Rohit said that it is not certain whether Shami will be a part of Team India in the Test series starting in Australia from next month. Recently, when a report came out about Mohammed Shami that his knee had become swollen during rehab, he was very angry at the media. He had slammed the media by writing a post on social media and termed all the reports in which Shami was injured as baseless. However, now captain Rohit Sharma himself has told that Shami had a knee injury. It is not possible to say right now whether he will be able to play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be held against Australia or not. Rohit Sharma gave a big update on Mohammed Shami’s injury. Rohit Sharma said in the press conference before the Bengaluru Test match, “To be honest, it is difficult to select him for the Australia series. He suffered another injury and his knees were swollen. This worsened his condition a bit and he had to start over. He is at NCA (National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru) with doctors and physios. We do not want to take unfit Shami to Australia. We are hoping that Shami can be taken to Australia.” Hitman further said, “It is very difficult for a fast bowler because he has missed a lot of cricket and then suddenly to perform at his best, it is not ideal. We want to give him enough time to recover and be 100 percent fit. Physio, trainer, doctors have prepared a roadmap for him. He should play some (practice) matches before playing international cricket.” Mohammed Shami has played 64 Test matches for India, in which he has taken 229 wickets at an impressive average of 27.71. India will play five Test matches in Australia from November 22. Fans are eagerly waiting for Shami’s return.

In this 5-match Test series, both Team India and Australia would definitely like to win it by performing well against each other. Let us tell you that Team India has won the last two editions of Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, before the start of this Test series, Australia team captain Pat Cummins has given a big statement about Team India. Pat Cummins was a part of the Australia team in which Team India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2017. Since then, Team India has performed brilliantly in the Test series against Australia. Talking about the Australian team, they won the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 under the captaincy of Pat Cummins while the team has also won the World Test Championship. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Pat Cummins said during an event, ‘I was thinking about this thing recently. This is the closest thing I haven’t been able to achieve yet. I have never defeated Team India in a Test series. There are some people like that but I am not among them. Whoever decided to make me captain knew about my abilities: Pat Cummins Pat Cummins further said, ‘Whenever you see the captain of Australia, it comes to your mind that he has achieved a lot. And when you are appointed captain, you also think that now I have also become one like them. Many people supported me in the initial days and whoever decided to make me captain knew about my abilities. I myself did not know about this thing. Pat Cummins’s record against India in Tests has been excellent. The Australian captain has taken 50 wickets at an average of above 26 in 13 test matches against Team India. Pat Cummins would definitely like to leave his mark in the upcoming 5-match Test series. Currently, both the teams are practicing vigorously for the upcoming test series.

Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former player Aakash Chopra’s case is that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav and coaching of Gautam Gambhir, Team India has played a very aggressive game in the T20 format and this is a very good thing for all the players. Aakash Chopra also revealed that Rinku Singh had also said that the team management has asked him to bat explosively. Recently, Team India won the T20 series against Bangladesh by 3-0. The hosts had achieved the target of 128 runs in 11.5 overs in the first match while in the second match they scored 221 runs. In the third T20, Team India batted first and scored a record-breaking score of 297 runs. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘We should talk about the pairing of Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav. A new captain and coach came in and suddenly all the players were seen playing with a new attitude. In the post match interview with GeoCinema, Rinku Singh had also said that he has been asked to bat aggressively and not think about anything else. It has been told to all the players that they have to play only aggressive game and should not worry at all about the fact that wickets are continuously falling. If the team is supporting you then you will not drop: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘It is really a great thing to play big shots continuously but if a player is getting out then you also need a backup. If the player is out then he will be dropped. But if the team is supporting you then you will not drop and that is a very good thing. It looks like this Youngistan is trying to play a different game. Till now we have played against two weak teams Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. However, the team has batted consistently explosively in the first 6 and 10 overs, which is a big thing. I am happy that all the players are playing aggressive cricket and making important contributions to the victory of their team.

