The in-form fast bowler was included. When the pitch is giving a lot, you don’t need an artist bowler like Kuldeep, a tall, fast-bowling finger spinner can also do the trick.” Common sense selection. In-form seamer in.

‘2-3% chance of winning’ Rohit and Surya remembering India’s victory over Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022
Recalling one of the best matches in the history of T20 cricket, Rohit and Surya spoke from the heart. IND vs PAK (Image Credit- Twitter Captain Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were seen giving a big reaction to India’s memorable win against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Let us tell you that this memorable match between the two teams was played on October 23, 2022, which was one of the best matches in the history of T20 cricket. India was playing the match against arch-rival Pakistan in front of more than 90 thousand spectators at MCG. Batting first, Pakistan set a target of 160 runs for India to win. However, when India set out to chase this target, its start was nothing special. At one time, India had lost four wickets for 31 runs, and when Suryakumar Yadav was out after scoring 15 runs in the match, WinPredictor was giving 2-3% chances of India’s victory. But after this there was a brilliant partnership of 113 runs for the 5th wicket between Virat Kohli (82*) and Hardik Pandya. Pandya provided good support to Kohli by scoring 40 runs in 37 balls and Virat played the best innings of his T20 career and gave India a memorable victory by 4 wickets. Rohit-Surya reacted On the other hand, now remembering this brilliant victory of India, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have given a big reaction. According to the video shared by ICC, Surya, remembering this victory, said – When we were on four runs, I was sitting in the dugout. I looked at the screen and the win predictor showed only 2 to 3 percent and then Virat and Hardik had a very good partnership there. It changed everything. Rohit said- 90,000 people in the stadium, we were in a little trouble with our batting. We lost some wickets early. I was a very nervous person, I was sitting inside the changing room, I was not watching it live because obviously, when the last over was being bowled, it was very tense. But, I came out and enjoyed that moment also.
IND vs NZ: Manoj Tiwari is unhappy with the performance of Team India in the Bengaluru Test, gave a surprising statement about Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir
In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. Gautam Gambhir & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. The players of Team India had failed to show good performance and that is why New Zealand won this match. After the end of the match, former player Manoj Tiwari has questioned the decisions of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir. According to him, Team India did not take important decisions in the first test and that is why they had to face defeat. Manoj Tiwari told Cricbuzz, ‘Sometimes I cannot understand the decisions. There seems to be a lack of common sense. It is beyond my understanding what the coach and the captain are trying to prove. I think whenever a new coach or captain comes, he tries to prove something and takes such decisions. I don’t understand why Team India did not use Ravichandran Ashwin properly: Manoj Tiwari Former player Manoj Tiwari has also raised questions as to why experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken more than 500 Test wickets, was not given the bowling during New Zealand’s second innings. Let us tell you that New Zealand needed 107 runs to win the first test. Ravichandran Ashwin came to bowl when New Zealand had scored 97 runs losing two wickets and the experienced player bowled only two overs in the second innings. Manoj Tiwari further said, ‘I knew that some spinner would get less overs but I did not think that it would be Ashwin. Ravichandran Ashwin has taken more than 500 Test wickets and when you are defending 107 runs, you need an aggressive bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah. Even good captains make mistakes because there is too much going on in your mind. There is a lot of need for a coach here but I don’t know why the mistake was made here that Ashwin was not given bowling. Another thing which was surprising was that Akash Deep was not included in the playing XI. Even good captains make mistakes because they have a lot going on in their mind. At present, Team India will have to make a strong comeback in the second test and both the coach and the captain will have to take many important decisions.

(Image Source: BCCI-IPL) Mumbai Indians first retention Rohit Sharma: There is a lot of discussion about whether Mumbai Indians will retain Rohit Sharma before the IPL 2025 mega auction or not. Last year, he was removed from the captaincy, after which reports claimed that he might part ways with the franchise. However, Mumbai has meanwhile removed Mark Boucher as the head coach and appointed Mahela Jayawardene as the new head coach. Since then it is being claimed that Mahela Jayawardene has played an important role in convincing Rohit Sharma to remain with the franchise. Now, according to Rohit Juglan of RevSportz, Mumbai has not only decided to retain him, but the star cricketer will be their first retention. Captain Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were favorites for this, but Mumbai Indians do not want to part with Rohit and that is why the franchise wants to give him every possible opportunity. Mumbai’s Top Retention Not Hardik Not Bumrah Rohit Sharma it is #RohitSharma𓃵 — Rohit Juglan Rohit Juglan (@rohitjuglan) October 22, 2024 Mumbai Indians had a very disappointing performance in the last season Let us tell you that in the last season of IPL, Mumbai Indians had a very disappointing performance under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The team was at the bottom of the points table. In such a situation, the franchise aims to improve it before the start of the upcoming season. Now, retention and money will play an important role in what kind of team the franchise prepares for the next season. Let us tell you that October 31 is the last date for the franchise to declare its retention. Each team is allowed to retain a maximum of five capped and one uncapped players. Mumbai is working on finalizing their retention and it remains to be seen whether they are successful in retaining all their star players including Hardik, Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan.
