India’s top order batsman Shubman Gill was seen sweating it out in the nets at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium (PCA) in Mohali ahead of India’s upcoming domestic season. He wore India’s Test jersey during practice and hit a powerful shot off a local bowler. Two months ago, he was made India’s vice-captain in ODIs and T20s and now he has a big responsibility on his shoulders, especially to prove his ability. Gill is training hard ahead of the start of India’s upcoming domestic red-ball season, especially for the Duleep Trophy which begins in four days. He will lead India A in the tournament but he needs to perform well in the Duleep Trophy matches to make it to the squad for the two Tests against Bangladesh. pic.twitter.com/sGCgHdGnqD — Khushpreet Singh Aulakh (@kp_khushpreet) September 1, 2024 Apart from Shubman Gill, big players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj will also play in this tournament.

Shubman Gill scored 73 runs in two matches at a strike rate of 137.73 in T20 Internationals.

Dinesh Karthik will be seen playing in Legends League Cricket. Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Getty Images) At the end of the year 2024, Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Test Series. On this tour, Team India will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The Indian team has managed to beat the Kangaroos on their own land the last two times, so this time Team India will be eyeing to beat Australia in their own home for the third time in a row. However, this task is not going to be easy for Team India. In fact, many Indian players who were part of the last two Australian tours are no longer part of the current Test team. In such a situation, Team India will have to look for new players. The biggest tension in front of captain Rohit Sharma will be to find replacements for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Both these players played an important role in India’s victory on the last Australia tour. Recently, when former Team India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was asked about the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on the Australia tour, he named Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Dinesh Karthik’s statement on the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane During a Q&A session with Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Both these batsmen have done really well against England in the recent home series earlier in the year. I think both of them will definitely fly to Australia and try to do their best. We will know if they can replace both Ajinkya and Pujji (Pujara). They have a big role to play, but they have the quality and caliber.” Let us tell you that the doors of return to Team India have closed for Rahane and Pujara. Ajinkya Rahane recently scored his 40th first class century against Glamorgan while playing for Leicestershire in Division 2 of County Cricket in England. However, Pujara has been away from competitive cricket for a long time. BCCI did not give place to both Rahane and Pujara in the four squads selected for the Duleep Trophy.

BCCI is going to make the job of bowlers difficult, the board is reviewing the double bouncer rule
The BCCI is reviewing the impact player as well as the double bouncer rule. IPL (Photo Source: Getty Image) Along with the impact player rule, the double bouncer rule is also under threat. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently reviewing both rules. The BCCI has introduced these rules to make the game interesting, which were specifically introduced for the men’s T20 inter-state competition, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMT). The board also tried both rules in the Indian Premier League (IPL). But now everyone has the same question in their mind, will bowlers be able to bowl two bouncers in an over in IPL 2025? Concrete information about this can be found in the coming few weeks. Let us tell you that in IPL 2024, the bowler was allowed to bowl two bouncers in an over. The double bouncer rule was welcomed as it was an important rule to help the bowlers. However, in international cricket, one bouncer is allowed in an over. BCCI is reviewing the impact player and double bouncer rules According to a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI is reviewing the much-discussed impact player rule as well as the double bouncer rule. The BCCI will decide whether to continue with these two rules or not. A state unit official said, “We understand that the impact player and two bouncer rules are the main points and no decision has been taken.” The BCCI is yet to announce the playing conditions for SMAT. It has been more than three weeks since the BCCI released the rules, guidelines and playing conditions for the other upcoming domestic events of the season. However, the state associations have no idea if these two rules will continue. The main issue is the impact player rule, which has become a topic of discussion within the cricket world. Recently Zaheer Khan supported this rule but many players and coaches have opposite views. Earlier, Rohit and Virat have also expressed their opinion on this rule.
