Michael Clarke (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Michael Clarke has raised questions on Australia’s playing XI in the third and final ODI match played against Pakistan. Michael Clarke is quite surprised to see why Australia rested its star players in the third ODI against Pakistan. Let us tell you that in the third ODI match played between these two teams, Australia rested Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. His decision proved wrong and Pakistan defeated Australia in this match. Not only this, Pakistan has defeated Australia at home for the first time in 22 years. Speaking on Big Sports Breakfast, Michael Clarke said, ‘I am a bit surprised. Only 11 days are left for the first Test match against Team India to be played in Perth and the Australian team made a lot of changes in the playing XI of the third ODI against Pakistan. If Australia had won the first two matches, it would have been important to understand that the big players should be rested in the third match. But it was very important for Australia to win this series and I think they had nothing to do with it. Michael Clarke raised questions on team management Michael Clarke further said, ‘If you take it lightly then it is a very bad thing. Very few fans are coming to the stadium to watch ODI cricket and it is very important to tell them that this format is still great and they should come to the stadium in maximum numbers to watch the matches. Pakistan has won the three-match ODI series by 2-1. Now the three-match T20 series between these two teams is going to start from November 14 in Brisbane. Even though the hosts may not be able to win the ODI series, the team would definitely like to win the T20 series. Talking about the third ODI match, Australia, batting first, scored 140 runs after losing all the wickets. Pakistan achieved the target against Australia by losing two wickets.

“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant is the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.
There was no problem with the pitch but with the players…: Salman Butt gave his opinion on the performance of the Pakistan team after the first Test

(Photo Source: ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) After losing the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, the Pakistan team is being criticized a lot. Let us tell you, in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets. Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan for the first time in a Test match. Now former captain Salman Butt has also given his opinion on this defeat of the host. Let us tell you, in the Rawalpindi Test, Pakistan did not include its important spinner Abrar Ahmed in the playing XI and the team played this match with four fast bowlers. However, their plan did not succeed and Bangladesh’s spinners bowled brilliantly in this match and completely destroyed Pakistan’s batting lineup. Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood has raised questions about the pitch and said that the pitch did not prove to be important for the fast bowlers the way he thought. Now Salman Butt has put forth his point of view on this. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel and said, ‘Where do I start this? You came out to play with four fast bowlers and then you declared your innings. Not only this, you did not bowl with line and length and everything did not go in your favor. According to me, for the first time the average speed of Bangladesh bowlers was more than us. They looked fitter than us. The junior fast bowlers of our team performed better than the seniors. This team has made many mistakes and I don’t know where to start from? We have no idea who we should pick and who we should blame. There was no problem with the pitch: Salman Butt Salman Butt further said, ‘There was no problem with the pitch. The quality of our bowling was very poor. Our bowling coach said that we did not get much turn on the pitch. Not only this, the bowlers also criticized it. This does not make any sense especially when the Pakistan team was all out within two sessions. Their fast bowlers got wickets. Bangladesh’s fast bowlers got the top order out and the spinners played their role quite well in the middle. So it would not be right to blame any one of them. Let us tell you, for the first time Pakistan has lost a Test match at home by 10 wickets. However, the host will look to make a strong comeback in the second Test.

According to me, Kohli should be in place against South Africa…: Former player put forth his opinion on POTM award
For India, experienced batsman Virat Kohli batted brilliantly and played a match-winning inning of 76 runs in 59 balls with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was played between India and South Africa on 29 June in Barbados. India won this match by 7 runs. For India, experienced batsman Virat Kohli batted brilliantly and played a match-winning innings of 76 runs in 59 balls with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. He did not spare any South African bowler and attacked everyone fiercely. Not only this, due to his innings, the experienced batsman was also awarded the Player of the Match award. However, former player Sanjay Manjrekar believes that this award should have been given to a bowler instead of Virat Kohli. Let us tell you, at one point South Africa needed 30 runs in the last 5 overs to win. However, after this Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh bowled very well and did not let South Africa set the target. According to NDTV, Sanjay Manjrekar said, ‘Talking about that innings, Hardik Pandya was the most aggressive batsman who played two balls. I believe that the Indian team batted very well and due to Virat Kohli’s innings we reached a very good position. These people performed very well but the bowlers bowled very well.’ My Player of the Match award should have been given to a bowler: Sanjay Manjrekar The former player further said, ‘At one time India was in a position of defeat and South Africa had won 90% of the match. Virat Kohli batted very well and played an important innings for his team but the bowlers gave India the victory. They bowled brilliantly in the end and gave India the victory.’ Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team performed very well throughout the tournament and did not lose even a single match.

