“It takes some time but…”- MS Dhoni gave a big statement about the defeat in World Cup 2019
After the run out in the semi-final of ODI World Cup 2019, every cricket fan including Dhoni had tears in their eyes. MS Dhoni (Twitter) Former Indian team captain and cricketer MS Dhoni was recently asked a question about the semi-final match of the 2019 ODI World Cup. It has been 5 years since the World Cup 2019, but the fans still remember MS Dhoni’s run out due to which India was out of the semi-finals. Recently, during an event, when a fan asked Dhoni that after the defeat in the 2019 World Cup, we were all heartbroken, how did Dhoni deal with it personally? MS Dhoni gave a big statement regarding the 2019 World Cup defeat MS Dhoni replied, “It was difficult because I knew this would be my last World Cup, so it would have been nice to be in the winning team. It was a heartbreaking moment, so we accepted the result and tried to move on. It takes some time and you get some time after the World Cup. I haven’t played international cricket since then so I’ve had a lot of time. So, yes, it was heartbreaking but at the same time you have to get over it. So you just accept that you tried your best, but you couldn’t win it.” MS Dhoni On 2019 World Cup Semi Final#MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/HAiXWBivef — Chakri Dhoni (@ChakriDhonii) July 31, 2024 Talking about that match, India got a target of 240 runs in the semi-final match played against New Zealand on 10 July in Manchester. India’s top order flopped badly in that match. After this, Jadeja played a brilliant innings of 77 runs in 59 balls and raised hopes of victory. At the other end, Dhoni was batting cautiously. India needed 31 runs to win in the last 12 balls. Dhoni hit a six on the first ball, but while trying to run two runs on the third ball, he was run out. Martin Guptill’s throw hit the wicket directly and Dhoni fell short of reaching the crease by a few inches. After that run out, every cricket fan including Dhoni had tears in their eyes and millions of fans’ hearts were broken that day. In that match, Dhoni was out after scoring 50 runs in 72 balls. That was also the last match of Dhoni’s international career.
“We are very concerned about security….”- Bangladesh seeks security advisor from government before going on Pakistan tour
Bangladesh team will soon tour Pakistan. Bangladesh Cricket Team (Photo Source: The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan. There is no clarity yet as to whether this ICC tournament will be played fully in Pakistan or in a hybrid model. In fact, due to security concerns, it seems impossible for India to go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the safety of its players in Pakistan, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has also sought a security advisor from its government for the upcoming tour. Let us tell you, Bangladesh has to tour Pakistan this month. Bangladesh has to play a two-match Test series against Pakistan at their home which will be a part of the ICC World Test Championship. Due to the political situation in Pakistan, many teams do not want to go there to play a series. The Bangladesh team will tour Pakistan on 17 August and will play a two-match Test series against the host team. The first match of the series will be played in Rawalpindi (21-25 August) and the second match will be played in Karachi (30 August-3 September). BCB President Jalal Yunus made a big statement before the tour “Look, it is their (Pakistan’s) job to provide security and we went there because they assured us of state-level security and the tour was planned after their assurance. I think you must have seen in the Asia Cup that the Bangladesh team went to Pakistan and they provided us state-level security and we agreed to go on this tour because they assured us of that,” BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus told reporters on Wednesday. He further said, “You must have seen in recent times that some international teams have also visited (Pakistan) and they are quite happy with the security provided. We are also very concerned about security but after knowing everything and getting assurance from them about security, we have decided to tour. Also, we have requested the government to provide us a security advisor during the tour who will keep communicating with them all the time about security issues.”

His bat has produced runs at an average of 68.53 in Tests and 36.15 in T20s. Yashasvi has 4 centuries and 9 half-centuries to his name in both formats combined.

He tried to bowl a yorker but the ball became a full toss and went very high in the air after hitting David Miller’s bat. I couldn’t say anything for the first 2 seconds because the angle was like that. The ball was not visible properly because of the stands. For the first 2 seconds, it seemed like the ball was going for a six because the wind direction was also like that. Suryakumar Yadav took an unbelievable catch: Jatin Sapru Jatin Sapru further said, ‘However, a few seconds later I saw from the corner of my eye that someone was running from long off. After this I saw Suryakumar Yadav complete the catch. I was really happy although I could not see the right moment due to the side screen.
