Rahul Dravid (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid recently revealed that the Indian team could not win the Test series in South Africa and this was the lowest point of his coaching tenure. Let us tell you, Rahul Dravid was appointed the head coach of the Indian team in November 2021. He was given this important post just before the tour of South Africa. The Indian team started this tour quite well and defeated South Africa by 113 runs in the first Test at Centurion. Many cricket fans thought that the Indian team would easily win this Test series but South Africa made a very good comeback and won the next two matches. Recalling this time, Rahul Dravid told Star Sports, ‘If you ask me what was my lowest point, I would say the South Africa Test series at the beginning of my career. We won the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. After this, we were playing the second and third Test matches. We had never won a series in South Africa and this was a big opportunity for all of us. There were some senior players who were not available.’ India lost 2-1 against South Africa Rahul Dravid further said, ‘Rohit Sharma was injured and some senior players were not in that series. We were very close in both the Tests. We had a great opportunity in the third innings of both these Tests because we had scored a very good score and could have won the match. However, South Africa played very well. They chased the target in the fourth innings and we lost the match. This was the lowest point of my career. I felt bad that we were ahead in this series but still could not win it.’ South Africa won the three-match Test series 2-1. The Indian team players failed to perform well in the second and third Tests. Not only this, Virat Kohli also resigned from the post of captaincy after this series. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal in Paris Olympics is like Team India’s defeat in World Cup 2023! Understand the whole matter here
Chopra had to be content with the silver medal in the javelin throw competition. Neeraj Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) The final of the javelin throw competition was played on 8 August at the Paris Olympics. Let us tell you that in this final, Neeraj Chopra, who was a strong contender to win the gold medal, had to settle for the silver medal. However, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan created a new Olympic record by throwing the javelin at 92.97 meters and won the gold medal. So today in this article we will try to look at this silver medal of Neeraj Chopra from the cricket perspective: Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal was like India’s defeat in World Cup 2023 We can see many similarities between Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal in the Paris Olympics and the performance of the Indian cricket team in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Because Team India came to the World Cup after winning the Asia Cup 2023, and was in excellent form. So something similar happened with Neeraj Chopra, as he won gold medals in the World Athletics Championship 2023 and Asian Games before participating in the Paris Olympics 2024. Chopra’s form was also amazing just like Team India. The Indian team did not lose any match in the World Cup in the league stage, and after that, it won the semi-finals and made it to the finals with 10 wins. Team India was a strong contender to win the finals, just like Neeraj was to win the gold medal in the Olympics. Whereas India was playing cricket on its home ground. So just like Team India lost against Australia in the World Cup, something similar happened to Neeraj in the Olympics with Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan. Neeraj has defeated Nadeem in all the competitions held before this, but yesterday on 8th August, in the javelin throw competition, he threw a brilliant throw and secured the gold medal. But this should not have happened to Neeraj and Team India on the day of the final. But it has to be accepted that after being informed, both times Team India and Neeraj have been overpowered by their opponents in the final. During both the matches, every Indian fan kept watching with rapt attention and thinking that had this not happened, Team India could have won the World Cup and Neeraj the gold medal. Team India could have ended the 13-year drought by winning the World Cup on Indian soil, while Neeraj could have become the greatest Indian track and field athlete by winning two consecutive gold medals at the Olympics. But perhaps this was not meant to happen. However, after this, the Indian cricket team’s dream of not winning the ICC trophy was fulfilled after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, but now Neeraj will have to wait for four years to win the gold medal again. So if everything goes well, then fans can see Neeraj and the Indian team winning the gold medal together in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in…

Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has praised captain Rohit Sharma for his fearless batting in the recent Sri Lanka ODIs. Recently, India’s performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka was forgettable. In this series, the hosts defeated India 2-0. In the third ODI, Sri Lanka defeated the visiting team by 132 runs and won the series with two huge wins. Rohit Sharma performed brilliantly with the bat in this three match series. During this, Rohit Scored 157 runs at an average of 52.33 and a blistering strike rate of 141.44. Meanwhile, veteran Indian off-spinner Ravi Ashwin has praised Rohit Sharma for his incredible performance in the series. R Ashwin said a big thing about Rohit Sharma’s batting Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin talked about Rohit’s aggressive intent. Ashwin admitted that Rohit’s batting was one of the few positives for the team. He said, “One thing that stood out for me in the Sri Lanka series was Rohit Sharma’s batting once again. No matter what is happening, no fear, Rohit means I am going to play with a bang. As a batsman, Rohit is brilliant at the moment.” Team India had to play its only ODI series this year against Sri Lanka and now the players have got a long break of 40 days. India now has to play only T20 and Test matches this year. According to its scheduled schedule, Team India has to compete against Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia this year. At the same time, before the Champions Trophy next year, India has to host England, against whom Team India has to play T20 and ODI matches. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma will now show his prowess in the 50-over format directly in the England series and then Team India will be seen playing under his captaincy in the Champions Trophy.
