In the quarter-final match of the Under-23 tournament between Uttar Pradesh and Saurashtra, Rizvi showed his class and scored unbeaten 134 runs in 117 balls on the first day.

When he came to bat on Monday, he continued to bat brilliantly and completed his triple century in 261 balls and was out after scoring 312 runs. During his innings he hit 33 fours and 12 sixes. His excellent performance, coupled with a brilliant century (132 runs off 222 balls) from teammate Rituraj Sharma, helped Uttar Pradesh reach a strong score of 684/6 after 139.2 overs.

(Photo by Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images) Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has agreed that the atmosphere of cricket has made it difficult to understand the importance of playing for the national team. However he also said that players cannot be blamed for choosing money over their desire to play for the country. Let us tell you, there are many players around the world who have rejected their team’s national contract to play franchise league cricket. Talking about West Indies team, there was a time when it was very difficult to defeat them. No matter what the format, no team was able to register a win against the West Indies. In recent times, it has also been seen that many West Indies players are giving importance to franchise league cricket instead of playing for the national team. Now the West Indies team has to play a Test series against Australia at their home. Brian Lara has joined the West Indies team as a mentor in the Test series against Australia. Brian Lara on SEN Sportsday said, ‘We have to accept this. Franchise cricket is being played all over the world and the West Indies Board is facing a lot of problems because the players do not want to play for the national team and are giving more importance to franchise league cricket. I think the first thing we have to do is retain the young players. It is wrong to tell 18 or 19 year old boys that I am going to play in the IPL and I don’t care about West Indies cricket. I think we have not brought West Indies cricket to us as Caribbean people and why should you play for the West Indies?’ I want more and more talented players to get a chance to play for the national team: Brian Lara The former West Indies captain further said, ‘I want to see more and more talented players playing for the national team.

“In franchise cricket, as you get older, it is always difficult…” – Yuvraj Singh’s surprising statement
Hardik Pandya will captain Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma in IPL 2024. Yuvraj Singh, Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Ever since five-time champion Mumbai Indians appointed Hardik Pandya as their captain for IPL 2024, he has been criticized a lot in the cricket world. As soon as Hardik becomes captain It’s an end to the era of Rohit Sharma, who has been leading the Mumbai-based franchise since 2013. The legendary opening batsman has led MI to five IPL titles, making him the most successful captain in the history of the league. Despite taking the Ashish Nehra-coached team to consecutive finals, Hardik was sent to Mumbai from Gujarat Titans (GT). MI last won the IPL title in 2020 and the move could be made as they wanted to make a difference in the upcoming season. Yuvraj gave a surprising statement regarding Hardik and Rohit Meanwhile, former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh opened up on the captaincy debate, saying things will become difficult as players get older and franchises will rely on youngsters. He also said that he too has faced a similar situation but he feels that “there can be no substitute for experience.” “In franchise cricket, it always gets tougher as you get older,” Yuvraj Singh was quoted as saying by Times of India. Every franchise always wants to promote a young player on whom they have spent a lot, and that is absolutely justified. I have also faced this situation. But still, it can happen. There can be no substitute for experience. Rohit has a lot of experience and has performed well. But a franchise has to think long term.” Apart from Rohit, Virat Kohli faces tough competition from young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma and Shivam Dubey in India’s T20I setup. Referring to this, Yuvraj still believes that Rohit and Kohli can play their role in the shortest format of the game. Also read: Ian Chappell wants to see changes in boundary rules
