Vikram has said that Rohit may forget once whether to choose bowling or batting during the toss, but he never forgets his game plan. It is worth noting that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team was successful in reaching the finals of the World Test Championship 2023 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, but could not win the final. However, after this India won the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit. With this victory, India ended the drought of not winning the ICC trophy for 11 years. Vikram Rathore gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that recently Vikram Rathore said on the ‘Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli’ podcast – He (Rohit) may forget whether he has decided to bat or bowl at the time of the toss. He may forget his phone and iPad in the team bus, but he never forgets his game plan. He is very clever in this and is a very smart strategist. Vikram further said- He is a player’s captain. He is invested with the players. I have never seen a captain who is so invested in team meetings and strategies. He spends a lot of time on team strategy. He is a part of the bowlers’ meeting and the batsmen’s meeting. He (Rohit) sits with the batsmen and bowlers and tries to understand what they are thinking. He spends a lot of time with the team players. On the other hand, if we talk about Rohit, after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he had decided to say goodbye to T20 cricket. However, now he can be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh next month?

The Australian team captained by Greg Chappell defeated England by 45 runs at that time. Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley said that a Test match will be organized at the MCG on the 150th anniversary in March 2027, which will be a wonderful celebration of the longest format of cricket. We will eagerly wait to host England on that occasion. Boxing Day test matches will be played for the next seven years The MCG will not only host the match on the 150th anniversary but will also host Boxing Day Tests for the next seven years. Cricket Australia has revealed the venues for men’s international matches until 2030-31. The Test is played in the New Year at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). CA has also decided to continue this tradition. Hockley said that we are delighted to confirm the long-term hosting rights, which will provide certainty about the venues for some great cricket matches over the next seven years. We are confident that the best cricket will be played at the right time in the best venues across the country.

Why did Suryakumar Yadav take the risk of giving the 19th over to Rinku Singh? He revealed the master plan after the match
After that, 6 runs were needed in the last over. At that time, captain Suryakumar Yadav himself bowled. He gave only 5 runs and took two wickets. The match went into the super over.

Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to play in Border-Gavaskar, BCCI is preparing a special plan
The Indian selectors are considering picking left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the Test squad, although he has only played for India in the limited-overs format so far.

A source told the Times of India, “Arshdeep has performed impressively in white ball cricket for India. He may be asked to play some red ball matches starting with the Duleep Trophy from September 5 to increase his chances of selection for the Australia tour. There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.” The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.” Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year.
