While posting, he wrote, ‘Sorry – the news going on about the death of the female contractor is wrong. He is completely fine. May God bless him. Apologies – the news floating around the demise of Nari Contractor is incorrect. He is fine. God bless 🙏 pic.twitter.com/zGqWjim9SL — Ravi Shastri (@RaviShastriOfc) November 2, 2024 Let us tell you that the female contractor was born in Godhra, Gujarat. He made his international debut in 1955. He came into the public eye due to his brilliant inning of 92 runs played against West Indies in the 1958/59 series. His commitment to the game was seen during the Lord’s Test, in which Contractor suffered a broken rib, yet he played a strong innings of 81 runs. Career ended due to head injury In 1962, during the India vs West Indies series, he was hit on the head by a sharp bouncer and his head was fractured. After this the contractor’s career was over. The head injury was so severe that the contractor remained unconscious for six days. He returned to domestic cricket about a few years after that unfortunate incident, but as far as international cricket was concerned, he was never able to reach the level he wanted to. Contractor scored 1611 runs in 31 Test matches in his seven-year international career. During this period he scored one century and 11 half-centuries. Apart from this, Contractor has 8611 runs in his name in 138 first class matches at an average of 39.86, in which he scored a total of 22 centuries.

Till the end of the first day’s play, brilliant batsman Shubman Gill is batting on 31* runs while Rishabh Pant is playing on 1* runs. Virat Kohli (Pic Source-X) The third Test between Team India and New Zealand has started at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The first day of the game is over and Team India has scored 86 runs after losing four wickets in its first innings. Earlier, New Zealand had scored 235 runs in its first innings after losing all the wickets. Let us tell you that from the Indian team, experienced batsman Virat Kohli once again failed to make a big score and returned back to the pavilion after scoring four runs. Virat Kohli took a bad decision due to which he got run out. Actually, Virat Kohli played the ball of Rachin Ravindra comfortably and he ran to score runs. Kiwi team’s best fast bowler Matt Henry caught the ball very well and ran out Virat Kohli. Former player Ravi Shastri looked very disappointed with this decision of Virat Kohli and while commenting, he reprimanded the Indian batsman. While commenting, Ravi Shastri said, ‘He spoiled his wicket. Can’t understand what’s going on in Virat Kohli’s mind. The second day of the game will be very important for both the teams. Let us tell you that apart from Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma once again failed to score big and returned to the pavilion after scoring 18 runs. His performance has been very poor in this test series. The best opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal got the start but he too was out after scoring 30 runs. Till the end of the first day’s play, brilliant batsman Shubman Gill is batting on 31* runs while Rishabh Pant is playing on 1* runs. Team India is still behind by 149 runs. For New Zealand so far, Ajaz Patel has taken two wickets while Matt Henry has taken one wicket. The second day of the game will be very important for both the teams.

Dinesh Karthik & MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Team India wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik recently chose his favorite all-time India playing XI. Karthik chose five current cricketers in the team but he did not include former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Cricket fans were shocked to keep the legendary wicketkeeper batsman Dhoni out of the all-time playing XI and Karthik was also severely criticized for this. However, 39-year-old Karthik has now corrected his mistake and apologized to the fans for not selecting Dhoni. He said that it was a big mistake to do so. Along with this, he has also made a claim about Dhoni. Karthik admitted his mistake while answering users’ questions on Cricbuzz. Dinesh Karthik apologized to the fans regarding MS Dhoni The wicketkeeper batsman said, “Bhai log, I made a big mistake. It was really a mistake. I realized it after the video came out. When I selected this XI, many things were happening. I really forgot the wicketkeeper (Dhoni). Fortunately Rahul Dravid was part of the XI so everyone thought that I have kept a part-time wicketkeeper. But I really did not think of Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper.” He said that Dhoni is definitely part of the XI and the captaincy will also remain with him. Karthik said, “Can you believe it? Being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to add wicketkeeper. This is a big mistake. Such a big mistake should not have happened. This is very clear to me. Thala Dhoni is completely fit for any format.” Karthik claimed, “I believe that Dhoni is not only India’s but he is one of the greatest cricketers ever to play this game. I really believe so.” He further said, “If I make the team again, I will definitely make one change. Thala Dhoni will be at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team. There is no doubt about it.”