You need freedom from the captain, which Rohit Sharma gives: Mohammed Shami
Shami has played 32 matches under the captaincy of Rohit. Mohammed Shami and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami has recently given a big statement regarding the captaincy of Team India captain Rohit Sharma. Shami says that you need freedom from the captain, which Rohit Sharma gives. Let us tell you that Shami was not the first choice of Team India management in the World Cup 2023, but when Hardik got injured, Rohit showed confidence in Shami. After this, Shami batted brilliantly and took 24 wickets in his name, and emerged as the bowler taking the most wickets in the tournament. However, after suffering an ankle injury during the final match against Australia in this World Cup, Shami has not played any competitive cricket. Shami is expected to return to the Indian team during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Test series. These days he is in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and is recovering. But meanwhile Shami has given a big statement regarding Rohit’s captaincy. Mohammed Shami gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that in a recent media interview, Shami said about Rohit’s captaincy – I had not played much under Rohit’s leadership earlier. I was seen playing under his leadership in the World Cup and after that I got to play some other matches also. You need freedom from the Captain, which he gives. Shami further said- As a captain, you should know which player can give his best in a particular situation. He (Rohit Sharma) knows this very well, since we have been playing together for so long, everyone’s potential is known. He knows very well when to bring out the best from which player. Let us tell you that Shami has played a total of 32 international matches under the captaincy of Rohit, in which he has taken a total of 64 wickets at an average of 22.34.
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.
We need to be more careful about Rishabh Pant: Rohit Sharma
Pant was suffering from knee swelling in the first Test against New Zealand. Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter In the first Test match between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant suffered swelling in his knee. Because of this, the player did not even keep wickets on the field on the third day of the game. It is noteworthy that Pant is suffering from knee problem after the terrible car accident in December 2022. However, after about 14 months after this incident, Pant had returned to competitive cricket, but now Pant’s problem has come to the fore once again. Also, it is not clear whether he will be able to recover before the second Test to be held in Pune or not. But captain Rohit Sharma made it clear that the team management is going to be extra careful regarding Pant from now on. Also, captain Rohit told that Pant’s injury was not very big, but the team management decided to keep him on the bench and not take the risk, because he is a very important player in the Test team. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding Rishabh Pant Let us tell you that after the end of the first Test match between the two teams in Bengaluru, Rohit Sharma said during the post match – Look, about his (Rishabh Pant) injury, I think he has undergone a major operation on his leg. So we all know what he has gone through. So, just have to be a little careful about where he is and what he is to us. Even when he was batting, he was not able to run comfortably. He was just trying to hit the ball into the stands. But still we need to be more careful with a person like him. Rohit further said- He (Pant) has undergone many minor surgeries, a major surgery has also been done on his knee. To be honest, he has gone through a lot of trauma in the last one and a half years. So this time is just about being more careful. So, when you are keeping, you have to bend your knee with every ball by lowering it. After this we thought the right thing for him to stay inside and then be 100% ready for the next match.
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…
IND vs NZ: Before the end of the fourth day of the first test, Rohit and Virat had an altercation with the umpire, know here what is the whole matter.
The fifth day of the game is going to be exciting for both the teams. IND vs NZ (Pic Source-X) Due to bad light on the fourth day of the first Test between Team India and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen continuously arguing with the umpire. Both these players were unhappy as to why the game was stopped. Let us tell you that in the first innings, the New Zealand team had taken a lead of 356 runs. However, Team India made a great comeback and scored 462 runs after losing all the wickets in its second innings. From the host side, young batsman Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly and scored 150 runs with the help of 18 fours and three sixes. Not only this, Rishabh Pant also supported him well and played an inning of 99 runs. Both of them did not spare any New Zealand bowler and continuously hit hard against all of them. Not only this, Virat Kohli also contributed 70 runs while captain Rohit Sharma scored 52 runs. New Zealand needs 107 runs to win this match. However, on the fourth day of play, only four balls could be bowled in New Zealand’s second innings. After this the field umpire checked the light situation. The field umpire felt that the game could not be played further in this light. However, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli looked unhappy with this decision of the field umpire. He appealed to the field umpire that a few more overs could be bowled but the result was not in favor of the hosts. Here’s the video: pic.twitter.com/riFVxELLyG — Drizzyat12Kennyat8 (@45kennyat7PM) October 19, 2024 New Zealand needs 107 runs to win the match The fifth day of the game is going to be exciting for both the teams. While on one hand Team India would like to all out New Zealand as soon as possible, on the other hand the target of Kiwi team will be 107 runs. The good thing for the hosts is that the Kiwi bowlers got a lot of help on this pitch on the fourth day of the game and the same can be seen on the fifth day as well.
