“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.

The way the boys batted was fantastic.” Now the result of the last match of the series will not matter, so when Suryakumar was asked if there is a possibility of some players from the ‘reserve bench’ getting a chance, he said, “We will sit and decide. I am very happy for the boys. They performed very well in difficult circumstances.” India’s googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi was happy that his ‘wrong on’ ball is proving to be effective for him. Ravi Bishnoi, who became the player of the match in the second T20 against Sri Lanka, said after the match, “The pitch was a little different from yesterday. Today in the first innings it helped the spinners. I stuck to my plan. I like to bowl the ‘wrong on’ ball. It is a good responsibility because it means that the captain and management trust me.”

Because of this specialty of Riyan Parag, he will get continuous opportunities in Team India, Irfan Pathan told the big reason

Riyan Parag took 3 wickets in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Irfan Pathan and Riyan Parag (Image Credit- Twitter Indian cricket team’s young all-rounder Riyan Parag is the topic of discussion these days. The reason was his selection not only in the T20 but also in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour. When Parag was selected for this tour, many questions arose in the minds of fans and former cricketers. But the kind of performance Riyan Parag gave against Sri Lanka in the first T20 match held at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on 27 July might have given some answers. Parag scored only 7 runs in 6 balls in this match, but took three wickets in 1.2 overs in bowling. On the other hand, now a big statement has come from former Team India veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan regarding Riyan Parag. Pathan says that Parag is going to get more opportunities in Team India in the coming times due to his bowling ability. Irfan Pathan made a big statement about Riyan Parag Let us tell you that recently Irfan Pathan posted on his official x account about Riyan Parag and wrote – You will see Riyan Parag getting many opportunities due to his bowling ability. India’s top order batsmen do not have the ability to bowl. This is where Riyan Parag will get an additional advantage and this is right too. See this tweet of Irfan Pathan You will see Riyan Parag getting many chances due to his bowling ability. As a top-order batsman, not many in the country have the ability to roll their arm over. This is where Riyan Parag will get an extra advantage, and rightly so. — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) July 28, 2024 So if we give you information about Riyan Parag, he is currently in Sri Lanka with Team India. After his amazing bowling performance in the first T20 match, he is expected to play in the second T20 match as well, which will be played on 28 July at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. It will be interesting to see how he is going to perform in this match?

Rishabh Pant in T20i: Should India move on from Rishabh Pant in T20?

Let’s try to find out Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team has entered the post Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma era in T20 cricket after the T20 World Cup. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, both these players have decided to quit the shortest format of the game. So after the departure of these two, two places have become vacant in India’s T20 team, for which there are many contenders. However, there is a lot of discussion these days about Rishabh Pant, who played at number 3 in the last T20 World Cup, whether he should remain in the T20 team, because with the in-form Sanju Samson, the rest of the wicketkeepers are sitting out. Today in this article, we will try to know this by telling about three such reasons, so that you can understand whether Rishabh Pant should continue in T20 International cricket for the Indian cricket team or not? So let’s start: 1. Disappointing overall and recent numbers Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: If we look at Rishabh Pant’s overall and recent T20 cricket statistics, we will find that he is not up to expectations. Also, Pant gets more opportunities in Team India than other wicketkeeper batsmen. Pant has an average of 23.21 and a strike rate of 127.32 in 75 T20 matches for Team India. So his batting average from number 2 to number 6 is 28. Also, his batting average at number three is 27.50 and strike rate is 131.37. In such a situation, you can guess whether he should remain in the T20 team or not.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has shared a video on its official social media account in which Suryakumar Yadav said, ‘I have seen Riyan Parag bowling in the IPL. I had also said in the press conference that he will be our X-factor. If the batsman is not able to hit big shots on such an easy ball, then the job will become even easier for a captain. The team has a lot of depth in batting and everyone has a skill. That is why you know very well that if one day the skill of one player does not work, then the others will take care of it. I want to become a leader, not a captain.

I bowl as much as possible behind the scenes. There was talk in the nets that I might have to bowl and I was fully prepared for it. I also spoke to Gautam Sir and asked him how I should bowl in the 16th or 17th over of the match. The rest of the players made my job very easy. I was just bowling at the stumps and the ball was also spinning.’ India has won the first T20 match and now the second match between these two teams will be played today i.e. on 28th July.
