DTVHINDIIND vs ENG: “He was not targeting anyone” – Aakash Chopra said on Rohit’s hunger statement
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that, when Rohit Sharma said that only those people will be given a chance in Test cricket who have the hunger for Test cricket, then he was not pointing towards any one player. India defeated England by five wickets in the fourth Test in Ranchi on Monday to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. In the post-match press conference, Rohit talked about the hunger required to achieve success and perform well in the longest format. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on some of the post-match comments from both the captains. He has shared his opinion referring to Rohit’s statement. Akash Chopra’s statement on Rohit Sharma’s ‘hungry’ statement Aakash Chopra said, “Rohit Sharma has said that this is the toughest format and if you have to be successful in it, you need a lot of discipline and dedication. He also said that if someone does not have that hunger then it is obvious, but he was not pointing at anyone.” The former opening batsman further said, “If you listen to him till the end, he also said that there is no one inside or outside the team or squad who is saying that they do not want to play. So he was not targeting anyone.” Aakash Chopra said that what Rohit said was 110 percent correct. However, he said that Indian cricket is in a very good shape as they have some senior and junior players. In the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Team India managed to win the Test series against England.

I think we just try to do what we think is the best way to win the match. It is a useless comment that we are not ruthless. I haven’t been able to understand what it means. Stokes further said- We want to win the series by winning every match we play. This is the first time we have lost a series, but we still have many series ahead of us. It is always disappointing to be on a losing team. Cricket is always a game of skill against skill.

It sounds a bit strange, but sometimes I turn off the TV when I’m watching the Bangladesh Premier League. Some players are not even of the (required) class. I have a big problem with the current system. ICC needs to take action in this. There should be some rules. A player is playing one tournament and then he is playing another tournament. It has become like a circus. Players will talk about opportunities, but that is not correct. People will lose interest, I have also lost interest. Hathurusinghe further said – I have a way that we have a tournament before BPL, but in this tournament some of the best players do not play, because the franchises do not want this, they do what they have to do. Then how can you expect that Bangladesh will not lose to other teams. I am fighting an uphill battle right now.

This may happen once or twice, but when you play 10 innings in a season, you may fail 8 times because of this approach. Our batsmen should learn the importance of biding time on the wicket. The best example of this is Akshay Chandran. He changed his approach and scored valuable runs for his team.
