Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan created history, the team won the ODI series on Australian soil after 22 years. Pakistan had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the first match of the series. Then after Pakistan won by 9 wickets in the second ODI, the series was tied at 1-1. The third ODI was played in Perth on 10 November. Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were released from the squad in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.
‘Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir’, former Pakistani cricketer raised questions on the Indian head coach.
Recently India lost the test series against New Zealand by 0-3. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) After Rahul Dravid stepped down from the post, Gautam Gambhir has become the head of the Indian team and under his leadership, Team India has suffered two major historic defeats. Recently, India lost the Test series against New Zealand 0-3, after which many questions have been raised regarding Gambhir’s coaching. However, Rohit Sharma has defended him. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has called Rahul Dravid a better coach than Gautam Gambhir. Basit said that Rahul Dravid was a smart coach who knew what kind of pitch India needed to prepare to win on home soil. In the video shared on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said that Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir. Dravid made pitches for four days where the ball took turn in the last few days. Now you are making such pitches, where even a person who is not a regular spinner is getting a lot from the first day. Dravid knew the psychology of players – Basit Ali Basit Ali also said that Rahul Dravid was a good coach. He knew the psychology of the players. If you ask Virat Kohli to play T10 and T20 in Test cricket, then it is not fair in any way. Let us tell you that Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has had a disappointing start. Under his leadership, the Indian team lost its bilateral series against Sri Lanka in 27 years. After the New Zealand series, Team India will now tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series in November. India needs to win this series 4-0 to make it to the World Test Championship final.
IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.
Rameez Raja raised questions on Multan Test pitch, said “Why should we play on home ground and play…”

(Photo by ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) The first Test match between Pakistan and England proved to be a great run-scoring affair, where runs were seen pouring from every direction. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first and scored a huge score of 556 runs on the flat pitch of Multan. But England took a step forward and made the Pakistani bowlers work hard on the basis of brilliant innings by Joe Root and Harry Brook. Root scored 262 runs, while Brook played a mammoth inning of 317 runs. England declared their innings at 823 runs on the fourth day, taking the total to more than 1500 runs in the first 10 sessions of the match. Amidst this thrilling game, former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja looked extremely unhappy with the quality of the pitch. He said that the bowlers did not get any help on this pitch and raised questions on the preparation of the pitch. Rameez Raja again angry about the pitch Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack- “I am sure the bowlers will question the quality of this pitch because they bowled with full force, but nothing happened. You start questioning why such pitches were prepared and why we are playing on such pitches at home.” We had demanded a good cricket pitch: Shan Masood It is worth noting that, when Pakistan had earlier lost the series against Bangladesh 2–0, the criticism was at its peak. There was pressure on the team to perform well against England. During the toss in Multan, Pakistan captain Shan Masood admitted that he had asked for a flat pitch against England. Masood said during the toss, “We had asked for a good cricket wicket. There are good batsmen in both the teams. We were in a position to win but could not win the match from there, which has created some resentment among the team and the cricket fraternity. We want to get back to winning ways and hopefully these players can do that.”
Viral Video: “Who do you want as captain in World Cup 2027?” Fans loudly raised slogans in the name of Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma had attended an event, where fans demanded him to captain the ODI World Cup 2027. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Cricket fans can never forget the day of November 19, 2023 in their life. In the ODI World Cup, Team India reached the finals by winning 10 consecutive matches, but they had to face defeat against Australia by 6 wickets. When Rohit Sharma and company left to play T20 World Cup 2024, the fans’ wish was that the unfulfilled dream of October 19 should be fulfilled in Barbados, which the Indian team did. On June 29, 2024, India defeated South Africa in the final and captured the ICC title after a long wait of 11 years. After the victory of Team India, fans say on social media that “For every November 19, there is a June 29″ (Every 19th November is replaced by 29th June) However, there is still a huge void in the hearts of the fans and the Indian team that is yet to be filled. It seems this can only be accomplished by winning the 50-over World Cup. Recently, Rohit Sharma attended an event, where fans demanded him to captain the ODI World Cup 2027. Fans started shouting Rohit Sharma’s name together During the event, a member of the Mumbai Cricket Association said, “Aani, aakhya bharatkanna vittitha Rohit bhau na ithe karto. Humko aur ek World Cup chahiye (I humbly request Rohit bhai on behalf of all citizens of India. We want another World Cup).” The person then asked the fans present there, “When is the World Cup coming to Astana, is Ahmala captain Konala Bagayacha? Konala Bagayacha (And that World Cup (2027 edition) for India, who do we all want to be the captain?)?”, the crowd then shouted Rohit Sharma’s name in unison. Public Demand!!! Rohit Sharma should lead India in 2027 worldcup ❤️🌸 pic.twitter.com/Zbruf8TNnp — Ctrl C Ctrl Memes (@Ctrlmemes_) October 3, 2024 The man further said, “Hayencha saghyanchi ichchha aahe ki tumhi ajun ek world cup aapla deshsaathi gheeun yawa, yevdach itka mi sangto aani thamato. Thank you (The fans present here have a great desire that you win another World Cup for the country, that’s all I have to say and I will stop here now. Thank you!)!” Indian Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma expressed his gratitude to the fans and said thanks.
