“It is very easy to sit in an AC room and say that he did not perform well….”- GG’s reply to Hardik’s trollers.
Hardik Pandya’s performance in IPL 2024, both as a captain and a player, was quite ordinary. Before the start of the season, Mumbai franchise replaced Rohit Sharma and made Hardik Pandya the captain of the team. But the fans including some players of the team did not like his decision at all. After which Hardik Pandya has been criticized a lot throughout the season. Be it fans or cricket experts, everyone has trolled Hardik for his poor captaincy. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer and currently KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir has now come to the defense of Hardik Pandya. He has also fiercely targeted Hardik’s critics. Gautam Gambhir expressed confidence in Hardik Pandya’s abilities and backed him to make a significant impact in the 2024 T20 World Cup. During a conversation with Sportskeeda, Gautam Gambhir said, “T20 is a format where if you score 25 runs in 10 balls or take two wickets in a row, everything comes back. Also, there will be no captaincy pressure on Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup. Therefore, there he will play with complete freedom. It is very easy to sit in an AC room and say that he has not performed well.” Gambhir also believes that even if Hardik had scored 500 runs in IPL 2024, he would have faced criticism. They said that, “There are many factors that go into a player’s good performance. There is pressure of captaincy and team performance. Even if he had scored 500 runs, he would have been criticized for MI’s position in the points table. Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai was the first team to be eliminated from the race for the IPL 2024 playoffs. Hardik has also had to face criticism for his poor form. The star all-rounder has scored only 200 runs in 12 innings and has taken 11 wickets in the same innings at an economy rate of 10.58.

IND vs ENG: I would like to tell England that they should understand the situation and perform well in the fourth test: Nasser Hussain
So far, three matches have been played between the two teams in the five-match Test series in which India is leading 2-1. Jimmy Anderson And Nasser Hussain (Photo Source: Twitter) Currently a 5 match test series is being played between India and England. Now the fourth test between these two teams will start from February 23 in Ranchi. So far, three matches have been played between the two teams in the five-match Test series in which India is leading 2-1. Both the teams would definitely like to win the fourth Test to be held in Ranchi. Before the fourth test, former English captain Nasir Hussain has given a big advice to the England team. According to Nasir Hussain, in Test cricket it is important to play cricket considering the conditions, especially in India where the nature of the pitch changes overnight. Let us tell you, England had won the first Test played in Hyderabad. However, the Indian team won the second and third tests. India won the third Test played in Rajkot by 434 runs. The England team has performed very poorly in the last two Tests. However, the team would definitely like to win the fourth test. It is very important for England to make a comeback in this test series: Nasser Hussain Nasir Hussain wrote in his Daily Mail column that, ‘You cannot play Test cricket with the same mentality in which you are already playing. The meaning of Test cricket is that you bat and bowl depending on the situation. Especially in India where the nature of the pitch changes overnight. You can see in the first three tests. England won the first test because of Ollie Pope’s 196 runs. However, due to consecutive double centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal and 131 runs of Rohit Sharma, India registered consecutive victories. Although England has made a comeback in the series before also. After the Lord’s Ashes match, we saw that England played very good cricket and made a comeback in the series. Regarding Jonny Bairstow, Nasir Hussain wrote, ‘Jonny Bairstow is a very good batsman. He needs to play the first 20-30 balls well. It is very difficult to hit a sweep against Jadeja. However, I am confident that the experienced batsman will bat well in the remaining two Tests. These batsmen have scored the most runs against Dhoni’s team CSK in IPL. 5 players who scored 10,000 T20 runs in the fewest innings 5 players who scored 10,000 T20 runs in the fewest innings 3 Indian players who have scored most centuries in India IPL 2024: These 3 players will be the wicketkeepers of Delhi Capitals in place of Rishabh Pant 5 players who have scored the most runs in PSL IND vs ENG, 4th Test: Rohit Sharma will throw these 5 players out of playing 11 3 biggest wins recorded by India in terms of runs in Test cricket These 5 bowlers have sent Virat Kohli to the pavilion for a golden duck in IPL.

