DTVHINDI“If you want to score runs, you have to work on it” – Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of CSK captain
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has exposed a major weakness of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Actually, Chennai Super Kings has to play a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad on Friday, April 5 and just before this match, Aakash Chopra talked about the biggest weakness of the Chennai captain this season. Aakash Chopra said that Ruturaj Gaikwad has been troubled a lot by the left arm pacers this season. Left-arm fast bowlers have dismissed Gaikwad in all three of his innings in the current edition of the IPL. Yash Dayal, Spencer Johnson and Khalil Ahmed have sent him to the pavilion by getting him caught out by the wicketkeeper or at first slip. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked Gaikwad as Chennai Super Kings’ star performer for Friday’s match. They said that, “I am focusing a lot on the captain because Ruturaj has top class numbers against this team. He has won the Player of the Match award and scored 50 or more runs. So why not Ruturaj Gaikwad? What has happened so far – the left-arm seamers are troubling him.” The former India batsman said that the CSK opener cannot face T Natarajan and Marco Jansen. They said that, “However, we don’t know whether T Natarajan is available or not and I don’t see Marco Jensen playing. When the pitch is so flat, I am very hopeful that he will score runs. He looks in good form but the number of runs is lacking.” Chopra also believed that SRH’s bowling attack could have Jaydev Unadkat as a left-arm fast bowler. However, he also said that the Saurashtra bowler has less chances of dismissing the CSK batsman and even if he does, their batsman will not get out cheaply against CSK.

“Kohli scored 83 runs in 59 balls, KKR scored 85 runs in 5.5 overs….”- Aakash Chopra taunted RCB bowlers.
On Friday, March 29, in Bengaluru, RCB set a target of 183 runs for KKR, in which Virat Kohli played an unbeaten inning of 83 runs in 59 balls. Narine and Salt added 86 runs in just 6.3 overs, helping the visitors register a massive win with 19 balls and seven wickets to spare. While chasing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)’s target in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Narine and Salt had finished the match by scoring as much as Kohli within the powerplay. Chopra said that, “When Sunil Narine opens, the template is very clear – ‘Either me or you will not be there.’ He plays like this, tries to hit sixes. Everyone knows that he has trouble with yorkers or bouncers. But if you don’t get success in it, like Bengaluru didn’t get success in the first six overs, it takes the match very much out of your control.” He further said, “He was also accompanied by Phil Salt. Phil Salt gave away 18 runs in the very first over. He was fantastic. To put things in context, the opposition bowled well but Kohli took 59 balls to reach 83 and Kolkata had scored 85 runs in 5.5 overs. Be it Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Siraj or Yash Dayal, everyone took a lot of beating. Let us tell you that Narine scored 47 runs in just 22 balls, which included two fours and five sixes. Salt hit two fours and as many sixes in his innings of 30 runs in 20 balls. Both these batsmen made the match one-sided with their innings.
IPL 2024: “Runs are not scored by sitting in the dugout” – Wasim Jaffer and Tom Moody angry over Prithvi Shaw not getting a chance
Prithvi Shaw has not got a chance in the first two matches of IPL 2024. Prithvi Shaw. (Image Source: Twitter) Delhi Capitals has had a very poor start in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The team has lost its first two matches. After losing their opener against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, Delhi faced defeat against Rajasthan at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. Batsman Prithvi Shaw was not included in both the matches. Delhi chose Ricky Bhui in his place in the top order and gave a chance to Abhishek Porel in the lower middle order, but he did not get the results as expected. After these two matches, questions are being raised on the place of Ricky Bhui in the team, who has scored only 3 runs in the last two matches. Former cricketers Tom Moody and Wasim Jaffer are also surprised by Delhi’s decision to give a chance to two uncapped batsmen in place of international batsman Prithvi Shaw. Wasim Jaffer surprised when Prithvi Shaw did not get a chance in the playing XI On ESPNcricinfo, both Moody and Jaffer expressed their disappointment, saying that these decisions of Delhi do not make any sense. Tom Moody told ESPNcricinfo, “It makes no sense because you have an Indian international player sitting in the dugout. Yes, he has not performed as well as we expected in the IPL. But you can’t score from the dugout. Wasim Jaffer said, “Now that they have kept him with you and have not allowed him to go to the auction, I am surprised that they are not feeding him. He has played most of the season for Mumbai. So you can imagine he’s fit. I am surprised. Punishing him and then losing the game is not the way to proceed.” Shaw scored only 106 runs in 8 matches in the last season of the Indian Premier League. This was Shaw’s worst season in the tournament. Recently, Sourav Ganguly had also told why Prithvi Shaw is not getting a chance this season. Sauv Ganguly said that Prithvi Shaw is in the team, but he cannot be played in the middle order. Let us tell you, Prithvi Shaw has only opened his career so far, so DC does not want to play him in the middle order. Prithvi Shaw is an opening batsman. We have decided to open with Marsh and Warner and Ricky Bhui is a middle-order batsman. That’s why they bat at different positions.
