DTVHINDI“I am also a big reason” – Ashwin blamed himself for the defeat in NZ series
Ashwin (Source X) A few days ago, India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at their own home. Now R Ashwin has given a big statement regarding this defeat and he has also considered himself guilty for this defeat. Although most of the players do not take responsibility for the defeat in such matches, but R Ashwin is one of them, who believes that he was also a major reason behind Team India’s defeat. This was the first time that the Indian team had to face a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. After 12 years, the Indian team lost the Test series at home. R Ashwin could not perform well with ball and bat in all three matches of this series. His performance in just three matches was not of the standard for which he is known. R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding the defeat in NZ series Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel about the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand, “In my career and in my experience in cricket, we have not had a very shattering experience, that is the right word, I felt bad – I didn’t know how to react to this for the last 2-3 days. I am also a big reason, could not contribute lower-order runs, lost wickets at the wrong time.” Ashwin was seen struggling to take wickets in this series. He could take a total of 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. This is rarely seen because Ashwin’s record on Indian pitches has been excellent and he easily takes 9-10 wickets in a match. R Ashwin scored 51 runs as a batsman in 6 innings of the 3-match Test series, in which he did not even open his account in one innings. At the same time, as a bowler he could take only 9 wickets. In the first match, he got only one wicket, whereas in the second match, he was able to take 5 wickets in both the innings. At the same time, even on a rank turner in Mumbai, he could take only 3 wickets. He could not take even a single wicket in the first innings.

(Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has been struggling with poor form for some time. Due to this poor form, he was rested from the two Test matches against England. He played in the first test match, but could not do anything special with the bat. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has advised Babar Azam to follow the footsteps of Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Pakistan had to face defeat against England in the first Test match of the home Test series. After this, the host team won both the matches and won the series 2-1. Like Babar, Virat Kohli was also struggling with form in 2022, but 2023 was a great season for him. That’s why Ricky Ponting feels that Kohli can help Babar regain his form to some extent. Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 test innings. He said in the ICC review, the biggest challenge is how they bring Babar back into their team. They have to find a way to get Babar back into form and back into their (Test) team. Maybe Babar needs to step away for a while and stop even trying. Close the kit bag for a while and think about something else. Then hopefully he will come back refreshed. He further said that, you know, when you look at Babar’s statistics, it is somewhat similar to what we were talking about earlier for Virat Kohli. Virat took a break from the game for some time and returned refreshed. Babar also needs the same thing. Hopefully, we will again see Babar like before in his career. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 Test innings. Babar’s average in the last 9 Tests since the start of the 2023 season has been 20.70, which is very disappointing.

He said that India is looking for players who are medium pacer all-rounders because if Hardik Pandya gets injured, his replacement is not available. Parthiv Patel himself said this about new players getting a chance in the team. Recently, during a discussion on Colors Cineplex, Parthiv Patel was asked what his expectations were from India’s South Africa tour, to which he replied, India has started taking steps towards change. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired as soon as the T20 World Cup ended. Ravindra Jadeja also retired. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy. This is permanent captaincy, it is not to fill the vacant place, because earlier Rohit Sharma used to come back and captain. Parthiv Patel further said, You will keep seeing new faces in the team. Nitish Kumar Reddy is not in the team since going on Australian tour. You talked about Ramandeep Singh. India is looking towards utility players who are medium pace all-rounders because we have seen many times that if Hardik Pandya gets injured, we do not get a replacement for him. India’s squad for T20 series against South Africa- Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vaishak, Avesh Khan. , Yash Dayal

Here is Sachin Tendulkar’s post Tendulkar tweeted from the Was it a lack of preparation, was it poor shot selection, or was it a lack of match practice? Shubman Gill showed resilience in the first innings and Rishabh Pant was brilliant in both innings – his footwork made complete difference to a challenging surface. That was fantastic. Full credit goes to New Zealand for their consistently good performance throughout the series. Winning 3-0 in India is as good a result as you can get.