I think Virat Kohli and…. from the Indian team in T20 World Cup 2024: Wasim Jaffer put forth his opinion about the batting lineup
According to Wasim Jaffer, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open for the Indian team in the upcoming tournament. Wasim Jaffer (Photo Source : Twitter) The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is starting from June 2. The Indian team has also been announced for this important tournament. Not only this, the players of the Indian team have also started practicing for the upcoming tournament. All the players of the team are in very good form and they would definitely like to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. However, before the start of this important tournament, former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer has put forward his opinion about the team’s batting lineup. According to Wasim Jaffer, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open the Indian team in the upcoming tournament while Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should bat at number 3 and number four. According to him, Rohit Sharma plays spin very well and that is why he should play at his new batting position instead of opening. Wasim Jaffer wrote on his official social media account, ‘Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open in T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma plays spin very well and that is why he should bat at number three. Suryakumar Yadav will be the best option for number 4.’ Here is Wasim Jaffer’s tweet: Kohli & Jaiswal should open in the World Cup imo. Rohit & SKY should bat 3&4 depending on the start we get. Rohit plays spin really well so batting at 4 shouldn’t be a concern. #T20WorldCup #INDvPAK #INDvIRE pic.twitter.com/nMgwwaDNXb — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) May 29, 2024 Let us tell you, Virat Kohli opened the team for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2024 and won the Orange Cap. Virat Kohli’s performance as an opener has been very good in the IPL. Not only this, Virat Kohli has also opened in T20 cricket for the Indian team in international cricket. Talking about Rohit Sharma, he batted very well in IPL 2024 but he failed to score big consistently. At present, it can be said that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will be seen opening the team in the initial matches of the upcoming tournament. Now it will be very important to see what decision the team management takes regarding the batting lineup. 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?

IPL 2024: Kumar Sangakkara gives his opinion on Sanju Samson’s controversial dismissal against DC

But his amazing innings came to a sad end due to a controversial decision. On the fourth ball bowled by Mukesh Kumar in the 16th over of Rajasthan’s innings, Sanju plays a shot towards long on, but this shot is caught by Shay Hope who is fielding near the boundary line, but during this time it looks like this Hope’s foot has touched the boundary rope. The on-field umpire then gets it reviewed by the third umpire, but the third umpire also declares Sanju out. After this, Sanju Samson and the Rajasthan camp were seen getting very angry. Also, after Sanju’s dismissal, DC team owner Parth Jindal was also signaling Sanju from the dugout to leave the field. After a lot of scuffle on the field, Sanju finally walked back from the field.

