Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket – Krishnamachari Srikkanth KL Rahul, Kris Srikanth, and Sarfaraz Khan (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian cricket team is to play a two-match Test series at home against Bangladesh from September 19. The BCCI has announced the squad for the first Test, but choosing the playing 11 is going to be a big headache for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. Because there will be competition among the players for some positions. In the middle order, Sarfaraz Khan will compete with KL Rahul for the number-5 spot, while the team has two wicketkeeping options in Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant. Meanwhile, former Indian player and BCCI chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes that the team management will put KL Rahul ahead of Sarfaraz Khan because he is a big player. That’s why the former legend feels bad for the young batsman Sarfaraz Khan. If a big player returns, you will have to lose your place- Chris Srikanth Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kris Srikkanth said, Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket. You may be playing well but when a big player returns, you will have to lose your place, for example Rishabh Pant is returning due to which Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are losing their place because KL Rahul is coming. Kris Srikkanth feels that KL Rahul will be preferred over Sarfaraz due to his overseas record. Sarfaraz Khan has played only one Test series so far, that too at home against England earlier this year. In the back of the mind, they are also keeping the Australia series. New Zealand is also coming. KL Rahul has done well overseas, he has done well in Australia. BCCI has not released Sarfaraz from the Duleep Trophy squad BCCI has made changes in the teams for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The players who have been selected in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh have been released from the Duleep Trophy. However, Sarfaraz Khan and Yash Dayal have been retained for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The reason behind not releasing Sarfaraz Khan is believed to be that he may not get a chance in the playing 11 of the Test against Bangladesh. The second round of Duleep Trophy 2024 will be played in Anantapur from September 12. At the same time, the first Test match between India and Bangladesh will be played in Chepauk from September 19. Team India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh- Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal
T20 World Cup 2024: Before the final, Krishnamachari Srikkanth compared Rohit Sharma to Kapil Dev, read the big news
The final match between India and South Africa will be played today on 29th June. Kris Srikkanth and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) This is the third time under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy that the Indian cricket team has reached the finals of ICC tournaments. Rohit took over the reins of the team after Virat Kohli, and after that not only he but the team also started playing aggressive cricket. On the other hand, ahead of India’s final match with South Africa in the ongoing T20 World Cup, former Indian player and 1983 World Cup champion Krishnamachari Srikkanth has been seen comparing Rohit Sharma with former captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev, under whose captaincy India won the World Cup for the first time. Srikanth compared Rohit to Kapil Let us tell you that in a discussion with Star Sports before India’s match against South Africa, Srikkanth said – I do not like to compare cricket eras and captains, but I have brought for you a similarity between the 1983 World Cup and this World Cup. In this World Cup, see who is leading the team as a leader. As a leader, Rohit Sharma said, I will lead, I will play risky shots. He has played some great shots and great innings so far. Kapil did something similar at that time. Srikkanth further said- As a team, you need every player. Be it Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar or even Akshar Patel’s 10-12 runs. The best thing is that he (Rohit) is using his bowlers properly. He captained brilliantly against England, and brought in Axar Patel in the fourth over, and he took the big wicket of Jos Buttler. This is the same thing that Kapil Dev did. Everyone is contributing to the success of the team.

In the match, Tamil Nadu, which won the toss and batted first, had to face defeat. Regarding Tamil Nadu’s defeat in the match, team coach Sulakshan Kulkarni had said that Tamil Nadu had to face defeat in the match because of the decision making of captain R Sai Kishore. On the other hand, Sulakshan Kulkarni also received a lot of criticism in the cricket world for the coach blaming the captain for the team’s defeat. Players like Dinesh Karthik and Hemang Badani were seen supporting Sai Kishore. All of them say that it is not logical to hold any one player responsible for the defeat. On the other hand, now former Indian cricketer and former BCCI selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has given a big statement on this issue. Srikanth says that such coaches should not be recruited. Srikanth gave a big statement Let us tell you that while defending R Sai Kishore, Chris Srikanth said through his YouTube channel – This is not right at all. Dear Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), please do not recruit such coaches from outside states. After the defeat in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy against Mumbai, the coach of Tamil Nadu was quoted by Times of India as saying – I told him (Sai Kishore) that if we win the toss, we will bowl first. This was my last conversation with the captain before the toss and it happened about five to seven minutes before he went on the field for the toss. He won the toss and suddenly decided to bat first and everyone in the dressing room was shocked. The opposing team was also surprised.
If Rohit Sharma says I am available, how will you remove him- K Srikkanth
Former Team India cricketer K Srikkanth Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to play in the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to start from June 1. Let us tell you that Rohit and Virat have not played a single match in this format since the T-20 World Cup semi-finals. But he has been recalled to the team for the upcoming three-match series against Afghanistan. Srikanth said that if Rohit is available for selection then the team management cannot exclude him. He said the 36-year-old player is sad after losing to Australia in the ODI World Cup final and would like to retire with the T20 World Cup, which will be held in West Indies and USA. Srikkanth also said that, Virat Kohli will definitely feature in the tournament as he is in great form. K Srikkanth’s big statement regarding Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli In a video on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth said, “Virat Kohli is sure. He is in great form. Rohit Sharma is probably confident about how he scored in the World Cup. He will regroup and try to perform well in the IPL. If Rohit Sharma says I am available, you cannot say that you will drop him. At the end of the day, Rohit Sharma is also hurt by the fact that he has lost a World Cup. He would like to retire at least with the World Cup in hand. He was there in the 2007 World Cup. He would like to do something similar, win the World Cup and then retire. Virat Kohli, considered one of the greatest players of all time, has not yet won the T20 World Cup. He was the top run-scorer in the last edition of the T20 World Cup and is in ‘great form’ at the moment. Regarding him, Srikant had said that, “Virat Kohli would definitely like to win the T20 World Cup. Apart from this, the T20 World Cup took place only 13 months ago last year. Virat Kohli was in extraordinary form. If they say they’re available, I don’t think you can skip them.
