Abhishek Sharma should be included in India’s 15-member squad for the Sri Lanka series: Saba Karim
Now India has to tour Sri Lanka in which a three-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series will be played. This tour is starting from 27 July. ABHISHEK SHARMA (Image Credit- Twitter X) In the five-match Test series played against Zimbabwe, all the players of India performed very well and won the series 4-1. Let us tell you, India had to face defeat in the first match against Zimbabwe. However, after this the team made a very good comeback and won all its remaining four matches. Now India has to tour Sri Lanka in which a three-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series will be played. This tour is starting from July 27. However, before this tour, former Indian cricketer Saba Karim has given a statement that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill should open the team. Not only this, Saba Karim also hopes that Abhishek Sharma will also be included in this Indian team. Saba Karim told Sony Sports, ‘The most important position will be the top order. I think the selectors will go with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. I believe Abhishek Sharma should be included in the 15-member squad as Rishabh Pant will be seen batting at number three and Suryakumar Yadav at number four. It will also have to be seen who captains the T20 format? Gautam Gambhir is the head coach and it will be very important to see what is the plan of the captain and the head coach? They will have to select the players accordingly. Rituraj Gaikwad is also there and it will be very difficult for the selectors to select the players. India’s tour of Sri Lanka starts from 27 July Let us tell you, Abhishek Sharma scored his first international T20 century in the second T20 match played against Zimbabwe. Not only this, Yashasvi Jaiswal played important innings of 36 runs and 93* runs after his return. The best thing for the Indian team is that all their players are in tremendous form at this time. Shubman Gill also played the top order role quite well. The bowlers also performed very well in this series. Now it remains to be seen whether the experienced players of the Indian team are called back in the T20 series against Sri Lanka or only young players are given a chance? 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

The fight to become Team India’s opener for the Sri Lanka series has begun among these 4 batsmen, what will BCCI do?
The names of Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rituraj Gaikwad are coming up as openers for the Sri Lanka series. Indian team (Pic Source-X) A five-match T20 series was organized between India and Zimbabwe. The last match of this series was played on Sunday (14 July). In this match held at Harare Sports Club, the Indian cricket team won by 42 runs and with this, Team India under the captaincy of Shubman Gill has won the series against Zimbabwe by 4-1. After the series win, Shubman Gill naturally looked very excited. Actually, This series proved to be a comeback for Shubman Gill after not getting a place in the T20 World Cup team due to poor form. He captained brilliantly and his batting form also returned. After the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill’s innings as captain and opener was commendable. Big question about opening in Team India However, in this series we saw many contenders for the opening spot. Whoever got the chance took advantage of it with both hands and now has created a problem for the BCCI. First Abhishek Sharma, then Yashasvi Jaiswal both batted brilliantly as openers. After that there was Rituraj Gaikwad who may not have opened but his old records definitely tell what level of opener he is. Now the question will arise as to who should be given the opening and who should not. Because the names of Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rituraj Gaikwad have come up for the upcoming series. All this headache will now fall on the coach and the captain to be appointed for the Sri Lanka series. Shubman Gill has issued a statement regarding this increasing competition in the team. He said- “The best thing is that everyone is performing. It shows that no one is taking things lightly and everyone is serious about their form and performance. This is the best thing for any country and board.” “Whoever got the opportunity grabbed it with both hands. From openers to bowlers, all-rounders and spinners, everyone made their mark and I think the selectors have seen everything now and it is up to them to select the team for the next series (3 T20s and 3 ODIs in Sri Lanka).”

Pooja Vastrakar (Photo Source: Getty Images) Veteran player Veda Krishnamurthy believes that Pooja Vastrakar has performed better than expected in the ongoing India Women vs South Africa Women multi-format series. She said that the fast bowler all-rounder has started performing brilliantly in the last 6 years. The Indian women’s cricket team defeated South Africa 3-0 in the three-match ODI series. After this, the hosts also won the only Test series. Currently, a three-match T20 series is being played between the two teams. In the second T20 match, Pooja Vastrakar took two wickets for 37 runs in four overs. The match was cancelled due to rain but South Africa, batting first, scored 177 runs in 20 overs. Speaking on Sports18, Veda Krishnamurthy said about Pooja Vastrakar’s bowling spell, ‘You can say that Pooja has performed exactly as expected in this series. It has been 6 years since her debut. As far as I remember, Pooja made her international debut in 2018. There were a lot of expectations from her but she could not live up to them.’ The veteran player further said, ‘I think her confidence has increased a lot after she defended those runs in the second ODI. Since then, her game has improved a lot and she is bowling with a lot of control. She understood her length well and is now working on it.’ Reema Malhotra also gave her opinion on Pooja Vastrakar’s bowling Reema Malhotra said, ‘Most of her balls were of good length. When you bowl full, you are making mistakes. She used her experience well and bowled with variations. When Renuka Singh Thakur was not playing, her work doubled. In the second match, she was the main bowler of her team. If Jemima had not dropped the catch, Pooja would have taken three wickets. Pooja bowled very well in this match and constantly put pressure on the South African batsmen. I liked her performance very much. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