IND vs BAN: Sanjay Manjrekar raised questions on Rohit Sharma’s bowling decision with an interesting statement
In the Kanpur Test match against Bangladesh, Rohit has won the toss and decided to bowl. Sanjay Manjrekar and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. So in this match, captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl after winning the toss was heavily criticized in the cricket world. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar has asked some questions through social media regarding Rohit’s decision to bowl after winning the toss. Manjrekar says that he doesn’t know why Rohit did not use Ravindra Jadeja against left-handed batsmen. Sanjay Manjrekar asked Rohit Sharma this question Let us tell you that Sanjay Manjrekar wrote in a post from his official X account – Rohit will have to show these figures. Jadeja vs Cook 2016 series, got him out 6 times in 8 innings, giving just 75 runs. When there is a left-handed batsman, Rohit does not make Jadeja bowl quickly. See this post of Sanjay Manjrekar So, in the post match presentation with ESPN Cricinfo after the stumps of the second day of the Kanpur Test match, Manjrekar said – Every captain has a vision keeping in mind the bowlers he has. There is nothing wrong in this, because captains trust some bowlers more. I have noticed, especially not in this series, when it comes to spin, Rohit likes Ashwin a bit more. On the other hand, if we give information about the ongoing second Test match at Green Park Stadium, today on 28th September, due to rain, the second day’s play could not even start. At stumps on the first day, after 35 overs, Bangladesh have scored 107 runs in the first innings.
Michael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England
Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”

But, I want to play all three formats right now. So, when I got an offer from Tripura, I decided to accept it.
“Where is Avesh Khan after all….”- Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra raised questions on Indian management
The team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that?- Aakash Chopra Avesh Khan and Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian young fast bowler Avesh Khan got a place in the team in the Zimbabwe tour, he also took 6 wickets in three T20 matches. But then he did not get a place in the squad for both the white-ball series of the Sri Lanka tour. Meanwhile, former Indian player Aakash Chopra is venting his anger on the Indian management. Chopra says that if BCCI wants to invest in Avesh Khan, then they will have to give him opportunities. Avesh should have been on the Sri Lanka tour- Aakash Chopra Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, said, This is a good question because the team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that? If we want to invest in him then Avesh Khan should have been there. He should have been there on the Sri Lanka tour and should have played matches in Zimbabwe as well, where was he – nowhere to be seen. Prasidh Krishna has the potential to become a good bowler- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra has expressed his desire to see fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the T20 format. He also stressed that even though Prasidh Krishna is an expensive bowler, he has the potential to become a great bowler in the T20 format. Let us tell you that Prasidh Krishna was part of the Indian squad in the ODI World Cup 2023. After the tournament, he played a few more matches for India. But he got injured while playing for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. No information has been revealed about when Prasidh Krishna will be able to return. I personally rate Prasidh Krishna very highly, although his stats in T20s are not very good. He has taken a beating whenever he has played, but I would like to invest. He has the potential to become a very good bowler even at the highest level. So they should start investing in him right now and have a clear roadmap for Avesh Khan as well.
