Now the team’s next match will be against Pakistan on June 9 at the Nassau County International Stadium. All the fans are eagerly waiting for this match. By the way, both the teams have more than one match winners. Talking about bowlers and batsmen, Team India has many legendary players. In bowling, India has Jasprit Bumrah, who makes Pakistani batsmen tremble. But apart from him, there is another bowler who can make Pakistani batsmen see stars in the day in this match. Now you must be wondering who that bowler is, so let us tell you that that bowler is none other than Arshdeep Singh. We will also tell you the reason behind why we are saying this. Arshdeep Singh dismissed Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in T20 World Cup 2022 In fact, when the match was played between India and Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup, Arshdeep Singh gave Team India a good start by dismissing two big Pakistani batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Due to the early dismissal of these two batsmen, the Pak team could not score big in that match. In such a situation, there will be a lot of expectations from Arshdeep Singh in this match as well. However, one thing was that Jasprit Bumrah was not playing in that T20 World Cup and he was out of this tournament due to injury. But this year both the players are part of Team India. In such a situation, if both these bowlers are in form that day, then it will not be easy for the Pakistani batsmen to play against them. Apart from these two, India also has the option of Siraj and Hardik. In the spin department, they have Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Akshar Patel and R Ashwin. Talking about the performance of both the teams in this edition of T20 World Cup, India got a one-sided victory against Ireland in its first match. Whereas Pakistan had to face defeat against USA in its first match.

Just before the IND vs IRE match, there was a ruckus about the New York pitch, experts targeted ICC
There was a controversy over the pitch of Nassau County International Stadium. Nassau County Stadium (Image Credit- Getty Images) The first match of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played yesterday (June 3) between Sri Lanka and South Africa at the newly built stadium of New York, i.e. Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. After the first match itself, questions have been raised about the pitch. This pitch is not considered suitable for T20 cricket. This match played between SL vs SA was a very low scoring match. In this match, South Africa first bowled out Sri Lanka for 77 runs. Enrique Norkhia took 4 wickets for the African team. Kusal Mendis was the top scorer for Sri Lanka, he scored 19 runs. South Africa won this match by 6 wickets, but the team had to bat for almost 16 overs to score 78 runs. Tristan Stubbs, who is known for his stormy batting, scored 13 runs in 28 balls. This has raised questions on the pitch. Be it Sri Lankan batsmen or South African batsmen, everyone had to struggle a lot to score runs in this match. After the match ended, many questions are being raised about the pitch of Nassau International Stadium. Many cricket experts including fans are also not happy to see the pitch there. After this match, former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that this pitch of Nassau is not ideal for T20 cricket. Veteran cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle posted an comment on this and wrote, “I am not sure this is the best introduction to cricket in a new country.” The drop-in pitch in New York has been brought from Adelaide, whose maintenance is the responsibility of Damian Hugh. Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that the New York pitch looks like a pitch from the 80s and the batsmen are from 2020. This is not a good union. Apart from this, many cricketers have given their opinion on this pitch.

Not a good union. #CricketInNY — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) June 3, 2024 Not an ideal pitch for t20 cricket. — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) June 3, 2024
“If Gautam Gambhir comes”- said Ganguly on becoming the next head coach of Team India
Gautam Gambhir and Sourav Ganguly (Image Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir’s name is being put forward for the next new head of the Indian team. Rahul Dravid’s tenure will end after the T20 World Cup 2024. It is believed that Gautam Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India after Rahul Dravid. Kolkata Knight Riders appointed Gautam Gambhir as a mentor ahead of IPL 2024 and KKR won their third title under his mentorship. At the same time, former Indian team captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said that he would be happy if Gambhir becomes the coach. Ganguly is in favor of the Indian coach. Rahul Dravid’s tenure ends after the T20 World Cup 2024. He has been handling the responsibility of the head of the Indian team since November 2021. Sourav Ganguly expressed his opinion on Gautam Gambhir becoming the head coach While talking to Revsports, Sourav Ganguly said that, “I am in favour of having an Indian coach because our country has immense talent. Our country has highly skilled players who have made valuable contributions to Indian cricket and they should be a part of the system.” When Ganguly was asked if Gambhir, who is leading the race for the coach’s post, would be suitable for this role, he said, “Has he (Gambhir) applied? Because first he has to apply and only then will he be able to get this post. I think May 27 was the last date for application.” Ganguly said, “If Gambhir has applied, then you must have seen how he worked for KKR this year. You could see his hunger and passion for winning. If he has applied and the board decides to give him this post, then I will be happy. I believe that he is a good candidate for this post.” Ganguly says that India is a strong contender for the title in the T20 World Cup being jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies. He said, “India has a very good chance of winning the World Cup. India has to play like a T20 team. There is a lot of talent in this team.”
“Needless to say that he is a great player, but…”- Sourav Ganguly said about Virat
Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that if India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to bat with freedom like he did for his franchise RCB in the IPL. Kohli was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 and he gave a befitting reply to his trolls by showing aggressive play in the middle overs. Ganguly also advised that he should open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. His strike rate was also the best in his IPL career this season. The RCB star batsman scored 741 runs in 15 matches. His average was 61.75 and strike rate was 154.70. Ganguly has said that if Team India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to play with complete freedom. I want Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open for Team India- Sourav Ganguly During a conversation on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “I would like Virat and Rohit to open together. I want Virat to bat the same way he did for RCB in the second half of the IPL. He has to bat with freedom. Needless to say, he is a great player, but for India to do well, Virat has to bat with freedom like in the IPL. So my choice would be Virat and Rohit in the top order.” Let us tell you that Team India will start its T20 World Cup campaign from June 5, when the team will play its first match against Ireland. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on June 9. Ganguly said about the team, “The team has many great players and they are entering the tournament on the basis of some serious T20 cricket in the form of IPL. This will help them in New York. Another thing in their favour will be that their grounds are big and this will help our spinners. You can never rule out India in the World Cup, because there are so many great players in the team.
It’s confirmed! Gautam Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India, BCCI will announce soon
Rahul Dravid will remain the head coach of Team India till the T20 World Cup. Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The big question is who will be the next head coach of Team India’s men’s team after Rahul Dravid. According to some media reports, Gautam Gambhir is reportedly ready to take this responsibility. After his successful tenure as the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, it is believed that Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India. It was believed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) could discuss the role of head coach of the Indian team with many big Australian players as well as other IPL coaches like Stephen Fleming and Andy Flower. But since Gambhir has come into the race, the discussion on all these names has stopped. Gautam Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India It has been said in many media reports including India Today that Gautam Gambhir will now take over the post of head coach in place of Rahul Dravid. This is also being said because Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title under Gambhir’s mentorship, before that Gautam Gambhir was also associated with Lucknow Super Giants. BCCI had invited applications for the post of head coach till May 27. It is being said that Gautam Gambhir had also applied for it. BCCI was also talking to former New Zealand player and Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming for the post of head coach. However, for some reason, things did not work out with those players. Gautam Gambhir was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2012. Then Kolkata won both its IPL titles in the year 2012 and 2014 under the captaincy of Gambhir. After this, the KKR franchise could not win any title for 10 years. Gautam Gambhir was made the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. Under his mentorship, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title.
