(Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has questioned the absence of senior Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as well as Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh from the four Duleep Trophy teams. He said that if Pujara was a contender for a place in the Test team, he could have proved to be an important batsman for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Senior star cricketers including captain Rohit Sharma, key batsman Virat Kohli, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have been rested from the Duleep Trophy. While Pujara and Rahane have been dropped from the team, Samson and Rinku Singh did not find a place in any of the four teams selected for the Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali said that he was surprised by the non-selection of some big names. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement about Cheteshwar Pujara Baris Ali said on his YouTube channel, “I saw the teams and I was surprised that 3-4 names are not in it. Ajinkya Rahane is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara is not there. Sanju Samson is not there. Rinku Singh is not there. Shivam Dubey has been selected. I think he is being prepared as an all-rounder. Let’s see who performs well in the Duleep Trophy.” He further added, “Pujara could have proved useful in Australia. I am surprised that he is not there despite Gautam Gambhir being there (as India’s coach). Even Rinku Singh is not in the squad. Again, keeping Gambhir in mind, it is quite surprising.” Let us tell you that apart from young Shubman Gill, players like Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been given the responsibility of captaincy in the teams for Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you that the first match of this tournament will be played on 5 September.
After the defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, it has become very important for the Indian team to correct these three things

Sri Lanka vs India, 1st ODI (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, Sri Lanka defeated India 2-0 in the three-match ODI series. In this ODI series, all the players from Sri Lanka performed very well and played an important role in their team’s victory. Indian players failed to perform well in the ODI series.

Not only this, India’s spinners also left their mark in this ODI series. However, the team’s fast bowlers could not perform well in the ODI series. Now the Champions Trophy 2025 is also to be played and before this important tournament it is very important for India to improve its fast bowling.

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer also failed to make a mark in this series, while Shubman Gill got a start but could not convert it into a big score. These three players were the strong side of the Indian team in the 2023 ODI World Cup, but they were a complete flop in the ODI series played against Sri Lanka.

Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli are the two biggest batsmen of Team India. Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid. (Image Source: BCCI/X) Former head coach of Team India Rahul Dravid has made a big statement about Indian team’s star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Dravid said that the truth is completely opposite to what fans think about captain Rohit Sharma, star batsman Virat Kohli or other big players. Dravid also made it clear that there is no ego or any kind of problem between the big players. While talking to Star Sports, the former Indian batsman said, “I believe that teams are really led by a group of senior players. They are led by the captain. So, I think it was a privilege to work with Rohit. I think he has been a fantastic leader in these two and a half years. People are really attracted to him and the team. I think that makes a lot of difference.” Managing high profile cricketers is not a difficult task- Rahul Dravid During this, Dravid also said that he never found it difficult to manage high-profile cricketers. He said, “There were many other senior players in the team, be it Virat, Jasprit Bumrah or Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket. Many Indian cricketers are big names, they are superstars and many people follow them. Sometimes people think that they will have a lot of ego and it will be very difficult to manage them. But actually it is just the opposite. A lot of these superstars are actually very humble about their preparation. They are humble about their work. And that is why they are superstars.” Dravid further said, “Look at 37-year-old Ashwin today. Even at this age, he is ready to adapt. He is ready to learn. This is just an example. Of course, at times you have to manage him, manage his body, manage the workload and there are many such things. But honestly, it was not very difficult. I had a good group of people around me and I am happy that we were able to create a good atmosphere. But a lot of credit for this goes to the captain and the seniors.”
