Akshar Patel praised the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav Led by Suryakumar, India got off to a great start by winning the first T20 International against Sri Lanka by 43 runs on Saturday. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Axar Patel emphasized the positive impact of SKY’s constant encouragement on the bowlers. Axar said, “I played with Surya bhai (as captain) in the last Australia series. I know he is the captain of the bowlers. He (sort of) gives you a free hand to decide first. Whenever you hit a boundary, he comes and says it was a good ball. He keeps giving you inputs. As a player, I have a good relationship with him.” Axar recalled the five-match T20 series against Australia in India last year, which India won 4-1. He observed Yadav’s consistent leadership style. “As a captain, I also played with him in the last five matches (against Australia) and when I was playing today, I didn’t feel much change,” he said. In the first T20, Suryakumar Yadav also showed his strategic skills in the first three overs. Akshar explained how captain Surya’s strategic suggestions helped the team focus on taking wickets despite the opposition team scoring early runs.
VIDEO: Ashish Nehra made fun of Jaiswal, said if Virat-Rohit were here then you would still be in the nets…
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-X) India started the series in a great way by defeating host Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20 International match at Pallekele on Saturday. Batting first, the Indian batsmen scored more than 200 and put the home team under pressure. But after the match, Ashish Nehra said something about Yashasvi Jaiswal that even Yashasvi Jaiswal was surprised to hear. Now its video is going viral on social media, in which Yashasvi is seen just smiling on Ashish Nehra’s question. Actually, after the first match of the three-match T20 series being played between India and Sri Lanka, Ashish Nehra made fun of Yashasvi. In the viral video, it can be seen that there was a conversation between former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja and him regarding the match. Then Yashasvi Jaiswal joined the field through video call and Ajay Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on the field? Before Yashasvi could answer this question, Nehra jumped in and laughingly said that as Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit-Virat are on the field… so I think whatever strokes I have seen of yours, you would have had to play them in the nets. As soon as Nehra said this, Jaiswal also started laughing. Nehraji never disappoints. PS When we see fierce batting, @YUVSTRONG12 is always on our mind 🔥🔥#SonySportsNetwork #SLvIND #AshishNehra , @ybj_19 pic.twitter.com/y1gAo1RmiT — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) July 27, 2024 In this match, the pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal (40) and Shubman Gill (34) gave a stormy start to Team India, batting first, adding 74 runs in the first 6 overs.

For India, Riyan Parag took three wickets for five runs in 1.2 overs. Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel took two wickets each.
“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.

Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to play in Border-Gavaskar, BCCI is preparing a special plan
The Indian selectors are considering picking left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the Test squad, although he has only played for India in the limited-overs format so far. He impressed everyone during India’s T20 World Cup win and there are talks that he could be included in the Test squad for the Australia tour later this year.

A source told the Times of India, “Arshdeep has performed impressively in white ball cricket for India. He may be asked to play some red ball matches starting with the Duleep Trophy from September 5 to increase his chances of selection for the Australia tour. There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.” The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.” Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year.

PCB gave a big tension to ICC, this trick was used to call India to Pakistan for Champions Trophy
The Champions Trophy will be played under the hosting of Pakistan in 2025. Champions trophy 2025 (Image Credit- Twitter The ICC Champions Trophy will be played in 2025 under the hosting of Pakistan. A total of 8 teams will participate in this tournament. There is no clarity on whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for this Champions Trophy or not. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear that the government will decide on playing in Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been trying to convince the BCCI for a long time. However, PCB has now given up this tension and has adopted a new strategy. PCB has handed over the task of convincing India to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Let us tell you that in the Asia Cup held last year under the hosting of PCB, India played all its matches in Sri Lanka on the basis of ‘hybrid model’. However, there is no clarity on whether the ‘hybrid model’ will be adopted in the Champions Trophy or not. Although the Champions Trophy budget was approved at the recent ICC meeting in Colombo, the schedule and format were not discussed. The ICC has kept supplementary expenses in its tournament budget to deal with any situation, including the possibility of the Indian team playing its matches outside Pakistan. This report came out regarding Champions Trophy According to media reports, a PCB source said, “The PCB has now done what was expected of it as the host of the Champions Trophy. It has submitted the draft schedule and format of the competition and has also submitted the budget for the competition.” He said, “Now it is up to the ICC how quickly they circulate, discuss and finalise the schedule of the Champions Trophy. The PCB has suggested in the draft schedule to host all the matches of India in Lahore including the semi-finals (if India qualifies) and the final.”
“Suryakumar Yadav will not play in Champions Trophy 2025”- Aakash Chopra made a big prediction
Suryakumar Yadav has not been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket so far. Suryakumar Yadav and Aakash Chopra. (Image Source: BCCI/X) Suryakumar Yadav, one of the world’s most dangerous batsmen in T20 cricket, has not yet been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket. The ICC Champions Trophy is to be held in February and March next year. The Champions Trophy will be played in ODI format. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav. Chopra believes that T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy because he is not fitting into the ODI team. Let us tell you that BCCI has recently appointed Suryakumar as the captain of the Indian T20 team. He beat Hardik Pandya in the race for captaincy. However, Surya did not get a place in the ODI squad against Sri Lanka. Aakash Chopra made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav When Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked about this in the press conference, he said in clear words that Surya will remain a part of the T20 setup for now. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the ODI World Cup 2023 final. He was also in the team that played the T20 World Cup 2024 final. He took a wonderful catch of David Miller. However, Surya is no longer a part of the ODI team. In such a situation, when questions were asked about Surya, it was said that he is a great and special player but will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and the Champions Trophy is about to come. So you can assume that Suryakumar will not be seen in the Champions Trophy. The former cricketer said that Shubman Gill is sure to play in the Champions Trophy. Chopra said, “Gill will be seen in the Champions Trophy. He (Agkar) said that Gill is a player of all three formats. Gautam Gambhir (head coach) also believes that if a player of all three formats is found then there is nothing wrong. Gill’s captaincy has also been seen. Whatever captaincy he has done, it has been liked. Therefore, he has also been made the vice-captain.
