Rahul Sharma played a total of 6 matches for Team India in international cricket in which he took 9 wickets. Recently, in an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he made big revelations about many things. Question: Currently you are playing LLC. Earlier the players were not able to participate in league cricket after retiring from international cricket. What do you think is the importance of this tournament? Rahul Sharma: It is a good thing because in Team India also we have played many matches together. We also enjoy playing together and meeting each other. IPL is a big tournament and people from there are seen playing in this league after retirement. Shikhar is brother, he has also participated in this league for the first time and I am enjoying watching him play. Question: Shikhar Dhawan has recently retired from all forms of cricket. Do you think he should have been given more chances? Rahul Sharma: Players know when they should retire and when not. Like I was also playing and recently I also took this decision. This is Shikhar Bhai’s thinking and I cannot say anything about it. Question: As a leg spinner, you played for Team India. Talking about Yuzvendra Chahal, he bowled very well along with Kuldeep but now he is not getting opportunities. To make your place in Team India, should you play as an all-rounder or bring variation in your bowling? Rahul Sharma: Chahal is playing well consistently. He has also performed brilliantly in the county. But as the game is changing, batting is also becoming important. There is no doubt that Chahal is a great bowler and I admire him myself. It is necessary for him to make changes in his batting also. One thing is also that it depends on the captain and coach as to what kind of team they want. Now Gautam Bhai is also there. They will have to take decisions. Gautam Bhai also needs a match winning bowler. Question: Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 format after winning the ICC T20 World Cup. Don’t you think they rushed? Rahul Sharma: Look at the decision of both these players. T20 format is a fast playing format. Both Rohit and Virat are among the best batsmen in the world. Rohit Sharma has participated in all the T20 World Cups and this is no small thing. According to me, whatever decision was taken, both of them took it of their own free will. Question: Virat Kohli has been seen struggling against spinners in recent times. You yourself are a leg spinner. What would you like to say about this problem of Virat Kohli? Rahul Sharma: What can I say about Virat Kohli. I have known him since childhood. He is one of the best batsmen in the world. I am no…

This is really a very big country and playing for Team India has always been a passion among the players here. This is a very positive thing. Also, there are many important things which are very important to complete a test match. Like the weather and the way we invest money in the drainage system. Do certain test centers help a player? Yes why not? This is because when we go to Australia, there are only five testing centers there. They don’t play with us at Manuka Oval in Canberra. There are only a few stadiums where test matches are played. We see the same in England too where Test matches are played in only a few centres.

Masood has been retained as the captain of the team while fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the team. Shaheen Afridi gave strange statement regarding Virat Kohli Shaheen did not get a place in the second and final Test against Bangladesh. Quoting Sportskeeda, journalists asked Shan Masood whether it is Abdullah Shafiq or Sam Ayub, the same type of players are playing T20 and Test. In response to this, the captain replied that he does not think your question is correct… He agrees that Pakistan has not played good cricket in 2024 but it is wrong to mix and compare Test performance with T20. He further said that things should be looked at objectively. You talk about statistics. The other day he kept looking at the record that Abdullah Shafiq, who has played 19 Tests, has a better record than Virat Kohli.

“Release Hardik Pandya” – Jadeja gave important advice to Mumbai Indians
53-year-old Jadeja believes that fast bowler Bumrah is more important than Hardik. In such a situation, use of RTM for Hardik can prove beneficial for MI. Jadeja said, “If you have RTM then you can take advantage of it. I am not saying that it decides the ability or strength of the player. However, if you look at a player like Bumrah and his value and then Hardik in the market, it will be a difficult task.”

He said, “The idea was to give equal opportunities to all the franchisees. Suppose if a franchise has a very good team and wants to retain them, then the average price of those players will be the same. It cannot be that the best player gets Rs 18 crore and the fifth player whom the team wants to retain is given Rs 5-6 crore.” Dhumal has also said that the real value of a player is often revealed in the auction.

If they are selected in the auction but somehow do not make themselves available, they will have to give valid reasons for the same. This is because the franchise owners and the team are working in detail to provide the best team for the tournament and every player is important. If he is not available then the team is affected.
