MS Dhoni can easily captain Australia from the dressing room: Matthew Hayden
Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the cricket world MS Dhoni and Matthew Hayden (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Australian cricket team opener Matthew Hayden has made a big statement about former Indian captain and finishing master MS Dhoni. Hayden feels that Dhoni’s aura is so big that he can easily captain the Australian team. It is worth noting that Hayden has played in IPL under Dhoni’s captaincy from 2008 to 2010. When Chennai Super Kings won the IPL title for the first time in 2010, Hayden was a member of that team and Dhoni was the captain. Hayden has also said that Dhoni is the X factor for any team, who puts the team first instead of himself. Matthew Hayden made a big statement about MS Dhoni Let us tell you that recently Matthew Hayden said in an interview to Sports Vikatan- Dhoni is exactly like I have said earlier. He can easily captain the team while sitting in Australia’s dressing room because he believes that he is not bigger than anyone else. He is a very humble person who works hard, and Dhoni does not promote himself at all. Hayden further said- You will never hear Dhoni telling how great a captain he is and what he has achieved. It is just the factor of the name MS Dhoni. You look at Australia and think about 25 million people, how did they win the World Cup against us? Dhoni just tries to bring people together. He does his work in such a way that there is no ego in it. It is worth noting that the Indian team has won all three ICC titles (T20 World Cup 2007, World Cup 2011 and Champion Trophy 2013) under Dhoni’s captaincy. India last won an ICC event in 2013 under Dhoni’s captaincy. Since then, India has not won any ICC event.
Hardik Pandya is a strong person and has moved on from the IPL setback: Ian Bishop
Hardik’s performance as a player and captain in IPL 2024 was disappointing. Ian Bishop and Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has made a big statement about Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Bishop says that he is a strong person and has moved on from the setback of IPL 2024. It is worth noting that Hardik Pandya had to face a lot of criticism in IPL 2024.

Mumbai won 4 out of 14 matches played in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik, while they had to face defeat in 10 matches. The team finished last in the points table. So, Hardik Pandya’s performance as a player was also not very special. Hardik scored a total of 216 runs in 14 matches played at an average of just 18. However, now he is present with the Indian cricket team for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. So, if the Indian team has to perform well in the T20 World Cup, then Hardik’s performance is very important. On the other hand, this statement given by Bishop must have definitely boosted Hardik’s confidence. Ian Bishop made a big statement about Hardik Pandya Let us tell you that during the ongoing T20 World Cup, Ian Bishop said about Hardik Pandya as quoted by India Today – I think he is a person with a very strong personality.

Bishop further said- So, I want the fans to look at it from a different perspective. Fans have the right to express their opinion, and they can express their opinion as they see fit. I am sure that he has reached the biggest stage of international cricket and his full picture is in front of us. He is a strong person.

So now former Indian player RP Singh has given a big statement regarding the selection of Rinku Singh in the Indian cricket team for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Because of this Rinku Singh was not selected Let us tell you that in a promotional event of the Indian cricket team jersey, RP Singh said as quoted by India Today- Rinku Singh should have definitely been in the T20 World Cup team, I think his not being selected was a bit unfortunate.
