What is Varun Aaron’s problem with Virat Kohli? The former player gave another shocking statement
According to Varun Aaron, the veteran batsman has always silenced all his critics whenever questions have been raised on him.

During a conversation on Star Sports, Varun Aaron said, ‘Whenever questions have been raised on Virat’s performance, he has responded in a tremendous way. If you look at the IPL, a lot of questions were raised on his strike rate. After that, Virat Kohli made a great comeback and silenced all the critics. I don’t think anyone will talk about his strike rate. Even now, Virat Kohli remains quiet in the first two or three matches. This definitely happens with batsmen in such wickets. But people should understand that Virat can start scoring runs very fast. Virat Kohli will be very disappointed with his performance in the last three matches but now the matches are to be played in the West Indies and on such wickets, he will be a different kind of batsman. Kohli’s record in West Indies has always been very good: Varun Aaron Varun Aaron further said, ‘You tell me in which country Virat’s average has been bad. Wherever he has gone, he has scored runs and played an important role in helping his team win many matches. The best thing about Virat is that he does not play the same game everywhere. He understands the situation and then bats brilliantly. This is the sign of a good batsman. 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?

This Bangladesh player was caught cheating live in T20 World Cup 2024, the video spread like wildfire
BAN vs NEP: Non-striker Zakir Ali was caught on video looking and pointing towards the Bangladesh dressing room. BAN vs NEP (Pic Source X) In the 37th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Bangladesh performed strongly and defeated Nepal by 21 runs. With this victory, they have reached the Super 8 of the 2024 T20 World Cup. In this match on Monday, Bangladesh batted first and set a target of 107 runs. In response, Nepal could score only 85 runs. The non-striker cheated by deceiving the umpire Bangladesh had a bad start after losing the toss and batting first. In this match, no batsman of Bangladesh could score more than 20 runs. Liton Das scored 10, Shakib Al Hasan 17, Tauhadi Hridaya 9, Mahmudullah 13, Zakir Ali 12, Tanjim Hasan Shakib 3, Rishad Hussain 13, Mustafizur Rahman 3 and Taskin Ahmed scored an unbeaten 12 runs. But in the 14th over of Bangladesh’s innings, an incident happened that created controversy. Sandeep Lamichhane bowled the ball on Tanjim Hasan’s pads and the umpire gave him out LBW. As he started walking to the pavilion, a video camera captured non-striker Zakir Ali looking and gesturing towards the Bangladesh dressing room. Zakir, after checking in the dressing room, suggested Tanjim to take DRS before the timer went off. The replay showed that the ball was missing the leg stump and he was not out. However, Tanjim was caught in Sandeep’s googly on the very next ball and was out. Watch video is this allowed @icc, Non striker asked for assistance from the dressing room whether to take the DRS or not.pic.twitter.com/7aJnl2YDMn — 𝐊𝐨𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭!𝟎𝐧_👑🚩 (@bholination) June 17, 2024 Is it legal to do this? As per Article 3.2.3, umpires may reject a DRS decision if they believe the players have received input from outside the field, particularly from the dressing room. Article 2.15 of the ICC’s Code of Conduct also prohibits players from seeking off-field assistance to make a decision on a review, with potential penalties including suspension. Although the umpires did not object to the review during the match, Ali and Tanjim could be charged with a Level 3 offence if found guilty of the alleged breach.
“He should not play T20 cricket anymore…”- Former Indian player scolded Babar Azam
In the T20 World Cup 2024, captain Babar Azam has scored only 122 runs in four matches for the team. Babar Azam and Kris Srikkanth (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The T20 World Cup 2024 has been nothing less than a nightmare for Pakistan. In the first two matches, the team had to face embarrassing defeats against the USA and India. Then in the match against Canada, the team kept the hopes of Super-8 alive by registering its first win. But the team suffered a major setback when the match between the USA and Ireland was cancelled due to rain. The runner-up of the last edition was out of the Super-8 race even before playing the last match of the group stage round. Pakistan will have to play a qualifier tournament to participate in the next T20 World Cup. Babar Azam has been everyone’s target ever since Pakistan was eliminated from the T20 World Cup. Be it captaincy or personal performance, fans and veteran players are trolling Babar fiercely. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player K. Srikkanth has given a big statement about Babar. Srikkanth says that Babar Azam should not play T20 cricket anymore. He has also raised questions about the strike rate. Babar Azam’s strike rate is only 112-115- K Srikkanth Cricket expert K. Srikkanth, while talking about Babar Azam during Cricket Live on Star Sports before the Pakistan vs Ireland match, said, ,I don’t think Babar should play T20 cricket. I mean you can’t do this tuk-tuk all the time in T20 cricket. They say Babar scored 4,000 runs like Virat or Rohit, but his strike rate is only 112-115. Former India batter Kris Srikkanth says Babar Azam should retire from T20 cricket. Agree? No? pic.twitter.com/AO9yvMneHX — Nibraz Ramzan (@nibraz88cricket) June 17, 2024 Pakistan somehow managed to win by 3 wickets while chasing 107 runs in the last match of the group stage against Ireland. The team had lost 7 wickets at a score of 95. Babar Azam then led the team to victory by playing an unbeaten innings of 32 runs in 34 balls at a strike rate of 94.12.

For the first time in the history of T20 World Cup, a player got ‘retired out’, his own team stabbed him in the back
Nikolaas Davin created history by retiring out: In the 34th match of the rain-affected T20 World Cup, England defeated Namibia by 41 runs. After winning this match, England got 5 points. After this, Australia defeated Stotland and the England team entered the Super-8 round. The England-Namibia match was reduced to 10-10 overs due to rain. In this match, Namibia’s star batsman Nicholas Devine created history in the World Cup by retiring out. Nikolaas Davin became the first batsman to ‘retire out’ Namibia, which came out to chase a big target in 10 overs, got a good start from Michael Lingen. On the other hand, Nicholas Devin struggled to score runs. Seeing his slow batting, he was retired out by his own team. Nicholas Devin retired in the sixth over after scoring 18 runs in 16 balls. In his place, David Wiese came to bat and he batted very fast. For the first time in the history of T20 World Cup, a player has been ‘retired out’. What is the retire out rule? According to MCC rule 25.4.3, if a batsman leaves the field for any reason other than 25.4.2 (illness, injury or any other unavoidable cause), the player may only return to bat if the opposing captain gives permission. If for any reason a batsman is unable to resume his innings, the batsman is considered ‘retired out’. On the other hand, when a player is declared retired by the umpire, he can return to bat without the consent of the opposition captain. Ashwin had also retired out Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants faced each other in a match of IPL 2022. In this match, Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin made a half-century partnership. But for the sake of the team, Ashwin “retired out” on 28 runs in the 19th over. Since he lacked aggressive hitting like Riyan Parag, Ashwin retired and came back. Which gave Riyan Parag a chance to come to bat.

“What will someone who has never received respect give to others…”- Former Bangladeshi player reprimanded Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag didn’t get any recognition in his career. So maybe he doesn’t know anything about respecting others or giving them respect- Imrul Kayes Imrul Kayes and Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan failed to perform well with the ball and bat in the opening matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.