WPL 2024: UP Warriors would like Vrinda Dinesh to perform well at the top: Saba Karim
Women’s Premier League 2024 will start from 23 February and its final match will be played on 17 March. Vrinda Dinesh (Image Credit- Twitter The Women’s Premier League 2024 is going to start very soon and many people are eagerly waiting for this great tournament. Let us tell you, Women’s Premier League 2024 will start from 23rd February and its final match will be played on 17th March. Women’s Premier League franchise UP Warriors included Vrinda Dinesh in their team for Rs 1.3 crore in the WPL 2024 auction. Vrinda Dinesh is a young opening batsman who can play aggressive cricket against any team and score important runs for her team by coming in the top order. Not only this, UP franchise has bought English all-rounder Daniel Watt for Rs 30 lakh. GeoCinema and Sports18 sports experts Abhinav Mukund, Reema Malhotra and Saba Karim analyze the UP Warriors team. Reema Malhotra: If seen from the previous edition, the UP team has strengthened its batting even more this season. Shweta Sehrawat could not perform very well in 2023. Lakshmi Yadav had to go out due to injury while Kiran Navgire also failed to score runs consistently. However, the bowling lineup of the team seems quite weak. The team has quality spinners but they do not have good medium pace fast bowlers. I see Vrinda Dinesh in the playing XI: Saba Karim Saba Karim: I see Vrinda Dinesh in UP’s playing XI. She can be seen opening with Alyssa Healy. Last season he had tried with Shweta Sehrawat but their performance was not so good. Vrinda Dinesh is a better batsman than him and the UP team will be expecting good performance from him. Abhinav Mukund: Last year the team had spent a lot of money on all-rounders and this time they have focused more on the batsmen. Danielle Watt has come into the team and it is a great thing. Vrinda Dinesh, Poonam Khemnar and Gauhar Sultana have all joined the team. The team does not have many Indian batsmen as they had released some. If Vrinda Dinesh remains fit then it is very important to feed her at the top. Shweta Sherawat’s performance was not so good and that is why a good backup is always needed at the top. 5 teams that have won the Under 19 World Cup the most number of times 3 Australian players who have won POTM awards the most number of times in T20I 5 players who made the biggest scores in ODI cricket for Sri Lanka Five best innings played by Indian captains in Under-19 World Cup 4 Indian bowlers who became number 1 bowler in test cricket List of batsmen who remained not out most number of times in IPL Top 4 Indian bowlers who took 150 wickets in least number of test matches List of foreign players earning big from IPL 2024 5 bowlers who have dismissed Joe Root the most number of times in Test cricket Fast bowlers who have taken more than 150 wickets for India in Test…

After consecutive poor Test series in West Indies and South Africa, the 24-year-old scored 23 and 0 in the first Test against England The focus on Gill increased because India suffered a crushing 28-run defeat and the team is now trailing 0-1 in the five-match series.

I am not at all worried about Shubman Gill’s performance – Kevin Pietersen Pietersen said, “I don’t think you can drop someone from the team by playing one Test match. He will definitely play in Vizag and let’s see how he prepares for the next Test. Don’t sideline Shubman Gill and don’t say that he can’t play. He can play. When you talk about emotions, he gives me a feeling of immense happiness and joy when he comes out to bat. I want to see him bat.” Kevin Pietersen admitted that Shubman Gill’s Test figures are much lower than those of a batsman of his calibre, yet he remains confident in his ability. Peterson said, “The averages are not looking good and it is not good to see these figures. You don’t want to see them. But there is a reason why he is batting at number 3, it is because of the kind of player he is and what he can do. So I am not too worried about getting out twice. I am worried about his performance in the second and third Test.”

It’s very difficult to do, but once you get into that mindset, you find yourself becoming a better player. Crawley further said – Baez (Brendon McCullum) is very big in mindset. He always talks about how the way we play in the match is more important. Because this will bring results in the match. He always looks for the right time to express his views.
