BGT has ended the careers of six players including Dhoni, Sehwag, now it’s Rohit and Virat’s turn!
India, who lost their number one crown in the WTC points table to Australia, have won their last two Test tours of Australia. However, in the meantime, the team coached by Gautam Gambhir has repeatedly flopped in batting on its home ground, which has become a cause of great tension for Team India before this Australia tour. India’s experienced batting line-up failed to score runs, which also included flop shows from big players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Rohit scored 91 runs in six innings against the Kiwis, Kohli scored only 93 runs. After the flop of these two batsmen in this series, questions are now being raised about their future in Test cricket. Fans and some experts have even said that the time for his retirement is near, especially if India fails to make it to the upcoming WTC final. Interestingly, if we look at the history of BGT, six Indian legends ended their careers by playing this series. These six players ended their careers by playing Border-Gavaskar The Test career of 6 big players of India has ended with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes the names of former captain MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag. The Test career of these great players came to a complete halt after this series. His last series was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If Team India is not successful in winning this series, then it is possible that the Test career of Virat, Rohit and Ashwin may also come to a complete halt.

“Becoming the head coach of India is not challenging…”, why did Virender Sehwag give such a statement…?
India has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles – Virender Sehwag Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the head coach of India in all three formats. Gambhir’s tenure as head coach has been mixed so far. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 in the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, they had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series. Meanwhile, recently former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on the role of the head coach. Sehwag believes that this responsibility is not as difficult as it may seem from the outside. He also explained the reason why the players will have more burden than Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir is there to help them all- Virender Sehwag Talking about the interview given to Amar Ujala, Virender Sehwag said, I don’t think it is a challenging role because it involves other professionals as well. The team has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles. Gambhir’s arrival will give clarity to the players. It will be an added advantage. The challenges will be less for Gambhir and more for the players, because now they will feel that after the T20 World Cup they have to win the Champions Trophy or the WTC Final or the World Cup. But of course, Gambhir is there to help all of them. Sehwag never wants to become the head coach of Team India Virender Sehwag further revealed why he would never accept the role of Indian coach. However, he has expressed his desire to become an IPL coach. Let us tell you, Sehwag was the mentor of the franchise from 2016 to 2018 after representing Punjab Kings in 2014 and 2015. Not with the Indian cricket team, but if the IPL gives me a coaching opportunity, I can definitely consider it. If I become the head coach of India, I will have to return to the same routine that I have done for 15 years. To play for the Indian team, you have to stay out for 8-9 months a year. If I become the head coach of India, staying away from my children will be the biggest challenge for me. I will not be able to give time to my children. But yes, if the role of coach or mentor is available in the IPL, I can accept it.

Virender Sehwag appeals to Team India to win the T20 World Cup in honor of Rahul Dravid, read the big news
India is going to face England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has never won the Cricket World Cup. India was joint winner of the Champions Trophy 2002 with Sri Lanka, while India lost the 2003 World Cup final against Australia. Apart from this, the 2007 Cricket World Cup under Dravid’s captaincy was even more disastrous, the team was eliminated from the group stage itself. However, in 2011, the Indian team won the ICC Cricket World Cup, but Dravid could not make it to that team. So in the year 2012, he retired from cricket, but after that he was seen playing IPL for a few years. Although, he did not get much success as a player, but when he took over the coaching of India’s Under 19 team, he got a lot of success, during this time some players also made it to the senior team. After this, when he took over the coaching of India’s senior team, he did not get the same success as the Under 19 team. Under Dravid’s coaching, the Indian team reached the semi-finals in the T20 World Cup 2022. At the same time, Team India was considered a strong contender to win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, but India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia in the final. So now Dravid’s coaching career is going to end after the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, keeping this in mind, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has requested Team India that they should win the World Cup to honor Dravid. Virender Sehwag made a special appeal to Team India Let us tell you that in a discussion with Cricbuzz before India’s second semi-final match against England in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Virender Sehwag said- We played the 2011 World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. So this T20 World Cup can be for Rahul Dravid. At least as a coach he should get a chance to win a World Cup and be called a World Cup winner, which he did not get as a player.
“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. Taking a dig at Shakib’s poor form, former Indian veteran Virender Sehwag had said that he should retire from the T20 format. Shakib Al Hasan then gave a befitting reply to the critics by scoring 64* runs in an important match against the Netherlands. Reacting to Virender Sehwag’s comments after this match-winning innings, the all-rounder said that he has nothing to answer to anyone. But former Bangladeshi player Imrul Kayes is furious with Virender Sehwag’s attitude, he has given a big statement lashing out at Sehwag. Imrul Kayes got very angry on Virender Sehwag Former Bangladeshi player Imrul Kayes says that Virender Sehwag does not know how to respect players. Because he has not received that respect in his career. Talking to the Bangladeshi media, Kayes said, ‘Shakib did not become Shakib-al-Hasan in 1 or 2 days. He is the number 1 ICC all-rounder in all formats not once but for a long time. A player like him needs respect, which Virender Sehwag did not get in his career. So maybe he does not know anything about respecting or giving respect to others. Bangladesh is still in the race to reach the Super-8 after defeating Netherlands by 25 runs in the last match. The team is second in the Group-D points table with two wins in three matches and 4 points. Bangladesh is going to play its last match of the group stage round against Nepal on 17 June. The team will have to win this match to secure a place in the Super-8. If the team reaches the Super-8, then it will play its first match against India on June 22 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua.