Shoaib Akhtar is upset with the continuous poor performance of Pakistan team, gave a big statement after the defeat against England in the first test.
In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Shoaib Akhtar (Photo Source: Twitter) The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England has started. The first match of this test series was played at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Talking about Pakistan team, they batted very well in the first innings but the team’s bowlers failed to leave their mark in this match due to which a lot of pressure was put on the hosts. Not only this, the batsmen of Pakistan team also performed disappointingly in the second innings. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given his side regarding the performance of Pakistan team. He is unhappy with his team’s performance. Let us tell you that despite scoring 556 runs in the first innings, Pakistan had to face defeat in this match. According to Cricket Pakistan, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘You will reap what you sow. In this period I have seen the decline of Pakistan cricket. It’s okay to lose but the game should be close. However, whatever we saw in the last two days, we have given up all hope from the team. England scored more than 800 and also Bangladesh beat you. Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship: Shoaib Akhtar The former player further said, ‘Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship. The ICC must be wondering whether we should send teams to Pakistan to keep the Test level alive? This is really heart breaking. This is very bad news for the cricket fans of Pakistan and also for the upcoming talented players. I would request the PCB to fix this thing as soon as possible. If your management and captain are weak then factionalism is seen there. If the captain is selfish then there is factionalism. Same is the case with coaches who are afraid of the captain. Captains give their views regarding selection and this has been going on since my playing days. Now the second test between Pakistan and England is starting from October 15 at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.

Sanju and Abhishek have performed very poorly so far: Former player gave a big statement before the third T20 against Bangladesh
According to Aakash Chopra, till now both the opening batsmen have not batted well in this T20 series. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma (Pic Source-X) The third and final T20 match between Team India and Bangladesh is to be played today i.e. on 12th October at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. However, before this match, former player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement regarding Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. According to Aakash Chopra, till now both the opening batsmen have not batted well in this T20 series. According to him, both the players have got the start but they have not been able to convert it into big scores. So far, two T20 matches have been played between these two teams. Team India has won both these matches. In the first T20 played in Gwalior, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets while the hosts won the second match by 86 runs. Now the host would definitely like to register a win in the third T20 to be held in Hyderabad. However, before this match, Aakash Chopra has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he has presented his side regarding Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Aakash Chopra said, ‘What about the two opening batsmen? This is a very big question. This is a three match series. At this time you are seeing Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as openers but both of them have not made big scores yet. Sanju Samson looked in very good form in the first match. Not only this, Abhishek had made a very good start in both the matches. Although he was run out in the first T20, he played very poor shots in the second. Sanju was also out early in both the innings. He had scored 29 runs in one innings but could not make a big score in the second. This is very important. Many people are included in the list of openers: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘This is very important because the opening batsmen have to score runs quickly in T20 and they also have a lot of time. That is why Abhishek and Sanju will have to score runs because Rituraj, Shubman and Yashasvi Jaiswal will also come from behind. There is a lot of space for openers in Team India. You will also get to play four matches against South Africa but the situation there will be quite different and your opponents will also be quite competitive. That is why this match is very important for both the Islamic batsmen. If both the openers fail in the third T20 against Bangladesh, then questions will definitely be raised on their place.

“I can confirm that there is news”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rohit’s absence in the upcoming BGT.
India will face Australia in a five-match Test series, with the first match starting on November 22 in Perth. Meanwhile, if some media reports are to be believed, Rohit may not be available for the first or second test due to personal reasons. In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, the former India opener confirmed the unofficial news. Aakash Chopra said in his video, “This will affect our emotions a bit. There is news about Rohit Sharma. It doesn’t come from official sources but I can confirm that the news is there. The news is that he may miss a match. This could be the first test or it could also be the second test. Since it is due to personal reasons, it is also being said that he may be available for the entire series.” Let us tell you that in the last Australia series, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not play some matches and Chopra has given his side on this issue. He said that Rohit’s possible absence for the Test this time would be a big blow for India. The former batsman further said, “He was injured last time and came straight to play the Sydney Test. He was not available in Adelaide and did not play the Melbourne Test. Virat Kohli played the pink-ball Test and was unavailable for the next three Test matches. Here too, Rohit Sharma will not be available for one of the first two Tests and Rohit’s absence will be a big blow to the team.

“Will be dropped…”- Aakash Chopra gave a stern warning to Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Despite making his international debut nine years ago in 2015, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has not been able to permanently cement his place in the Indian cricket team. With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav have decided to give Samson a chance as an opening batsman in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma in the first match of the series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Samson displayed his timing and technique and scored 29 runs in 19 balls but could not make much impact and was out without finishing the match. meanwhile Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra, while stressing on the upcoming matches, warned that if Samson does not perform well, he could be dropped. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sanju Samson During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it is important to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing brilliantly until he was run out. But how much better Sanju Samson played. Gautam Gambhir had said long ago that if Sanju Samson does not play for India then it is a loss for the team. Gautam Gambhir made him open. He looked good and scored 29 runs. What I am saying is that when he had scored so many runs, he should have gone further. If he does not do this then he will be dropped. He was constantly in and out of the team. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson may get a chance to open in the next two matches and there he will have to try to play big innings. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, he will get a chance in the upcoming series.