It was difficult to take the decision by the third umpire. The match was at a crucial juncture. Same thing happens in cricket. We can look at it from our own perspective, but you know that in the end you have to accept the decision of the third umpire. Whatever difference of opinion we have, we will share it with the umpires and try to find a solution.
Special Opinion: Won the series 4-1 but still some questions troubled me, batsmen are getting defeated in front of spinners at home.
In recent times, Team India’s batsmen have been seen struggling against the spinners. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian team won the five-match Test series against England by 4-1. By winning this Test series, the Indian team strengthened its claim for the first place in the World Test Championship. After playing the World Test Championship final twice in a row, Team India has staked its claim to play the Test Championship final this time too. The Indian team may have won this series by 4-1, but in this Test series and the Test series played at home in the last few years, one shortcoming of the Indian team has been sharply exposed. Such a deficiency has been exposed in which the Indian team once had expertise. In the last few years, the Indian team has proved to be poor in playing spin. The Indian team is now facing problems in playing spin in India itself. Whereas earlier this was the mantra of victory for the Indian team. He used to prepare spin tracks against foreign teams and defeat them. Now it has happened that when foreign teams tour India, they trouble the Indian team by including two-three good spinners. After coming here, even their average bowlers become great bowlers. Whereas in the past, Indian teams have batted brilliantly on spin-friendly pitches in domestic and subcontinental conditions. However, at present the Indian team seems to be struggling completely in facing spin. The bowling of the Indian team has been excellent in India since the beginning. Now it has become stronger while there has been a decline in the art of playing spin in batting. The Indian team which once used to trouble the opponents with its spin bowling in the 70s. At the same time, in today’s time our batsmen get troubled. In the 70s, there was the famous quartet of Eerappalli Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, Venkat Raghavan and Bishan Singh Bedi, who used to dominate against foreign teams on Indian pitches. These people had created so much fear in the minds of the foreign batsmen that the teams touring India started practicing spin a month in advance, but still their quartet did not give the batsmen a chance to do anything special. After that, from 1980 to 2010, the Indian team had such batsmen who left their mark not only in India but also abroad. There were some batsmen who were adept at playing spin at home and were also adept at playing swing and pace if they toured abroad. During that time, many such great spinners also came to India, who left their mark in the whole world but bowed down before the Indian batsmen. Many such greats came from Shane Warne to Muttiah Muralitharan, but Indian batsmen faced those great spinners boldly and also showed the world the art of playing spin. What happened in the recent past that what was our strength has become our weakness. Indian players who have grown up playing on spin-friendly pitches are not able to face spin effectively today. Where the…
IND vs ENG: Akshar or Kuldeep, who should get a chance in the playing XI? Former veteran expressed his opinion
The first Test between India and England will be played from January 25. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian off-spinner and World Cup winner Harbhajan Singh has said that Team India will give first chance to Kuldeep Yadav as the third spinner to diversify India’s bowling attack in the upcoming Test series against England. However, meanwhile, the veteran spinner also explained why the team management could go with Akshar Patel before Kuldeep. India is set to play England in the much-awaited 5-Test series starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. R Ashwin, who is approaching 500 Test wickets, and Ravindra Jadeja are without a doubt the team’s first choice spinners. India has selected 4 spinners in its 16-member team. When England toured India for a 4-Test series in 2021, Axar Patel had a lot of success in his first series. The left-arm spinner took 27 wickets in his first 3 matches in Test cricket in that series. After being behind 1-0 in 2021, he played an important role in Team India winning the series 3-1. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav Harbhajan Singh was quoted by PTI as saying, “From my point of view, when bowlers like R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are present in the team, then the third spinner should be a specialist bowler like Kuldeep. He further said, “Kuldeep is a wrist spinner and his presence will provide variety to the team. I believe that Akshar is selected in the Test team because of his batting skills. He can contribute something to the team with the bat at number eight or nine.” Harbhajan, however, raised questions on ignoring Kuldeep and said, “Akshar is a better batsman but I do not understand why you need a batsman at number nine. That too of a player who is exactly like Jadeja.” He said, “By this you are reducing the diversity in bowling. According to me, Kuldeep should play in the team.” Also read: England team is secretly afraid of Rohit’s army.
“My opinion is different”, AB de Villiers does not want Virat Kohli to open in T20
Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after almost 14 months. Virat Kohli And AB de Villiers (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after about 14 months. He played a useful inning of 29 runs in the second T20 match against Afghanistan in Indore. However, amid discussions about him opening, he came to bat at number 3. Many veterans believe that Kohli should open the innings with Rohit. Now, South African veteran player AB de Villiers has advocated for Virat not to open. He believes that Virat Kohli has a good track record as an opening batsman in T-20 cricket, but still he would not want Kohli to open for India. He also said that Kohli is perfect for number-3 due to his ability to play the role of anchor and build partnerships with middle-order batsmen. ‘Virat batting at number 3 was the biggest threat for us’ Speaking in his YouTube video, de Villiers said, I have a different opinion. For most of my international career, when we played against India, Virat batting at No. 3 was the biggest threat to us. I always felt that he was the pivot of the team in the middle order. De Villiers further said, number-3 is not the middle order, but it is the top order. He is often associated with the middle order. Even with the tail batsmen. It is impossible to play against him. “I am concerned about that position,” he said. However, the figures are not bad. When Virat plays as an opening batsman, his average is 23 and strike rate is 138. When he does not face the first ball and is at the non-striker’s end, he averages 140 and has a strike rate of 173. read this also- Cricket Buzz: Know about the amazing tweet of January 17 which is going viral very fast
