The former captain of India is in great form at the moment. He was the highest run-scorer in the recent ODI World Cup 2023. When Virat was struggling with his poor form in 2020 and 2021, he had to face a lot of criticism. Some former cricketers had even said that he should be dropped from the Indian team. AlthoughDespite all this criticism, Kohli kept moving forward and scored eight centuries in 2023. Kohli has scored 80 centuries in international cricket and is 20 behind the great Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries. Virat Kohli can break Sachin’s record of 100 centuries – Clive Lloyd Lloyd believes that the 35-year-old still has a lot to offer and if he can maintain his form in the times to come, he can achieve great things. Recently, during an event in Kolkata, Lloyd was asked about the chances of Kohli breaking Tendulkar’s record of international centuries. Responding to the question, Clive Lloyd said, “I can’t say how long it will take, but he is still young and I am sure with the way he is playing he will be able to achieve whatever he wants to achieve.” Can and it would be a great pleasure to achieve it.” Former West Indies legend Clive Lloyd wants more Test cricket to be played in the international calendar and said there should be at least three Test matches in bilateral series. The former West Indies captain said during the ‘Ekam Awards’, ‘Probably more T20s are being played at this time. I would like to see a little more Test cricket. And if you are playing Test cricket then I would like to see a series of three or five Test matches. Also read: Finn Allen defies Shaheen Shah Afridi
When Rohit Sharma comes as captain, two things suddenly change – statement of the former opener
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy for including bowling options in the top six and using them effectively in the first T20I between India and Afghanistan. Team India restricted Afghanistan to 158/5 after being invited to bat first in Mohali on Thursday, January 11. The hosts chased a small target with six wickets and 15 balls remaining and started the three-match T20 series with a win. Aakash Chopra admired Rohit Sharma’s captaincy In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra expressed his surprise at India’s decision to field three spinners in the playing XI. However, he also praised Rohit for bringing a different approach to captaincy. They said that, “India kept three spinners in the team. I was a bit surprised because there were only two fast bowlers and Shivam Dubey was with them. However, when Rohit Sharma comes as captain, suddenly two things change.” The former India opener said that the experienced captain included Shivam Dubey as an all-rounder in the lineup and also used him effectively. Chopra said that, “First of all, the Indian team plays with an XI which has a bowler in the top six and that bowler also gets a chance to bowl. That was fantastic. As soon as one wicket fell, he gave the next over to Shivam Dubey.” Chopra said that this move ensured that Rohit has plenty of bowling options available for the death overs. He further said that, “Shivam Dubey dismissed Ibrahim Zadran in that over. He was then stopped and later brought in from the other end so that he could get another over. When they did that, it made sure there were a lot of options available at the end.” Also read: Suresh Raina does not want to see Virat opening in T20

If there is dedication then like Rohit Sharma, if the flight gets late then the hitman reaches the stadium straight from the airport.
Rohit Sharma will return to the T20 team after 14 months. Rohit Sharma Practice. (Photo Source: Twitter) India captain Rohit Sharma is all set to make a comeback in the T20 team after a gap of 14 months. India will take on Afghanistan in the first game of the three-match series at the Punjab Cricket Association’s IS Bindra Stadium on Thursday, January 11. Virat Kohli, who is part of Team India for this series, will not be available for the first match due to personal reasons. In Kohli’s absence, the Indian captain will be entrusted with the responsibility of leading the inexperienced batting line-up as India look to finalize their preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024. Meanwhile, for Rohit Sharma, this comeback of the team was not as he wanted. Actually Rohit Sharma After landing at Chandigarh airport, the team did not go to the hotel but directly joined the practice session at Mohali Stadium. In fact According to the report of Dainik Jagran,Rohit’s chartered flight to Mohali was delayed due to which the Indian captain had to take this decision to reach on time for the first T20 International match against Afghanistan., The 36-year-old Rohit did some stretching exercises and inspected the pitch with head coach Rahul Dravid. He also faced some throwdowns and interacted with the young players of the team. It is noteworthy that, Rohit last played a T20I match in the semi-finals of T20 World Cup 2022 where India had to face a humiliating defeat against England by ten wickets. Rohit’s performance with the bat in that tournament was disappointing, scoring just 116 runs in six innings at an average of 19.33 and a strike rate of 106.42. Rohit Sharma is the second highest run scorer in T20I However, his records in T20I are excellent and he is the second highest run scorer in this format. He has scored 3853 runs in 140 innings at an average of 31.32 and strike rate of 139.24. During this period he has also scored four centuries. Therefore, the Indian captain would like to play aggressive cricket once again in the upcoming series before the T20 World Cup 2024.

Afghanistan has good batting and it will put pressure on Indian bowlers too- Aakash Chopra
India and Afghanistan on Thursday, January 11 at the Punjab Cricket Association, Mohali. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India and Afghanistan are set to face each other in the first match of the three-match T20 series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Thursday, January 11. Ahead of the match, famous cricket expert Aakash Chopra shared his opinion in a recent video while previewing the match. Chopra started his discussion by talking about the strong team of Afghanistan and along with this he also gave his statement about Rashid Khan. Actually, due to injury, Rashid Khan will not be able to be a part of the team for this series. Despite this, Chopra emphasized the team’s strengths, especially in the batting department. Chopra said in his YouTube video, “Afghanistan has come with a very big team. From Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Gulbadin Naib, they have a lot of heating ability. The pressure will be on the batting of this team because they bowl well in any case.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Afghanistan’s batting Highlighting the important role of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in Afghanistan’s batting lineup, the former India opener said, “In batting, if Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s bat speaks, Rahmanullah will become Subhanallah, Mashallah. He will need the support of the middle-order batsmen. If the Afghan batsmen contribute runs, it is a contest worth watching.” Expressing hope for the strong batting of Najibullah Zadran, Chopra predicted a high-scoring match. They said, “My eyes will be on Najibullah Zadran again because he hits sixes hard. He has good strength in batting. Whoever wins the toss will opt to bowl first as the target will be easier to chase. It could be a 180 to 200 run match.” However, Chopra cautioned against overly aggressive strategies for the team batting first and advised aiming for a 200+ score from the start. He argued that such an approach could backfire, resulting in a lower total score in the end. Also read: Good news for Australia fans, David Warner will enter the SCG ground in Hollywood style.
