Gautam Gambhir has recently become the new head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj (Source: x) Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj has recently made a big statement. Sanjay has said about his former student that he has had the hunger and passion to succeed right from the beginning. Also, Sanjay has said that people may think from a distance that he is arrogant and behaves badly with the players, but it is not so. Because of always winning the game, he always behaves like a 12-year-old boy. Sanjay Bhardwaj gave a big statement about Gautam Gambhir Let us tell you that recently on the YouTube channel of Manjot Kalra, who was a member of the Under 19 World Cup 2018 winning Indian team, Sanjay Bhardwaj said – Even today he is like an innocent child. There is nothing wrong in him. He is like a 12-year-old child, people think that he is arrogant, but his behavior is like this because of winning. I used to ask him to play matches after the nets and he used to cry after losing the match. Even at that time he did not like to lose. A person with a true personality will obviously be with Gambhir. Bhardwaj further said about Gambhir’s coaching- Gautam Gambhir will not go after the technical aspects, because technical improvement is not needed at that level. You are there because you are technically very good. What Gambhir will work on is the tactical aspect. Gambhir’s job will be to boost the morale and instill confidence in the player who is perhaps not sure of himself. On the other hand, if we talk about Gambhir’s coaching tenure with Team India, out of five matches, the Indian team has won three, one match was tied and the Team India had to face defeat in one match.

“We cannot follow England’s “Bazball”, we have played only 2 matches…” – Bangladeshi player Zakir Hasan made a big statement
England has a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new – Zakir Hasan Zakir Hasan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Bangladesh cricket team is going to tour India in September for a two-match Test series. Before this tour, the team’s opening batsman Zakir Hasan has made a big statement about the team’s performance in Tests. Let us tell you, Bangladesh’s performance in ICC tournaments has been very disappointing, and the team is not showing anything special in Tests either. Last year, the team played only four Test matches, out of which it won one and lost three. The players have been facing a lot of criticism due to poor batting in Tests. We play two matches in a series- Zakir Hasan Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan says that they cannot follow England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, because the English team plays four to five matches in a Test series. And Bangladesh plays only two matches in a series. Hasan has called it a matter of concern. Talking to Cricbuzz, Zakir Hasan said, As a cricketer, it matters more to me how I help the team with my performance than playing beautiful shots. As you said about playing for a long time in Tests, England may play one way. But if you analyze, the way other teams play Tests around the world, batsmen take time to score runs. See, England have a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new. Zakir Hasan further said, We don’t have a chance, we play two matches in a series and then we play after one, two or three months. So I think we have less chance than them (England) to implement it in international matches. But if you see the way cricket is being played overall, if we play cricket in that manner then it will be good for us.

Indoor test matches will now be played in Hobart, Cricket Australia wants to make major changes in the entire stadium
Australia wants to hold indoor Tests in Tasmania, so they have proposed an indoor cricket stadium in Hobart. Hobart Stadium (Pic Source-X) Australia wants to hold indoor tests in Tasmania, so they have proposed an indoor cricket stadium in Hobart. Actually, Tasmania’s football team ‘Tasmania Devils’ is entering the Australian Football League (AFL) from 2028 and for this, the Tasmanian government wants to build a 23000-seat multi-sports stadium, where football as well as cricket can be played. A transparent roof will also be installed here so that T20 matches can be played during the day and night and no player faces any kind of problem. If this happens, Hobart will be the first stadium in the world where indoor test cricket can also be played. Anne Beach, CEO of Macari Point Development Corporation, also said that their entire focus is on red ball cricket. Anne Beach, CEO of Mackie Point Development Corporation, told SEN Tassie, “We want Test cricket here and that is our entire focus. The challenge is that we have to constantly work with Cricket Australia and Cricket Tasmania based on the details and design given by the ICC. We will not get recognition until this stadium is built. We are constantly doing workshops with Cricket Australia to ensure that the stadium is being built as per the design. We have to have red ball cricket here.” The height of this stadium is a matter of concern: Alistair Richardson Alistair Richardson, CEO of Cox Architecture, said, ‘The biggest concern in the construction of a cricket stadium is the height of the stadium. This was also a concern in the construction of Melbourne’s indoor Marvel Stadium and there the ball could touch the roof. Therefore, we have resorted to Hawk-Eye and ball-tracking technology to estimate the maximum height of the ball. This is challenging as well as fun. We are happy to increase the height of the roof to 50 meters because till now there have been no examples of hitting a ball at a height of more than 50 meters.’ Former Australian player and Cricket Tasmania President David Boon said, ‘This is a great opportunity for Tasmania. We want to play cricket in this stadium. The design will also be finalized in the coming few months.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
