India will face Australia in a five-match Test series, with the first match starting on November 22 in Perth. Meanwhile, if some media reports are to be believed, Rohit may not be available for the first or second test due to personal reasons. In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, the former India opener confirmed the unofficial news. Aakash Chopra said in his video, “This will affect our emotions a bit. There is news about Rohit Sharma. It doesn’t come from official sources but I can confirm that the news is there. The news is that he may miss a match. This could be the first test or it could also be the second test. Since it is due to personal reasons, it is also being said that he may be available for the entire series.” Let us tell you that in the last Australia series, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not play some matches and Chopra has given his side on this issue. He said that Rohit’s possible absence for the Test this time would be a big blow for India. The former batsman further said, “He was injured last time and came straight to play the Sydney Test. He was not available in Adelaide and did not play the Melbourne Test. Virat Kohli played the pink-ball Test and was unavailable for the next three Test matches. Here too, Rohit Sharma will not be available for one of the first two Tests and Rohit’s absence will be a big blow to the team.
IND vs BAN: Will Samson be out of the third T20 match? SKY can give a chance to these players…..
IND vs BAN (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first two matches of the ongoing three-match T-20 series between India and Bangladesh have been played. The third match of the series will be played on October 12 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Talking about the two matches played, Team India played brilliantly and won both the matches and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Now India’s eyes will be on cleaning up the mess of the guests. Since India has won the series, captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir can give a chance to the players sitting on the bench. In such a situation, we will tell you in this article what changes can happen in India’s playing XI for the third T20. Sanju Samson got a chance to play as an opening batsman in the T20 series against Bangladesh, but he has not been able to take advantage of it yet. In the first T20, he was out after scoring 29 runs in 19 balls and in the second match, he was out after scoring 10 runs in 7 balls. In the first T20, he got a good start, but he could not convert it into a big innings, whereas in the second T20, he lost his wicket early. After failing twice in a row, whether Samson will get a third chance or not is the question in everyone’s mind. If Sanju Samson is dropped from the team, then only a wicketkeeper will get a chance in the playing XI, in such a situation only Jitesh Sharma is seen on the bench. Jitesh has played 9 T20 matches for India so far in which he has scored 100 runs in 7 innings. He played his first T20 for India in October 2023, but since then he has not got many opportunities. He last played T20 against Afghanistan earlier this year. India’s probable playing XI for the third T20 against Bangladesh: Abhishek Sharma, Jitesh Sharma/Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Ryan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakraborty, Harshit Rana/Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav.

Ryan Parag tried to surprise Mahmudullah by bowling in the action of Lasith Malinga. Riyan Parag (Photo Source: Team India’s young rising all-rounder Riyan Parag always remains in the headlines for some reason or the other. Riyan Parag once again managed to grab everyone’s attention during India vs Bangladesh 2nd T20. This time Ryan came into limelight due to his ‘outlandish action’. Whenever Riyan Parag gets the ball in his hands, he keeps trying to do something new, sometimes he tries to bowl like Malinga and sometimes he surprises the batsman with his speed. During the second T20 played against Bangladesh in Delhi, he crossed all limits. He surprised everyone by going outside the wicket and bowling. This incident happened in the 11th over of Bangladesh’s innings. Riyan Parag was thinking of doing something different on the fourth ball of the over. He tried to surprise Mahmudullah by bowling in Malinga’s action, but in the process he embarrassed himself. Watch the video of Riyan Parag’s strange bowling here In fact, in an attempt to surprise the batsman, Riyan Parag went so far away from the wicket that the umpire declared it a no ball. After this he did not repeat this mistake. The video of this ball of Riyan Parag is going viral very fast on social media. What was that Riyan Parag?#INDvsBAN pic.twitter.com/JAOTn2mLZM — sajid (@NaxirSajid32823) October 9, 2024 However, on the last ball of the same over, Riyan Parag took the wicket of Mehdi Hasan Miraz and made a place in the list of those 7 bowlers who took at least one wicket in yesterday’s match. This is the first time in the history of Indian cricket that 7 Indian bowlers have taken wickets in an innings of any format. Talking about the match, in the second T20, Team India, batting first, gave a target of 222 runs to the guests on the basis of half-centuries from Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh. Chasing this score, Bangladesh team could score only 135 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. India won the match by 86 runs and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The third match of the series will be played in Hyderabad.