SL vs IND: India made these two big mistakes in the first ODI, if the same mistake happens again in the next match then it may have to lose the series
The second ODI match between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 4. SL vs IND (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and India (SL vs IND) ended in a tie. The hosts batted first and scored 230 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. In response, Team India was all out for 230 runs in 47.5 overs while chasing the target. Charith Aslanka saved the match from going into India’s bag by dismissing Shivam Dubey and Arshdeep Singh in the 48th over. This match was nothing less than a nightmare for Rohit Sharma and company, as the team could not register a win despite being in control in both the innings. Let us tell you about the two mistakes due to which India had to face defeat, and also tell you about a masterstroke that the team did right during the first ODI. SL vs IND: Masterstroke – Rohit Sharma’s batting in the powerplay Indian captain Rohit Sharma was once again seen giving the team a stormy start. Rohit played his shots beautifully against both pace and spinner bowlers in the powerplay. Shubman Gill, batting from the other end, did not look anything special. There was a partnership of 75 runs between the two for the first wicket. Shubman Gill scored 16 runs in 35 balls, while Rohit Sharma played an innings of 58 runs in 47 balls with the help of 7 fours and 3 sixes. SL vs IND: India made these two mistakes during the first ODI match- 1. Shivam Dubey gave more strike to Mohammad Siraj When Mohammed Siraj came to bat, India needed 20 runs to win, and more than five overs were left. Shivam Dubey was completely set and it seemed that the team could easily win this game. Dubey and Siraj played 19 balls in their partnership, out of these balls, Siraj played 11 balls. Shivam Dubey is a good player of spin, he could have made things easier for the team by coming forward and playing more balls in this partnership, but he did not do anything like that. 2. Arshdeep Singh’s wrong shot When Arshdeep Singh came to bat, the team needed 1 run to win and had one wicket in hand. Arshdeep tried to play a slog-sweep shot, which was not the right shot against an off-spinner. Arshdeep could have easily taken a run by hitting the ball on any side of the ground, but he did not show his understanding and India had to face defeat.
England is selecting players who… Michael Vaughan points out a big mistake before Ashes 2025
The former England captain said that the selectors should have chosen Jack Leach instead of Shoaib Bashir. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”
T20 World Cup 2024: The pitch of the first semi-final held in Trinidad was not good, the chief curator admitted the mistake
Afghanistan were all out for just 56 runs against South Africa in the first semi-final match Brian Lara Stadium Tarouba, Trinidad (Image Credit- Twitter X) The recently held ICC T20 World Cup 2024 ended with the victory of the Indian cricket team. Team India won the T20 World Cup trophy for the second time after 2007. Along with some great matches in the tournament, excellent performances were also seen from the teams. Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan performed similarly in the last T20 World Cup season. However, the first semi-final match was a forgettable one for the Afghan team that reached the semi-finals after defeating big teams. Batting first in this match played against South Africa in Trinidad, West Indies, Afghanistan was all out for just 56 runs. They had to face defeat by 9 wickets in the match, and their dream of winning the T20 World Cup was shattered. After this match, there was a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the quality of the pitch. So now a big statement has come from the chief curator regarding the pitch of Brian Lara Stadium in Taoroba, Trinidad. The curator says that the pitch was not according to the set standards, and has accepted his mistake. There was no quality pitch for the semi-final match Let us tell you that the chief curator of the West Indies leg, Kent Crofton, was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – The intention was to make a good pitch for the match, which would have something for the bowlers, but the pitch for the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup turned out to be one-sided. The preparation program for the pitch did not go as planned. Due to this, the pitch became a cracked pitch, in which speed, bounce and very uneven bounce were created. On this issue, former England cricketer Stephen Finn said- This was really a bad pitch. The pitch was bad, due to which there was no special performance for the T20 match. This pitch was fine for the 5th day of Test cricket, but not good for T20 cricket.
India could have easily won this match but due to this one mistake Zimbabwe won the first T20
In this match, Zimbabwe defeated India by 13 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20 series. Zimbabwe Team (Pic Source-X) Today, on 6th July, the first T20 match was played between India and Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club in Harare. In this match, Zimbabwe defeated India by 13 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the 5 match T20 series. All the players from the Indian team performed very poorly in this match. Let us tell you, batting first, host Zimbabwe scored 115 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets. Wicketkeeper batsman Clive Madande played a brilliant innings of 29* runs with the help of four fours in 25 balls. He was the highest run scorer for his team. Apart from Clive, Dion Myers scored 23 runs while Brian Bennett contributed 22 runs. Captain Sikandar Raza scored 17 runs. Ravi Bishnoi bowled very well for India and took four wickets for 13 runs in 4 overs. Zimbabwe’s batsmen were helpless in front of Ravi Bishnoi. Apart from Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar took two wickets for 11 runs in four overs while Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan took one wicket each. The bowlers of the Indian team did their job well in this match. Know what was the turning point of the India vs Zimbabwe match? The most disappointing thing about the Indian team chasing the target was that their wickets kept falling at regular intervals. In this match, captain Sikandar Raza and Tendai Chatara took 3-3 wickets from the host side. The biggest problem for India was that none of their players could score big. Captain Sikandar Raza’s bowling spell was the turning point of this match. He took the wicket of Indian captain Shubman Gill at a crucial time, who scored the highest 31 runs for his team. Not only this, Sikandar Raza also dismissed Ravi Bishnoi and Mukesh Kumar in this match. Apart from Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar scored 27 runs for the Indian team while Avesh Khan played an innings of 16 runs. Apart from these three players, no other batsman could cross the 10-run mark. 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?
