Harbhajan Singh has previewed the upcoming match. Let us tell you, the performance of the Indian team in the last few ICC events has been quite ordinary and that is why they have not been able to win the trophy of these important tournaments.

Speaking in the Star Sports press room, Harbhajan Singh previewed the India vs Pakistan match which will be played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Harbhajan Singh said, ‘Many people do not know but Dhoni was also the new captain in the 2007 T20 World Cup and he needed support from all of us. In big teams like during matches against Australia, England and New Zealand, we all used to talk together and plan for the next few overs. For example, in the match against Australia, I bowled the 17th or 18th over and we gave only four runs. Later the batsmen were not able to score 25 runs in an over as is the case today. Whatever decision was taken, it was taken together with all the team players. When you play as a team you win most of the matches. Dhoni was a very good listener and he used to give decisions in favor of the team only after everyone’s consent. It was never the case that one player performed well because all of us were playing the match as a team. It is like this this time. Questions should not be raised on Rohit Sharma because he is not alone and it is about playing together. Harbhajan Singh made a big revelation regarding the final over of T20 World Cup 2007. Harbhajan Singh said about the final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2007, ‘When I finished my over, only one thing was going on in my mind. I was praying that we win this match from here. There was also a discussion going on as to who should be given the last over between me and Joginder Sharma. If Misbah-ul-Haq had not hit a six in my last over, I would have bowled the last over. But a lot of runs were lost in my last over and Misbah was also playing spin very well and that is why we went with Joginder Sharma. He had also said that I would bowl the last over,…

Harbhajan Singh told Hindustan Times, ‘I think with this IPL schedule it will be very difficult for everyone to play some matches together. But the good thing is that our first two matches are in America. Yes, I think in America we should have played four or five matches against top teams like England and Australia so that we could understand the situation better. But this time it will not happen. It is very important for the team to play together for 10 to 15 days: Harbhajan Singh Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘But now we have to understand the small window of two matches that we have. When you are participating in a big tournament like the World Cup, it is very important for the team to play together for 10 to 15 days. This will make your game better.

“What you did was completely beyond my understanding…”- Former Indian cricketer said on RR’s batting approach.
After electing to bat first in the match played in Chennai on Sunday, May 12, RR set a target of 142 runs for CSK. The host team chased the target with five wickets and 10 balls remaining and reached the third position in the points table. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra said that Rajasthan Royals His timid batting approach was not understandable. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement on RR’s batting approach. Aakash Chopra said, “I could not understand this match. I will say this very honestly. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat. Since it was an afternoon game, it made sense to bat first. After that, you were 131/3 before the start of 20 overs. The fast bowlers took three wickets and the spinners did nothing.” The former Indian opener further said, “So I am trying to understand that if this pitch was slow, the batsmen should have dismissed the spinners. It did not happen. Simarjeet (Singh) took wickets and none of the batsmen scored runs. If you score 131 runs in 19 overs, what you did was completely beyond my understanding.” Chopra pointed out that Rajasthan Royals have not yet qualified for the playoffs, which seemed to be a formality even though they had won eight of their first nine matches. Considering that the champions of the inaugural season of IPL are still set to qualify, whether they believe they will be able to make it to the top 2 now is a big question.

Chopra further said- I was thinking that finally Rohit is going to score runs, because now four or five matches have passed. They have not scored any runs on a bouncy wicket. He (Rohit) likes this ground and the team. Therefore, in this match, Rohit Sharma is a player on whom everyone will keep an eye.

With both the teams having 12 points from 11 matches, whichever team wins this match will move to third place in the points table and will also increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked some of the top performers for Wednesday’s match. They said that, “The first is like a broken record. You can write KL Rahul’s name there because everything depends on him. Please score runs because no other Indian player has scored many runs and does not even look like he is scoring runs. Therefore, KL Rahul will be expected to score runs.” The former Indian cricketer further said, “If there is any weakness in the opposition’s bowling, which has been seen throughout the season except the last two matches where Bhuvneshwar Kumar has performed sensationally, then exploit it. That’s why KL Rahul is number 1.” Chopra further said, “The second player I am thinking about is Nicholas Pooran. He has been a bit cold in the last two or three games and you want his bat to keep firing. If this team has to score or chase a big score then he has a big role to play. So I am going with him as my second player to keep an eye on.”
