He (Dhoni) is close to accuracy: Anil Chaudhary MS Dhoni and Anil Chaudhary (Image Credit- Twitter Hardly anyone understands the game of cricket better than former Indian captain and finishing master MS Dhoni. Dhoni’s mind remains very calm on the cricket field, and what to say about the cleanliness of his mind and gloves behind the wicket. Before retiring from cricket in the year 2020, Dhoni was known for changing the game from behind the wicket. So whenever Dhoni would take a DRS call, there was a high probability that the decision would come in Dhoni’s favour. Many cricket fans also fondly call DRS as Dhoni Review System, because Dhoni’s accuracy in it was very good. On the other hand, now Indian umpire Anil Chaudhary has made a big statement praising Dhoni. Chaudhary has praised Dhoni’s decision-making ability and said that he can become a very good umpire. Anil Chaudhary made a big statement about MS Dhoni Let us tell you that recently while talking on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Anil Chaudhary said about DRS – it is not always like this, sometimes it is the opposite, but he (MS Dhoni) is close to accuracy. He has a lot of ideas about the game. Many times he stops others from appealing. He can become a good umpire, provided he is ready to stay inside the field for seven hours. Chaudhary further said about Rishabh Pant- Rishabh Pant has also improved a lot from before. It is all about experience. You watch the replays and then re-evaluate your call. The wicketkeeper has the best place to keep an eye, they are stationary and can see the ball coming. In fact, the best umpires sometimes decide their decisions from the actions of the wicketkeepers as they follow the ball.
“Should we do training or swimming..” Afghanistan captain joked after seeing water filled in Delhi ground, read full statement
“Boys, we should have brought swimming equipment with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Hashmatullah Shahidi was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. Cricket Pitches (Source X) Afghanistan team will be in Greater Noida from September 9 Afghanistan is set to play a one-off Test match against New Zealand at the Shaheed Vijay Pathik Stadium in K. What makes this match interesting is that it will be a ‘home’ match for Afghanistan due to the political situation in their country. However, as soon as the team reached Delhi for practice, they faced some major problems due to the bad condition of the ground because of the rain. Due to the continuous rain in the city, the outfield of the Greater Noida Stadium got wet and the training pitch was flooded. The groundsmen were trying to dry the pitch with the help of two table fans. Notably, there is no super sopper on the ground and there are not enough covers to protect the field beyond the 30-yard circle. Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah Shahid made fun of the wet ground The condition of the ground prompted heavy criticism from Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahid, who jokingly remarked that they should have brought swimming gear as it was a good place to swim. “Boys, we should have brought swimming gear with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Shahidi said, according to the Indian Express. Addressing the ground staff, the Afghanistan captain joked that they are used to such conditions but what will they say when the New Zealand team comes on the field. The Afghan captain said, Sir, we are used to it, but what will you answer to the people of New Zealand? This will be the first Test match at this stadium in Greater Noida. Earlier in 2017, five ODIs and three T20 matches were played between Afghanistan and Ireland at this stadium. Earlier in July, the BCCI gave the Afghanistan Cricket Board an NOC to host its home matches in India after a gap of four years. Afghanistan was initially scheduled to host Bangladesh in a full-fledged series against Bangladesh, consisting of three Tests and a few white-ball games. However, due to the extreme heat wave in North India during this period, the series was postponed.
Former Pakistani captain made a big statement, said- ICC Chairman Jay Shah should show emotion and send India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy
Pakistan has the hosting rights for Champions Trophy 2025. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has been elected ICC chairman. Shah’s appointment has left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wondering about the future of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that this time the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy are with Pakistan. However, it is not yet confirmed whether India will tour Pakistan for this multi-nation tournament or not? Also, looking at the current political relations between the two countries, it seems that India will hardly go to Pakistan. If this happens, then once again the Champions Trophy can be held in a hybrid format like the Asia Cup. It is worth noting that at that time the hosting rights were with Pakistan, but India played all its matches including the final in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, now after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman, a big statement has come from former Pakistani captain and legendary batsman Younis Khan. Younis believes that Shah will maintain the spirit of sportsmanship and will help India tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Younis Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman recently, Younis Khan, quoting Cricket Pakistan, said- Jay Shah becoming the ICC chief should lead to the rise of cricket. Shah needs to show sportsmanship, because with the good initiative of the ICC chief, India can come to Pakistan to play cricket, in the same way Pakistan can also tour India. Well, now it remains to be seen whether India will tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not? However, looking at the current scenario, it seems impossible.
