Gilchrist has said that the Australian management can play wicketkeeper batsman Josh English in the top order. Adam Gilchrist gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Cricket Australia has announced a 13-member team for the first match against India during BGT. After the announcement of this team, Adam Gilchrist in a discussion with Fox Cricket said- English is in the team as a reserve batsman, which Australia traditionally does not do in home conditions. I think McSweeney will open, but is he sticking to last year’s policy? We want our six best batsmen in Australia to play in the top six. Nathan McSweeney is a good looking player. They see his game being a little more suited to opening batting, while Josh English knows how to attack, so keep him in the top order. This is probably the best way to protect him. Australian team for the first match of BGT series against India Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh English, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc.

This innings of Rohit was courageous and inspiring.” Rohit has not only played an innings but has also given a statement that this is how our team plays. All the shots he played were in the middle of the bat. He was sending even the balls that were to be stopped to the boundary line, which shows how he wants to play as a captain.

IPL 2024: Adam Gilchrist made a big claim about MI after the defeat against CSK
Speaking about MI’s captaincy change, Adam Gilchrist said it was not a seamless trade Adam Gilchrist and MI Team Mumbai Indians (MI) have not had a good start in IPL 2024. The kind of team it looks like on paper, MI has not been able to perform in reality in the ongoing tournament. After losing three consecutive matches, the team made a comeback and won two matches, but again faced defeat against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. In the match played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, Chennai Super Kings, batting first, scored 206 runs for 4 wickets in 20 overs with the help of half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad (69) and Shivam Dubey (66). In response, despite the century innings of Rohit Sharma (105*), Mumbai Indians could score only 186 runs for 6 wickets in the stipulated overs and lost the match by 20 runs. It was not a smooth trade – Adam Gilchrist After the match, captain Hardik Pandya said such things during the presentation that it seems that everything is not going well in the Mumbai Indians camp.

Now Adam Gilchrist has reacted to the disappointing performance of Mumbai Indians under the leadership of Hardik. Speaking about MI’s captaincy change, Adam Gilchrist said that it was not a smooth trade, their fans have not accepted it yet. Gilchrist said that the fans are also a part of the franchise and they are hungry for success and if their expectations are not met, they will not understand it properly. He also said that to make room for Hardik, it was decided to trade Cameron Green, who performed well under Rohit’s captaincy last year, which the fans did not expect.
IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant should have been fined for continuously arguing with field umpire: Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist believes that Rishabh Pant should have been fined for his long conversation with the field umpire during the match played against Lucknow Super Giants. RISHABH PANT Former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist believes that Rishabh Pant should have been fined for his long conversation with the field umpire during the match played against Lucknow Super Giants. Let us tell you, Lucknow Super Giants played a match against Delhi Capitals on 12 April. Delhi Capitals won this match. In the fourth over of Lucknow’s innings, Delhi team’s fast bowler Ishant Sharma bowled a wide. The field umpire gave it wide but Rishabh Pant asked for a review. It was seen in the replay that it was a wide ball. However, Rishabh Pant was not at all happy with this decision of the third umpire and was seen arguing with the field umpire for a long time. Adam Gilchrist presented his side regarding this. Speaking on Cricbuzz, Adam Gilchrist said, ‘Today I saw another example where it is very important for the umpire to take control of the match. To take the game forward they should do their work well. There was a lot of debate about whether Rishabh had asked for a review or not. But three to four minutes of the match were wasted due to this matter. I think it was a very simple conversation and it doesn’t matter what Rishabh is demanding or what other players are saying about it but the umpire should have said that it is all over now and Let’s move forward in the match. But if he had kept talking continuously then he should definitely have been fined. Delhi Capitals won an important match In this spectacular match of IPL 2024, Lucknow Super Giants, batting first, scored 167 runs losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. On behalf of the team, young batsman Ayush Badoni batted very well and played an important inning of 55* runs in 35 balls with the help of 5 fours and 1 six. Apart from Ayush Badoni, captain KL Rahul contributed 39 runs. In reply, Delhi team won this match by losing four wickets. Captain Rishabh Pant played a brilliant inning of 41 runs while Jack Fraser-McGurk contributed 55 runs and played an important role in his team’s victory.

Michael Vaughan said that I have never heard the Indian audience speaking ill of anyone. I heard this boo when he played against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. He left Gujarat and came to Mumbai. He brought GT the title. So I don’t think this is right. I am surprised by this – Michael Vaughan On Hardik being booed by the home crowd too, he said, but going to Hyderabad and being that evil, then coming to Wankhede and getting booed by the Mumbai Indians fans, even though he is playing for Mumbai only. I am surprised by this. I have never seen an Indian crowd booing one of their own. Appears on podcast with Vaughn adam gilchrist cited the immense popularity of Rohit Sharma as a possible reason behind this misbehavior towards Pandya. Gilchrist replied that, it shows what is the situation of Rohit Sharma there. Everyone was surprised by Mumbai bringing Hardik Pandya from Gujarat and then Rohit Sharma leaving the captaincy. This is strange. But this is common in IPL. The feeling that there is among the fans about Rohit Sharma is difficult to replicate anywhere else. I know how Hardik feels- Gilchrist Gilchrist gave the example of an incident when he made his ODI debut and was booed by the fans when he replaced Ian Healy. He said, I was also criticized on the field. So I know how Hardik feels, I will just go to Hardik, and I will grab him. To this, Vaughn immediately responded with a joke, “Gillie, maybe you are the one who messages Hardik and says, ‘Look, buddy, I’m there, do you want to come on the podcast and we can discuss this?’ Are. The former Australian wicketkeeper looked ready to help the MI captain during this difficult time. He said, I am Boo Whisper. I know how to get into their mind and how to bring them out of it. Everyone is talking about the Mumbai Indians 🇮🇳 right now after their captain Hardik Pandya was booed at the Wankhede 🏟️ and Gilly offers some support as the self proclaimed ‘boo whisperer’ ???
