DTVHINDI‘If you have to bench Shadab then do it’ Former Pakistani legend made a big statement before the T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup is starting from 1 June Shadab Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and well-known cricket commentator Rameez Raja has made a big statement about Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan. It is worth noting that before the T20 World Cup 2024, Shadab has failed to make an impact with his performance. Shadab’s performance in the recent four-match T20 series against England was disappointing. Rameez says that Shadab has wasted the opportunities he got at number 5 in the Pakistani team and if he has to be benched in the T20 World Cup, then so be it. In the two matches played against England, Shadab was able to score only 3 runs, while he was out on a duck once. Before T20 World Cup 2024, Rameez Raja made a big statement about Shadab Khan Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Rameez Raja said about Shadab Khan through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The middle order batting flopped in the fourth T20 match against England, due to which there was a shortage of runs and we lost the match. Imad Wasim should be selected for all the matches. You can promote Sam Ayub in batting, because Shadab does not fit at number 5. He has missed the opportunities he got at this number. Rameez further said- If a proper batsman comes at number 5, then Pakistan cricket team will get more balance. I do not understand what is Shadab’s role in the team. He is not able to perform at number 5 and is out of form. If you have to bench Shadab then do it. Number 7 can be his best batting order, he tries to play like a slugger. Pakistan Cricket Team for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhan Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.

Abhishek is performing brilliantly in IPL 2024 Abhishek Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Young all-rounder Abhishek Sharma has performed brilliantly in the ongoing IPL season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

Moody says that Abhishek is going to be a big asset for Team India in the coming times. Tom Moody gave a big statement about Abhishek Sharma Let us tell you that Tom Moody said about Abhishek Sharma as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo- He (Abhishek Sharma) supports himself 100 percent. But due to some reason, he is not able to bowl as much as he needs to. But for the future of the Indian cricket team, he needs to bowl because he is a serious package. He is going to be a big asset for Team India in the future. He is a player who can bowl as well as bat with the left hand. Moody further said- The reason for dominating the spinner is that he attacks the ball by jumping on it. He bowls overspin in bowling and is currently working on the carrom ball. He took the wicket of Shimron Hetmyer with this ball, and that ball was a brilliant ball.
This all-rounder of Team India would prove to be a legend in Test format, but…. Why did Gautam Gambhir take the name of this player after years?
Gautam Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir had recently said that Yuvraj Singh should have played more Test matches in his career. The whole world knows that Yuvraj Singh is the uncrowned king of white ball cricket and a player like him has not been seen in Team India till now. Yuvraj Singh was the match-winning player of Team India, although he could not last long in the Test format. But now he could not convert his success into the Test format. Yuvraj Singh’s career Yuvraj Singh’s statistics are excellent. He has scored 8965 runs in 139 matches at an average of 44.16. However, his numbers declined when it came to red-ball cricket at the international level. He scored only 1900 runs at an average of 33.92 after 40 matches. Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Let us know what he said- “When we talk about statistics or performance, you see what an amazing performance Yuvi has shown in the 2011 World Cup. He was the player of the tournament in the 2011 World Cup. Look at what Yuvi did in 2007 also. You pick up Yuvi’s performance, what he has done for India. You look at Yuvi’s innings against Australia, look at his innings against England. You see Yuvi’s impact in the 2007 T20 World, I have tried to tell the world again what Yuvi has achieved in his career. I just want to remind world cricket of these things.” “I consider Yuvi to be the best player in ODI and T-20. I have not seen a better player than him in white ball cricket. Yuvi’s performance not only in batting but also in bowling and fielding is astonishing. There is no other player like him in India. But unfortunately we talk less about Yuvi. Which is absolutely wrong. There are many reasons behind this but I do not want to tell them here.” “See, Yuvi has played very little Test cricket. If he had got a chance to play more Tests, his records would have been excellent. He could do well in tests also. I would definitely say that Yuvi has got less opportunity to play Test.”

He will get support from his fellow players, both Indian and foreign, as he is a highly respected cricketer and performs well as an all-rounder. But when you lose two or three games, captaincy can be a completely different game. ‘He is strategically strong’ Suddenly people find faults in your captaincy, they find faults in the decisions taken by you. When you’re winning, you can make the strangest decisions and still have people look at them as strokes of genius. Hardik has experience as the captain of Gujarat Titans, he is strategically strong and will get the support of all the senior players, Indian and foreign.”
