(Source – Twitter/X) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that his compatriot and former teammate Jason Gillespie will do a good job as Pakistan’s red ball coach (Test coach). Ricky Ponting and Gillespie have played a lot of cricket together for Australia before and they have a very good friendship. Ponting highlighted Gillespie’s impressive record as a coach and compared it to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has also tasted success in his brief coaching career so far. Gambhir recently won the IPL 2024 title in his only season as Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. Here is what Ricky Ponting said about Jason Gillespie while speaking on the ICC review: “Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone. I have no doubt he will face some challenges. But he is a deep thinker and as I said, he is a calm guy who does things his way.” Ponting has no doubt that Gillespie will find a way to get the best out of the Pakistani players. I am not surprised by the changes in Pakistan cricket: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said that he is not surprised by the massive changes in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Pakistan was eliminated even before reaching the Super 8 stage of the tournament due to defeat against India and America in its group. On this Ponting said- “We are all old guys who have played together, we all have a WhatsApp group. Everyone congratulated him (Gillespie) on that and wished him all the best for that role as coach. To be honest, I am not surprised at all by so many changes happening in this Pakistan team. I know it is a different format, but they had a very disappointing T20 World Cup. If you are not willing to make some changes, you are expecting similar results.”

Sachin was like David Beckham in England in the 90s – Anjali Tendulkar’s mother Sachin Tendulkar, Anjali Tendulkar & Annabelle Mehta (Photo Source: X/Twitter) It has been almost 30 years since the marriage of India’s great cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali Tendulkar.

Their relationship which started with friendship turned into love one day and after dating for 5 years, they got married on May 24, 1995. Let us tell you, Anjali is 6 years older than Sachin, but both of them always say that age is never a barrier in their relationship. Anjali Tendulkar’s mother Annabelle Mehta recently talked about the time when Sachin asked Anjali for her hand in marriage at the age of just 19. I had to look him in the eye and ask him- Annabelle Mehta Anjali’s mother Annabelle Mehta was worried that Sachin Tendulkar might be a playboy like other cricketers, so she had to look Sachin straight in the eye and ask him what he thought about her daughter. According to NDTV, Annabelle Mehta has written in her new memoir ‘My Passage to India.’ I had realised by then that Sachin was the brightest star of Indian cricket, but I was concerned about the possibility of him being a playboy like many of his fellow cricketers. Sachin was like David Beckham in England in the 90s. I had to look him in the eye and ask him how he felt about my daughter. Sachin Tendulkar immediately responded to Annabelle Mehta’s questions by saying that he wanted to marry her daughter. Anjali’s mother also revealed that she was a bit surprised by the answer of 19-year-old Sachin. ‘We want to get married’ were his exact words. I was stunned, I had always imagined Anjali marrying a tall, dark and handsome man. Sachin was dark and handsome, but even at 19 he was still a boy and so short. Anjali was taller than him, being five and a half feet. Sachin’s bouncy hair might give him another inch, but he was not tall enough for Anjali to wear high heels.

But then he did not get a place in the squad for both the white-ball series of the Sri Lanka tour. Meanwhile, former Indian player Aakash Chopra is venting his anger on the Indian management. Chopra says that if BCCI wants to invest in Avesh Khan, then they will have to give him opportunities. Avesh should have been on the Sri Lanka tour- Aakash Chopra Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, said, This is a good question because the team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that? If we want to invest in him then Avesh Khan should have been there. He should have been there on the Sri Lanka tour and should have played matches in Zimbabwe as well, where was he – nowhere to be seen. Prasidh Krishna has the potential to become a good bowler- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra has expressed his desire to see fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the T20 format.

But he got injured while playing for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. No information has been revealed about when Prasidh Krishna will be able to return. I personally rate Prasidh Krishna very highly, although his stats in T20s are not very good. He has taken a beating whenever he has played, but I would like to invest. He has the potential to become a very good bowler even at the highest level. So they should start investing in him right now and have a clear roadmap for Avesh Khan as well.
