Can be retained in. The first T20 match will be played on Sunday, October 6 at the newly constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey are already in the team, so it may be difficult for young Reddy to make a place in the team. However, if Team India is successful in taking an unassailable lead in the series in the first two matches, then 21-year-old Reddy may get a chance to debut for India. Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Nitish Reddy Aakash Chopra, in a video shared on his YouTube channel, said, “They must be praying that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains uncapped. They might be saying – ‘Please don’t play him in the T20 series.’ Like Harshit Rana, his name is also in that team and if he gets a chance to play, he will also dominate.” Chopra said that when it comes to capped retention, captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head will be SRH’s preferred choices. Chopra said, “First of all they have to retain the captain and Abhishek Sharma. You have to retain Heinrich Klaasen and if you can get Travis Head that’s great. These four names come to my mind first. Pat Cummins, since he is the captain, and he has managed the team very well, you would want to retain him.” Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had performed brilliantly with the bat in IPL 2024. He finished the tournament with an explosive strike rate of 204.22. Chopra said that SRH should retain this player as he can be one of the most expensive players if he goes to the auction.

Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey are already present in the team, due to which it may be difficult for young Reddy to get a chance. However, if India wins the first two matches and clinch the series, then 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy can be given a debut in the final match to give him international cricket experience.

Chopra expressed his opinion that SRH captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Travis Head could be the primary options for their capped retentions. “Abhishek Sharma can go for Rs 10 to 18 crore in the auction” Akash Chopra Aakash Chopra said, “Abhishek Sharma is a necessary retention. If Abhishek Sharma goes in the auction, he can go for Rs 10 to 18 crores. Therefore they should also be retained. Abhishek Sharma will be my second pick.” After this, he also mentioned Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head and said that SRH should retain both of them, because both of them cannot go for Rs 14 crore in the IPL auction, but their talent is considered very high.

Virat Kohli will be remembered as a great player, while Babar Azam…: Mudassar Nazar

Former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. Babar Azam Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Often on social media, fans of Pakistan and Babar Azam compare him with one of the great batsmen, Virat Kohli. Now former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. According to Mudassar, Kohli is one of the great players of the game, while Babar is still to make a name for himself. Kohli and Babar are counted among the best batsmen of the present era. Both the players admire each other a lot and have expressed this openly on many occasions. Fans of India and Pakistan constantly make comparisons between the two, but Mudassar believes that both the players are not even in the same league yet. Speaking to news agency PTI, he said: There is a world of difference between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam: Mudassar Nazar “I mean there’s a lot of difference between the two players. Virat will be remembered as one of the greatest players to grace the game. At the same time, Babar still has to make a name for himself.” Like watching Rohit and Kohli bat: Mudassar Nazar The 68-year-old praised Kohli and India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, saying it was a great experience to watch them bat at their peak. Mudassar said, “I love watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play. When they are at their peak and playing well, it is great to watch them play. You can sit in front of the TV for hours and watch those two play.” Rohit and Kohli were part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory. Rohit was India’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 257 runs in eight innings, while Kohli top-scored with 76 runs from 59 balls in the final. Comparison between Kohli and Babar is nonsense: Zaheer Abbas Before Mudassar, former Pakistan legend Zaheer Abbas had also termed the comparison between Kohli and Babar as baseless. Speaking at the Cricket Prediction Conclave, he was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying: He said, “Comparison is useless, Virat Kohli scores runs in every match, whereas Babar does not score runs in any match, then how can you compare? The one who scores runs is a big player.” Kohli (35) is the fourth highest run scorer in international cricket. In 535 matches (595 innings), he has scored 27,041 runs at an average of 53.23, which includes 80 centuries and 140 half-centuries. Babar has scored 13,836 runs in 294 matches (328 innings) at an average of 47.54, which includes 31 centuries and 94 half-centuries.
