Virat Kohli brought a lot of strength to the Indian team during his captaincy: Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan and Virat have played a lot of cricket together for India and in the IPL. Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Harbhajan Singh, famous as former legendary spinner and turbanator, has recently given a big statement about former Indian captain and legendary batsman Virat Kohli. Harbhajan says that even though Team India did not win the World Cup under Kohli’s captaincy, his captaincy brought a lot of strength to the team, which brought a big change in the thinking of the team. It was because of this change that India won the historic Border-Gavaskar Test series in Australia during the year 2020-21. Let us tell you that Kohli left this series midway and returned to India due to the birth of his first child. It is noteworthy that Virat captained the Indian team in a total of 213 matches in all three formats, in which India won 135 matches. MS Dhoni is ahead of Kohli in terms of most wins, but in Test cricket, Kohli captained 68 matches, in which the team won the maximum 40 matches. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Sports Yaari, Harbhajan said about Virat Kohli – You may not have won the World Cup under Kohli’s captaincy, but it does not make him any less captain or any less player. The fire he lit in the team, like if there is a target of 400 runs in the fourth innings of the Test, we will go to chase, we will not panic. If we go down, we do so in pursuit. This requires a lot of courage and brain, which Kohli instilled in the team and filled it with strength. On the other hand, Kohli was recently seen playing in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, but nothing special was seen from his bat. Kohli could score only 99 runs during this period. It will be interesting to see how Kohli is going to perform in the upcoming three-match Test series against New Zealand?

Hardik Pandya will never be able to return to Test cricket, former Indian player dismisses all speculations

He (Hardik Pandya) was practicing only with red-ball because white-ball was not available – Parthiv Patel Hardik Pandya & Parthiv Patel (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was recently seen practicing with the red ball, after which the news of his return to Test cricket has intensified. Meanwhile, former Indian wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has dismissed all reports of Hardik Pandya returning to the longest format of the game. Parthiv says that Hardik’s body is not in a condition to withstand the rigors of the five-day format. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya in Test – Parthiv Patel While talking about Hardik Pandya’s return to the Test format in a recent interview given to Hindustan Times, Parthiv Patel said that Hardik was practicing with the red ball because the white ball was not available. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya (in Tests). He was practicing only with the red-ball as the white-ball was not available. I don’t think his body allows him to play four-day and five-day matches. He will have to play at least one first-class match (before being considered for Test selection), which is very unlikely. Hardik Pandya last played a Test match for India in 2018 against England in Southampton. After this, continuous injuries kept him away from Test cricket. The all-rounder has scored 532 runs for India in 11 Test matches at an average of 31.29, which includes one century and 4 half-centuries. At the same time, he has also taken 17 wickets at an average of 31.05. Yash Dayal had to be given a chance in the second test – Parthiv Patel The second match of the Test series is currently being played between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. However, the second day’s play has been canceled due to rain. Parthiv Patel says that Team India could have given a chance to Yash Dayal in the Kanpur Test. Because then the team will not be able to experiment in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. India had a chance to use Yash Dayal in the second test. I am not underestimating Bangladesh, but if this Test match is drawn, it is very important to keep in mind that the next series will be against New Zealand, and then they will not be in a position to experiment.
