We had an identity, people knew how Sri Lankan cricketers play the game and teams wanted to emulate it. I don’t think we have any team at the moment that plays like that. Arvind further said- I am enjoying the way England is playing cricket at the moment. They are playing very aggressive cricket. Whether they are bowling or batting. England is really adopting a positive mindset and they are getting results for it. It is difficult to win in England, but it is definitely not impossible.

(Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has questioned the absence of senior Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as well as Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh from the four Duleep Trophy teams. He said that if Pujara was a contender for a place in the Test team, he could have proved to be an important batsman for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Senior star cricketers including captain Rohit Sharma, key batsman Virat Kohli, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have been rested from the Duleep Trophy. While Pujara and Rahane have been dropped from the team, Samson and Rinku Singh did not find a place in any of the four teams selected for the Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali said that he was surprised by the non-selection of some big names. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement about Cheteshwar Pujara Baris Ali said on his YouTube channel, “I saw the teams and I was surprised that 3-4 names are not in it. Ajinkya Rahane is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara is not there. Sanju Samson is not there. Rinku Singh is not there. Shivam Dubey has been selected. I think he is being prepared as an all-rounder. Let’s see who performs well in the Duleep Trophy.” He further added, “Pujara could have proved useful in Australia. I am surprised that he is not there despite Gautam Gambhir being there (as India’s coach). Even Rinku Singh is not in the squad. Again, keeping Gambhir in mind, it is quite surprising.” Let us tell you that apart from young Shubman Gill, players like Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been given the responsibility of captaincy in the teams for Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you that the first match of this tournament will be played on 5 September.
“If there was an event for making excuses, we would have won the gold medal every time” – Sunil Gavaskar’s shocking statement
India did not get a single gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Sunil Gavaskar & Prakash Padukone (Pic Source-X) The performance of Indian badminton players was not good in Paris Olympics 2024. After which former veteran badminton player Prakash Padukone expressed a lot of disappointment.

After this statement of his, he had to face a lot of criticism. Meanwhile, veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has supported Prakash Padukone. He said, ‘People of this country are experts in making excuses, if there was an event for this, we would have won gold every time. Prakash Padukone has always stayed away from the news. His whole life has been like this. Some people are taking his statement in the wrong way. In fact, these people know him, yet they are saying such things. Sunil Gavaskar came out in support of Prakash Padukone Gavaskar further said, ‘What did he say? He said that players today get all kinds of facilities. They also have the support of the federation and the government. In such a situation, players should take responsibility for their performance. He put his point across well. He did not question anyone. Some people twisted his statement. After this people started criticizing him. He started putting forth his point without knowing anything. He said, ‘If a player does not take responsibility for his performance, then who will? What wrong did he say? People say that the timing was wrong. But it is better to say this at the time when the player is looking for an excuse. He could have said this in the changing room as well, but believe me, public criticism has a huge impact on a player.’
“India’s bowling is zero without Bumrah”- Former Pakistan bowler made a shocking tweet
Former Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan criticized India’s poor bowling performance after their 0-2 loss in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. On Wednesday, August 7, the third and final ODI of the series was played between India and Sri Lanka. By losing this match, India also lost the series 2-0. Let us tell you that, Sri Lanka managed to defeat its neighbors in a bilateral ODI series for the first time since 1997. During the recently concluded ODI series, the Sri Lankan team dominated the Indian team in every department. In the entire series, the Indian bowlers were not able to bowl out the Lankan team even once. Sri Lanka won the toss on all three occasions and decided to bat first on the pitches. However, this pitch proved to be very helpful for their bowlers and they also took full advantage of it. Junaid Khan tweeted this about Jaspreet Bumrah Junaid said that India’s bowling attack is “zero” without Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the series. The former Pakistan pacer asked cricket fans if they agreed with his opinion. “Do you agree? India’s bowling attack is zero without Bumrah,” Junaid wrote on his official ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle. Would you agree? Without Bumrah, India’s bowling is zero… #INDvSL #SLVSIND — Junaid Khan (@JunaidkhanREAL) August 7, 2024 Talking about the third ODI match, Sri Lanka won the toss and scored 248/7. Avishka Fernando scored the highest 96 runs in 102 balls for Sri Lanka. Apart from him, Pathum Nissanka contributed 45 and Kusal Mendis contributed 59 runs.

