deteriorated. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India in the coming years. Hopefully 2024 will be good for him.” Furthermore, Hussain lauded the performance of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who impressed everyone with his performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers of the competition. Hussain expressed hope that Ravindra will continue his excellent performance in future also. Hussain said, “And the man who lit up the World Cup was Rachin Ravindra. Before going to the World Cup, I saw him for a while in England. He came in lower down the order at Lord’s and created a stir all around. I thought, he can play. When he was given a chance in the top order, he performed brilliantly there. Hopefully, he will continue his form.” Also read: What is Hardik Pandya proving by posting the video with his son?
If England reaches India 3 days before then it will be a big mistake, why did the former English cricketer say this?
According to reports, England will train in UAE before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Team England (Pic Source-Twitter) After Ben Stokes became the captain and Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach, England have completely changed their red ball approach and they are playing very aggressive cricket at the moment. England have been very successful in the longest format of the game, but the India tour starting from January 25 is not going to be easy for them. Ben Stokes and Co. have not yet been tested in spin-friendly conditions. And that’s why former cricketer Steve Harmison believes that the England team will make a big mistake if they reach India just 3 days before the first Test. According to reports, England will train in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Harmison also said that the team cannot go into the first Test without preparation. They may lose 5-0 – Steve Harmison Speaking to talkSPORT, Harmison said, ‘If England go three days early, they could lose 5-0. You cannot go to India without preparation. In fact you cannot go to India even with a lot of preparation, you can be in India six weeks in advance and still not be ready for the first Test. He further said, I would love to know what players like Pietersen, Strauss, Cook would think about England touring India three days before the series. I think they’ll laugh at you. Harmison also said that it is not a new thing in which the visiting team reaches late. Rather, these are the players who have played a huge role in England’s late arrival in India. read this also – SA v IND: Team India is missing that one player a lot – Dinesh Karthik’s big statement
With one foot in WTC final, India thinking of simulating English conditions in Ahmedabad for fourth India-Australia Test – DTVHINDI
Representative image of groundsmen spraying water on the pitch of the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. | Photo Credit: Vijay Soneji India are on course to reach their second straight World Test Championship final and if they end up winning here, a pace-friendly track could be laid out in the final game of the series in Ahmedabad to prepare for the summit clash in London in June. Before the start of the Border-Gavaskar trophy, India needed to beat Australia 3-0 or 3-1 to qualify for the WTC final and keep the destiny in their own hands. India skipper Rohit Sharma doesn’t want to jump the gun but, ahead of the third Test beginning at the Holkar Stadium on Wednesday, he said the team has already spoken about simulating English conditions in the fourth and final game against Australia. There is a strong possibility that India might end up facing Australia in the WTC final. “It will be a different ball game (facing Australia in England) for both teams, actually. There is definitely a possibility of that (Ahmedabad as preparatory game for WTC final). We have already spoken about it. We need to get the guys ready for it,” Rohit said in a media interaction. The WTC final will be played at The Oval in London from June 7-11, right after the IPL. Rohit Sharma said Shardul Thakur becomes an important member of the side in overseas conditions. “The important one is Shardul Thakur, because he comes into the planning for us. We don’t know how ready he is since he has just got married (laughs). We don’t know how many overs he has bowled. But that thought process is definitely there. “If we get the result we want here (Indore), we might think of doing something different in Ahmedabad for sure. “But we are not there yet. We have to win this game and then talk about it. That’ll be the right thing to do,” he said. ‘You are never in on these wickets’ India are well on their way to their 16th straight series win at home. Rohit feels reaching the WTC final will be a big achievement for his team, as winning even at home has not been easy. “Yes there are home conditions but they are challenging conditions; it is not easy for the batters to score runs consistently.” Australia have collapsed in the second innings of both the Tests and Rohit said it shows how hard it is to play in Indian conditions. “Yeah….that’s the beauty of this game and the pitches we are playing on. It can happen to us as well, not just them. I played 200 balls in Nagpur and never felt set. It just takes one ball to grip or keep low and you are out. On pitches like this, you are never in. “Yes, we have quality spinners who can change things around just like that but that does not give us the guarantee that we are going to win the Test or roll them over in one session. We…