Joe Root has scored the sixth double century of his career in 305 balls. Joe Root (Photo Source: The bat of England’s legendary batsman Joe Root is showing no sign of stopping these days. Joe Root has scored his second double century in Test cricket against Pakistan. This is a double century by a batsman in Multan after a long time. Team India’s former explosive opener Virender Sehwag has scored a triple century in Test cricket here. However, now Joe Root will be called the new Sultan of Multan, because scoring a double century against Pakistan on their own soil is a big thing. Joe Root completed his double century in this match in 305 balls. Joe Root’s bat did not work in Multan in 2022, but this time he destroyed the Pakistani bowlers. This is Joe Root’s sixth double century in his Test career. He hit only 14 fours in this innings. During his innings, Joe Root expressed more confidence in singles and doubles. Even though the pitch is flat and easy to bat on, they did a good job of holding one end as Pakistan scored 556 runs in the first innings. Joe Root has already scored a double century against Pakistan. He has played an inning of 254 runs against Pakistan in Manchester in 2016. This is his best score in the test. At the same time, he has scored two double centuries against Sri Lanka and one double century each against New Zealand and Pakistan. If Root bats fast today, then like Virender Sehwag, he can also score a triple century here. Talking about the match, Pakistan team was all out after scoring 556 runs in 149 overs, whereas England team has scored 658 runs in 130 overs and only three wickets have fallen. For Pakistan, three batsmen had scored centuries, while for England, two batsmen each had scored double centuries. After Joe Root, Harry Brook has also crossed the 200-run mark. Abdullah Shafiq, Shan Masood and Agha Salman had scored centuries for Pakistan.

“I 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup” – Big claim of Hitman’s childhood coach
Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is after winning the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India captain Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad has said a surprising thing. Dinesh Lad believes that, even if Rohit Sharma takes retirement from Test cricket after the final of the World Test Championship 2025, he will be seen playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup. He says that Rohit is increasing in age and he can retire from Test cricket after T20 International cricket to focus on ODI cricket. After T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma had announced his retirement from T20 International cricket. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad said, “I am not saying that he will retire from Test cricket after the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025. Maybe even take retirement, because as his age is increasing, it looks like he may retire from Test cricket. His childhood coach Dinesh Lad gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma The reason for this could also be that he wants to keep himself completely fit for ODI cricket. However, I give 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup.” The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Actually, Rohit Sharma wanted to win one ODI World Cup in his career and keeping that in mind, Dinesh Lad has given this statement. He was not selected in the squad for the 2011 ODI World Cup, which India won. After this, in 2015 he could not help the team win the World Cup, whereas despite scoring the most runs in the 2019 World Cup, his team lost in the semi-finals. At the same time, India had to face defeat in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. India had won 10 matches till the semi-finals and the team lost in the final. In such a situation, it is possible that we may see Rohit Sharma playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
“Will be dropped…”- Aakash Chopra gave a stern warning to Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Despite making his international debut nine years ago in 2015, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has not been able to permanently cement his place in the Indian cricket team. With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav have decided to give Samson a chance as an opening batsman in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma in the first match of the series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Samson displayed his timing and technique and scored 29 runs in 19 balls but could not make much impact and was out without finishing the match. meanwhile Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra, while stressing on the upcoming matches, warned that if Samson does not perform well, he could be dropped. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sanju Samson During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it is important to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing brilliantly until he was run out. But how much better Sanju Samson played. Gautam Gambhir had said long ago that if Sanju Samson does not play for India then it is a loss for the team. Gautam Gambhir made him open. He looked good and scored 29 runs. What I am saying is that when he had scored so many runs, he should have gone further. If he does not do this then he will be dropped. He was constantly in and out of the team. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson may get a chance to open in the next two matches and there he will have to try to play big innings. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, he will get a chance in the upcoming series.