Dunith Welalage bowled the best in his career for Sri Lanka. He took 5 wickets for 27 runs in 5.1 overs.
After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement
After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.
We can play Champions Trophy even without India: Hasan Ali gave a shocking statement
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will begin from February 19 in Karachi and the final match will be played on March 9 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Virat Kohli and Hasan Ali. (Photo Source: Getty Images) The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in the month of February. This important tournament will be held in Pakistan. A total of 8 teams will clash in this great tournament. Let us tell you, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will start from February 19 in Karachi and its final match will be played on March 9 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. A total of three venues have been shortlisted for this tournament. However, it is also expected that this competition will be hosted in a country other than Pakistan. This is because India will not tour Pakistan to play in the Champions Trophy 2025. So far, no statement has come from the Board of Control for Cricket in India regarding this, but there may be a change in the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025. In this, Sri Lanka or UAE can be included in the backup venue. Pakistan’s veteran fast bowler Hasan Ali has put forth his view on this. According to Hasan Ali, if India does not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025, then this event should be organized without them. Hasan Ali said on Sama TV, ‘If we are going to India and playing, then they should also come to Pakistan. Many people have said this many times that sports should not be linked to politics. But if you look at it from a different perspective, many Indian players have said in interviews that they also want to play in Pakistan. This does not mean that the team does not want to come there. All the players want this but politics, country and board are not allowing this to happen.’ If India doesn’t want to come then we should play the Champions Trophy without them: Hasan Ali Hasan Ali further said, ‘Like our Pakistan Cricket Board president has said that if the Champions Trophy is to be held in Pakistan, it will be held here only. Apart from Pakistan, no other country should host this tournament. If India does not want to come, then we will have to play without them. Cricket should be played in Pakistan only and if India does not want to participate here, it does not mean that cricket is completely over. There are other teams apart from India.’ Let us tell you, India last visited Pakistan in 2008. Asia Cup 2023 was to be held in Pakistan but India refused to travel here. However, after this the tournament was played under the hybrid model. India played all its matches in Sri Lanka and won the tournament. 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…
BCCI did not consult Virat Kohli before appointing Gautam Gambhir as coach, shocking report revealed
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir is the next head coach of Team India. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X/Twitter) As soon as Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, there has been a stir in Indian cricket. Meanwhile, another media report has surfaced which is related to Gautam Gambhir, hearing which the fans are absolutely surprised. Before appointing Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, the BCCI did not consult Virat Kohli. Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India after the departure of Rahul Dravid. Let us tell you that Rahul Dravid’s tenure recently ended with the T20 World Cup 2024. Under his leadership, Team India played the finals of three ICC tournaments in the last one year, in which India won one and lost two. The kind of bonding Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir share is well known to all the fans. They hugged each other during IPL 2024, but they have been involved in heated arguments many times in the past and it was speculated that Kohli might play a big role in the selection of the new head coach, however, that was not the case when the board appointed Gautam Gambhir. BCCI appointed Gautam Gambhir as head coach without consulting Virat Kohli Virat Kohli has retired from the shortest format of cricket after the T20 World Cup, but it is believed that he will definitely play the ODI format at least till the 2027 World Cup. Keeping all these things in mind, the BCCI appointed Gambhir as the head coach without consulting Kohli. A BCCI source confirmed this to Hindustan Times. The BCCI source said, “There is enough time for talks between the two. But it is important for the BCCI to look at the bigger picture, as many young players can be seen playing for Team India in the coming years.” The report further states that Hardik Pandya was one of the few players whose opinion was taken by the BCCI before appointing Gambhir as India’s head coach. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20, there are chances that Hardik Pandya can be made the captain of the team in this format.

(Image Source: BCCI) After months of criticism and trolling, India vice-captain Hardik Pandya has finally regained his lost dignity and respect. Pandya, who played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup win in Barbados last week, has been the target of fans during IPL 2024. When Mumbai Indians removed Rohit Sharma and made Hardik Pandya the captain, the fans were furious. This had a direct impact on the performance of Hardik and Mumbai Indians. The team was at the last position in the points table. Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, who is out of the Indian team, has praised Hardik’s character. ‘I will never forget Hardik’s words’- Ishan Kishan Some fans were also unhappy with Hardik’s inclusion in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, but Hardik was a match winner for India in the final and was excellent throughout the tournament. Now Ishan Kishan told the Indian Express- “I knew Hardik was saving himself for the World Cup. I can’t forget his words. ‘Ek baar performance aaye jaye fir jo aaj gaali de rhe hain wahi taalai baalenge.’ He said this even when I was going through a tough time. We will give our 100 percent in the game we love.” ‘It’s hard to put into words what his life has been like in the last six months’ – Ishan Kishan Ishan Kishan also revealed that the India vice-captain never complained about the fans’ behaviour towards him. He said- ‘The last 6 months have been very difficult for him. Many things were said about him but he never lost his temper. I have spent a lot of time with him whether it was training in Vadodara or playing together in the IPL. I never heard him say why is this happening to me. I remember during the IPL he had said, ‘Why think about what is not in your hands. People are saying why they are saying, they cannot control everything. Those who are criticizing me today will celebrate in the future.’
