DTVHINDIDuring the LSG press conference, Sanjiv Goenka and Zaheer Khan discussed these three important things
Lucknow Super Giants had a very poor performance in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs of this season. Zaheer Khan (Pic Source-X) The Lucknow Super Giants franchise organized a press conference on August 28 in which team owner Sanjiv Goenka and new mentor Zaheer Khan were present. During the interaction with the media, both of them made big revelations about the performance of the franchise and the upcoming mega auction. Let us tell you, the performance of Lucknow Super Giants was very poor in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs of this season. Not only this, the performance of the players of the team was very good in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Now Zaheer Khan will be seen playing an important role in the upcoming season. Along with this, let us tell you about three important points of the franchise’s press conference. 1- Zaheer Khan praises impact player rule The impact player rule has been implemented for franchises in the Indian Premier League. Some players have not liked this rule at all while others have praised it. In the press conference of Lucknow Super Giants, Zaheer Khan said, ‘This will give opportunities to many uncapped players. In the mega auction, you will see that the franchise is adding talented uncapped players to their team. Not only this, Indian cricket will also benefit a lot from this. Young players will also be seen leaving their mark. As far as all-rounders are concerned, at present there is absolutely no place for half all-rounders and the main reason behind this is the impact sub rule. But if you are a great all-rounder then no one can stop you.
“It is very important for strategy….”, Ravichandran Ashwin came out in support of the impact player rule
Impact player rule is not that bad- Ravichandran Ashwin R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) The impact player rule is making a lot of headlines in the entire cricket world. During IPL 2024, many senior players expressed their displeasure over this rule. Indian captain Rohit Sharma says that he is not a big fan of this rule and due to this the emergence of potential all-rounders in the country has been stopped. On the other hand, Virat Kohli believes that the rule introduced by IPL does not give the right balance to the game. However, Ravichandran Ashwin has described the impact player rule as important for the team’s strategy. The veteran says that batsmen cannot change bowlers overnight and this makes the game fair. Impact player rule is not that bad- Ashwin Ravichandran Ashwin while speaking on K. Srikkanth’s YouTube show said, Why I think the impact player rule is not so bad is because it is a bit necessary for strategy. The other side of that argument is that it does not encourage all-rounders. But nobody is stopping them. In this generation, they don’t do it (batsmen bowl or bowlers bat). It’s not that they are discouraged because of the impact player rule. Look at Venkatesh Iyer, he is currently doing brilliantly for Lancashire. So this rule makes the game more fair. Citing the example of IPL 2024 Qualifier-2, Ashwin said, “Sunrisers Hyderabad brought Shahbaz Ahmed as an impact player. He proved to be a match winner by taking three wickets.” Ashwin emphasized that a rule like impact player gives another bowling option and balance to the game and at the same time the match becomes closer. The veteran Indian spinner also believes that players like Shivam Gube, Shahbaz Ahmed and Dhruv Jurel have emerged because of the impact player rule. It is because of this rule that new players are getting opportunities.
The first day of the game was completely in the name of Bangladesh, Sam Ayub and Saud Shakeel played important innings from Pakistan’s side
Pakistan scored 158 runs for the loss of four wickets in 41 overs on the first day of play. Pakistan Team (Picture Source-X) The first match of the two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has started in Rawalpindi today i.e. 21st August. In this match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. The first day of the game started late due to rain. Not only this, only 41 overs could be bowled on the first day. After this, the first day of the game was ended early due to poor light. Let us tell you, Pakistan scored 158 runs after losing four wickets in 41 overs on the first day of the match. Pakistan did not have a good start in this match and Abdullah Shafique was out after scoring two runs. Abdullah Shafique’s wicket was taken by Hasan Mahmud.

Experienced batsman Babar Azam also could not play a big innings and got out without opening his account. His wicket was also taken by Shariful Islam. Pakistan lost its first three wickets for just 16 runs. However, after this, young players Sam Ayub and Saud Shakeel made an important partnership of 98 runs for the fourth wicket.

The second day of the first Test match is going to be very important for both the teams. While on one hand the players of the Pakistan team will look to score as many runs as possible, on the other hand Bangladesh will want to get the hosts all out as soon as possible. Both the matches being played between these two teams will be played in Rawalpindi. The best thing for the host Pakistan is that they still have many players who can play important innings for their team.

‘Can’t keep him wrapped in cotton wool…’- Former bowling coach gives important advice to BCCI regarding Mayank Yadav
Mayank Yadav (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Paras Mhambrey on Mayank Yadav: Mayank Yadav created a sensation with his fast bowling in IPL 2024. Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Mayank played only four matches in IPL 2024. In these four matches, Mayank bowled the fourth fastest ball in IPL history this year. He bowled consistently at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and took 7 wickets at an economy rate of 6.99. After seeing his pace bowling, cricket experts had talked about including Mayank in Team India. But, Mayank has been away from cricket since the injury in IPL 2024 and is constantly working hard to make a comeback. Now former bowling coach of the Indian cricket team Paras Mhambrey has said a big thing about him. Paras Mahambre gave a big statement about Mayank Yadav Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes that the time has come for the BCCI to introduce Mayank in competitive cricket, especially first-class cricket. Paras Mhambrey said, “I don’t agree that if he is not ready, don’t feed him. This is the age when he should bowl. The more you bowl, the more control you will have, you will know how much your body can bowl. You can’t stop him saying he will get injured. We can’t make him bowl too much and tire him out, but we have to be smart about how much he should bowl. As a fast bowler, he needs to play first-class cricket.” Mhambrey further said, “When you play a season, you understand your bowling. You bowl in different conditions. Physically, you will be tested at different stages of the game. Sometimes, you have to be on the field for six sessions. And being able to bowl with the same intensity in the last session will give you confidence when you play internationally. I strongly feel that Mayank needs to work hard in the domestic season.

“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness
Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.
