In this important match, India won the toss and decided to bowl first. Their decision has proved to be quite correct so far and the host has failed to establish its hold in this match. Not only this, during the fourth T20, India’s best spinner Ravi Bishnoi did a great fielding and ran out Zimbabwe’s Jonathan Campbell and gave India an important success. Let us tell you, Ravi Bishnoi has done very good fielding along with bowling in this series so far and has won the hearts of all the fans. Let us tell you, Ravi Bishnoi did this brilliant runout during his own bowling. Ravi Bishnoi, who came to bowl the 15th over of Zimbabwe’s innings, bowled a very good ball to Sikandar Raza which the Zimbabwe captain played softly. Sikandar Raza asked Jonathan Campbell to take the first run but as soon as he saw Ravi Bishnoi coming close to the ball, he immediately refused Campbell. Campbell started running back towards the non-striker end but Ravi Bishnoi caught the ball and immediately threw it towards the non-striker end and the Zimbabwean player was run out. Sikandar Raza himself looked very disappointed with his mistake.

He said, “He speaks very little in team meetings and one-on-one conversations but is very clear about what needs to be done. He puts some challenges in front of you and assigns roles to the players. He has always been a ‘team coach’. He wants to win at all costs and he wants every player to give his 100 percent contribution.” Speaking about the conditions in Harare, Avesh said that he is enjoying bowling here. He has taken six wickets in the three matches played in the current series. He said, “We have played on different wickets here. We played the first two matches on the same wicket. In the first match, it was giving good bounce but in the second match it became flat. The conditions are good and because this ground is open, the ball is also swinging a bit.”

“I don’t believe in injury and workload management”- Gautam Gambhir created a sensation with this statement as soon as he became the head coach
Team India is scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka next month for the ODI and T20I series. Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X) For the first time after becoming the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir has given his statement on the injury and workload management of the players. But the statement given by Gambhir on this may irritate those players who often get injured. In the present times, looking at the way cricket is being played every day, injury management and workload management of the players are often mentioned. However, it is believed that after Gambhir becomes the head coach, some big changes will be seen in Indian cricket, the biggest change of which will be that the players will not get the break they want. Team India has to tour Sri Lanka next month to participate in the ODI and T20 International series and this will be the first assignment of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding injury and workload management Just before the start of the Sri Lanka series, Gambhir has clearly said that if a player gets injured, he can recover and make a comeback, but he will not be given breaks repeatedly in the name of injury and workload management. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, ‘Look, I have a strong belief in one thing that if you can play, then you should play in all three formats. I have never believed in injury management, if you get injured, go and recover, it’s as simple as that. When you play international cricket, you should do as much as you can. If you ask any top player, they want to play all three formats. They don’t want the tag of a red ball bowler or a white ball bowler. Injuries are a part of any player’s career, if you play all three formats and get injured, you can go back and recover and come back into the team. You should play all three formats, I don’t believe much in keeping some players just for Tests, that we will manage his injury, we will manage his workload. Look, as a professional cricketer your career is very short, you are playing for your country, so you should play as much as you can. If you are in very good form, then play all three formats.
Who will be the next mentor of KKR after Gautam Gambhir?? This player is leading in the race
Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as India’s new head coach means that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be without a mentor for the next season. Gambhir’s tenure has led them to three Indian Premier League titles, two as captain and one as mentor. Meanwhile, some media reports have revealed that the KKR management is already looking for Gambhir’s replacement. According to a report in The Telegraph, South African great and former franchise coach Jacques Kallis is the frontrunner to replace Gambhir as KKR mentor. Although Chandrakant Pandit is set to continue as the head coach of the team, the appointment of Kallis might force him to play a role similar to Gambhir. Jacques Kallis can become KKR’s mentor for IPL 2025 The report added, “The franchise is also looking for a replacement for Gambhir, who was crucial to their third IPL title this year. The name of South African great all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who coached KKR in 2019, is also doing the rounds.” Interestingly, Kallis was part of the 2012 and 2014 IPL title-winning Kolkata team when Gambhir was the captain of the team. After his retirement in 2014, Kallis joined KKR as batting consultant in 2015, followed by his appointment as the team’s coach after Trevor Bayliss’ departure. He stayed with KKR till 2019 and then joined the South African team as batting consultant. Apart from a mentor, KKR may also need a batting coach. According to reports, KKR batting consultant Abhishek Nair is also in the race to join Gambhir’s support staff as an assistant coach in Team India. Meanwhile, Gambhir will start his tenure as India’s head coach with the Sri Lanka tour. The former India opener replaced Rahul Dravid in this position.
