“We were shouting at Doug, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, but…” – Mohit Sharma said on Dhoni’s dispute with the umpire
IPL 2019: MS Dhoni is the most successful bowler in IPL history. The great MS Dhoni, known for his calm and composed nature on the cricket field, is considered one of the greatest captains in the history of the game. He also got the nickname of ‘Captain Cool’ by his fans. However, Dhoni has been seen getting angry on the cricket field many times by the fans. One of the biggest incidents among these was during IPL 2019 when Dhoni entered the field in the middle of the match due to a no ball controversy and started fighting with the umpires. Now former CSK fast bowler Mohit Sharma has spoken on this incident and told what was the atmosphere in the dressing room at that time. Let us tell you, during the 2019 IPL, there was a controversy when the umpire took back the decision after giving a no ball during a match against Rajasthan Royals. In the last over, CSK needed some 8 runs to win. One of Ben Stokes’ balls was above the waist, one umpire gave it a no ball while the other umpire standing at square leg overturned the decision. Mahi got furious and entered the field to fight with the umpire. We were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go – Mohit Sharma said about MS Dhoni Recalling this incident, Mohit Sharma said on the 2 Sloggers podcast, “We were in the dugout, we were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. But he didn’t even look back. He went like this, when it seemed like a lion had entered. He was already angry because he got out at the wrong time. He had just come to the dugout after getting out and the next ball was a no ball and the umpire did not give it.” He further said, “When he returned, he asked me to bring the laptop. Then the video analyst showed him the video and he said, ‘It was a no-ball.’ However, he also regretted going to the field. But the match was so exciting that all this happened in the blink of an eye.”
“Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere, he will remain in DC”- Shocking claim by former Indian cricketer
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it. He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.
Praveen Kumar Exclusive: Friendship with Rohit, captaincy and IPL coaching, read Crictracker’s special conversation with Praveen Kumar
Let us know what Praveen said in this conversation Praveen Kumar (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar was very famous for swing bowling during his cricketing career. His cricket career for the Indian team lasted for about 6 years, in which he performed brilliantly. So these days Praveen is seen in the role of coach in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC). In the ongoing LLC 2024 season, he is working as the head coach of Manipal Tigers. So recently, in a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, he talked about Rohit’s captaincy, IPL coaching and other important topics. So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Praveen Kumar: Question: What do you have to say about your new role in LLC? Praveen Kumar:It feels great. Question: Can you coach the Indian team or any IPL team? Praveen Kumar: Yes, definitely, if someone gives me a chance I will definitely go. Question: You have played a lot with Rohit, he is also a very good friend of yours, did you think at that time that he would become such a successful captain of India? Praveen Kumar: It definitely seemed that he has quality. His captaincy is very simple, it is not like any hot-fisted captaincy, panicking, this is happening, he remains normal. It feels good when he captains. Question: If someone wants to become a fast bowler in India then what is most important for him? Praveen Kumar: See, some bowlers are natural. See, there are only a few bowlers who can bowl 150 balls, there is a little difference in their physique, their arm, Shoaib Akhtar’s arm is a little different, RP’s is also like that, Bumrah’s arm is also like that, otherwise bowlers from all over the world would have bowled 150 balls. That is because their training is different, their body is different, that is why they are different bowlers. Question: Bumrah is currently doing well in all three formats, so who can be the next Indian bowler like him? Praveen Kumar: No, there are a lot of boys. There is a boy named Akashdeep who is doing well, so boys are coming.
EXCLUSIVE: Pragyan Ojha Interview with CricTracker: How long will Dhoni play in IPL, who will be India’s next all format captain and how to find another off-spinner like Ravichandran Ashwin? Pragyan Ojha answered all these questions
Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview with Crictracker (Source Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers team under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.
Asghar Afghan Exclusive Part-2: Afghanistan in Champions Trophy, coaching in IPL and how to improve Test cricket? Read Crictracker’s exclusive interview with Asghar Afghan
Read this special interview with Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Image Credit- Twitter/X) Former Afghanistan cricket team captain Asghar Afghan will be seen playing for Gujarat Greats in the third season of Legends League Cricket (LLC). Recently, he had a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, about the Afghanistan team. In this interview, he has told what the Afghan team will have to do to do well in Test cricket. How is Afghanistan going to perform in the Champions Trophy? And is he himself going to be seen working with any IPL team? So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Asghar Afghan: Question: How do you see the performance of the Afghanistan team in the upcoming Champions Trophy? Asghar Afghan: Look, the pitches of Pakistan and India are quite similar. There are batting tracks, later they are a bit slow. But Afghanistan will have to go there and play good cricket. As I said earlier, Afghanistan players are very experienced at this time, they play cricket leagues all over the world, play different bowlers. In my opinion, today there is no team as experienced as Afghanistan in the world except India and one or two other teams. But it is being heard that India will go to Pakistan or not because of politics. In my opinion, these things should be kept away from cricket. Sports should be kept away from politics. Afghanistan will play very good cricket in the upcoming Champions Trophy. They have a lot of experience in the 50-over World Cup and the T20 World Cup, the team now knows that they can beat any team. So, I hope that this time Afghanistan’s performance in the Champions Trophy will be different. Question: What more does Afghanistan need to do to improve in Test cricket? Asghar Afghan: Look, first of all we have to make our first class cricket tough. Whenever Afghanistan has a first class season, I think all national players should play the first class season. Our first class season is about to start, but about 40-50 of our young cricketers have left the country. If the current 25-30 cricketers also do not play first class cricket, then our test cricket will be left far behind. My suggestion to the cricket board is that they should ask the national players to play domestic cricket so that the youth can gain experience. Only then can we do well in this format. Question: This time too you are playing LLC season, how is your preparation this season and will your team lift the trophy? Asghar Afghan: On the paper, our team is very good. The team has players like Shikhar Dhawan, Chris Gayle, Mohammad Kaif, Shannon Gabriel. We are just playing regular cricket. Before this, I have also played a lot of cricket leagues. You can’t say anything in T20 cricket, let’s see what happens, but we will try to play good cricket. Question: If you get a chance to work in IPL in…