‘He was number 1 in our list’, Venky Mysore explains the reason for Shreyas Iyer’s release
KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Venky Mysore and Shreyas Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders have released their captain Shreyas Iyer ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Iyer joined KKR in 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and was made the captain. It was under his captaincy that Kolkata won its third IPL trophy in 2024. After this, several rounds of meetings took place between Iyer and the franchise, but things did not work out. After Shreyas Iyer’s release, KKR CEO Venky Mysore said that he was the number-1 choice for retention, but they could not agree on a deal. He also said that every player has complete freedom to go to the auction, so that they can earn more money. Venky Mysore told RevSportz, it is a matter of mutual consent. This is not a unilateral right of any franchisee. Players have to consider and agree on various factors. Somewhere, that agreement does not happen due to various factors – be it money or any other reason. He was at number-1 in our list. He was the captain, so everything has to be built around leadership. In the end people have the freedom to take their own decisions – Venky Mysore He further said that, we had selected him in 2022 and unfortunately he got injured in 2023. But as soon as he arrived, he was handed back the captaincy. We made it clear that when you come back, this will be your team. He was an integral part of the team and did a wonderful job. I have a personal relationship with him, but at the end of the day people have the freedom to take their own decisions. They decide what is good for them and which direction to go. Market value is also an important aspect. Let us tell you that on Thursday, October 31, KKR announced the retained players, in which KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh for IPL 2025.

BGT 2024-25: Josh Hazlewood may not be able to take part in some matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, know the big reason here?
Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will be played in November Josh Hazlewood (Image Source: Getty Images) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series. It is noteworthy that in November, India will leave for Australia tour for this five-match series. There can be a tough competition between both the teams during this series. On the other hand, before the start of this series, a very worrying news is coming out from the Australian camp. Let us tell you that during this series, Josh Hazlewood, one of the trio of Australian fast bowlers, may miss playing some matches during this series. Josh Hazlewood gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the Border-Gavaskar series, Josh Hazlewood said in a discussion with The Australian – We (Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood) played together last year, but it was probably only once. You have to take it as it comes. Because this is not T20 or ODI, you are going to bowl 4 or 10 overs. It is like in bowling you can sometimes bowl 25 or sometimes 50 overs. Therefore, there is no point in planning for it now. If you are fit to play then play and if not then don’t play. It’s as simple as that, no one rests in a Test match and if you are ready to go the day before, you play and if you are not, you sit. We’ve got a lot going on with the addition of some people who we know can do a really good job.

IND vs NZ: Five reasons which became the reason for Team India’s defeat, one decision of Rohit Sharma ruined the game
New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in the first test match. IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the Test played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. With this victory, New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. In this match, India set a target of only 107 runs for the Kiwi team, which they easily achieved on the fifth day at the loss of 2 wickets. Now the question in everyone’s mind is that where did Team India go wrong in this match and why did it lose this match, let us tell you. IND vs NZ 5 Reasons Why India Lost First Test Match (Five reasons why Team India lost the first test against New Zealand) 1. Rohit Sharma’s wrong decision on the toss. When the toss of this match took place on the second day of the Test match, there were overcast conditions. Not a single ball was bowled on the first day due to rain. At the same time, when the game started on the second day, Rohit took a wrong decision after winning the toss. India chose to bat and the entire team was bundled out for only 46 runs. Five players including Virat Kohli could not even open their accounts. Rohit himself later admitted that there was a mistake in taking the decision after the toss. Rohit said after the first day’s play, “As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions are made every year.” 2. Conway’s innings proved costly for India After India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings, New Zealand opener Devon Conway gave trouble to the Indian bowlers. Conway played an inning of 91 runs in 105 balls with the help of 11 fours and 3 sixes. He made a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket with captain Tom Latham (15). Conway then took over the innings with Will Young (33). Both of them added 75 runs for the second wicket and put pressure on the host team. 3. Racine-Saudi partnership Apart from Conway, Rachin Ravindra (134 in 157 balls), who came to bat at number four, troubled the Indian bowlers. Rachin made a 39-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (18) for the fourth wicket. However, when Tim Southee (65) came to support Rachin, both of them made a partnership of 137 runs for the eighth wicket. Thanks to the partnership of both, New Zealand scored 402 in the first innings. If India had managed to break this partnership early, then perhaps New Zealand’s innings could have been reduced to below 300 and perhaps the result of the match could have been different. 4. Rahul and Jadeja failed in the second innings also In the second innings of the test match, India scored 462 runs on the board due to the excellent batting of Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant…
