“Needless to say that he is a great player, but…”- Sourav Ganguly said about Virat

Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that if India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to bat with freedom like he did for his franchise RCB in the IPL. Kohli was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 and he gave a befitting reply to his trolls by showing aggressive play in the middle overs. Ganguly also advised that he should open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. His strike rate was also the best in his IPL career this season. The RCB star batsman scored 741 runs in 15 matches. His average was 61.75 and strike rate was 154.70. Ganguly has said that if Team India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to play with complete freedom. I want Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open for Team India- Sourav Ganguly During a conversation on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “I would like Virat and Rohit to open together. I want Virat to bat the same way he did for RCB in the second half of the IPL. He has to bat with freedom. Needless to say, he is a great player, but for India to do well, Virat has to bat with freedom like in the IPL. So my choice would be Virat and Rohit in the top order.” Let us tell you that Team India will start its T20 World Cup campaign from June 5, when the team will play its first match against Ireland. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on June 9. Ganguly said about the team, “The team has many great players and they are entering the tournament on the basis of some serious T20 cricket in the form of IPL. This will help them in New York. Another thing in their favour will be that their grounds are big and this will help our spinners. You can never rule out India in the World Cup, because there are so many great players in the team.

Team India will play just one practice match before the T20 World Cup, why is BCCI fighting over the venue – report

Team India will be able to play only one practice match before the start of its World Cup campaign, but no decision has been taken yet regarding the venue. Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The final match of IPL 2024 will be played on 26 May, after which Team India will start preparing for the World Cup. T20 World Cup 2024 starts from June 2 co-hosted by West Indies and USA. There will not be much time between the end of IPL 2024 and the start of the T20 World Cup, due to which Team India will have to suffer the consequences. Actually, Team India will be able to play only one practice match before the start of its World Cup campaign. However, no decision has been taken yet regarding the venue. Let us tell you how Team India will face problems in its World Cup preparations due to IPL. It is noteworthy that the league phase of IPL is ending on May 19 and the final is to be played on May 26. According to Cricbuzz, there is still a lack of clarity on why only one practice match has been scheduled. Teams usually play two practice matches before the group stage of an ICC tournament. As far as the venue of the only practice match is concerned, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying its best to organize it in New York only. This is because India has to play 3 of its four group matches in New York itself. ICC has currently scheduled India’s warm-up match in Florida. But BCCI is emphasizing that the team will be very tired after playing so much cricket due to IPL. At the same time, when the team has less time left, it does not make any sense to go to Florida for a practice match and come back to New York. However, Team India is not in much need of a practice match as their 2 warm-up matches before the start of their campaign in the ODI World Cup 2023 were canceled due to rain. Despite that, India’s performance was on top. The first batch of players will leave for the World Cup on May 26-26. Let us tell you that the first batch of India’s squad will leave for the tournament on 25-26 May. The remaining members involved in the IPL playoffs will join the team after the final. Team India is in Group A of the T20 World Cup along with Pakistan, Canada, United States and Ireland. Their campaign will begin on June 5 with a match against Ireland in New York.

Virat Kohli should open, Rohit should bat at number 4 – Matthew Hayden’s surprising statement

Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden believes that Virat Kohli should open for India along with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. This T20 World Cup will be played next month hosted by West Indies and USA. Kohli has been in great form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and is the leading run-scorer with 634 runs in 12 matches at an average of 70.44 and a strike rate of 153.51. He has opened so far this season and has scored five fifties and one century. Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma are specialist opening batsmen in India’s 15-member team for the T20 World Cup. Kohli is likely to come in to bat at number 3. However, Australia’s veteran opening batsman Hayden wants Delhi batsmen to open with Yashasvi. Virat Kohli should open, Rohit should bat at number 4 – Matthew Hayden Cricketer-turned-commentator Hayden picked Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit as the No. 3 and No. 4 batsmen respectively. Speaking to Star Sports, Hayden said, “If you have to change that combination, I would be very happy if you tell me if I can open with Kohli and Jaiswal, I would definitely say yes.” He further said, “Then I will keep Suryakumar Yadav at number three and Rohit at number four. And this top four, in my opinion, is the right combination. The reason I say this is that Virat is a master in the first six. And once the power hitting Hayden said, “Coming into the game, there are other great options including Rohit. Look at his statistics at No. 4, they are fantastic.” Yashasvi’s last IPL season was excellent. However, this year he has not been able to showcase his full potential with the bat. In 11 matches, the left-handed batsman has scored just 320 runs at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 157.64. The Rajasthan Royals batsman has only one half-century and one century to his name this season.

Former cricketer announced India’s playing XI for T20 WC 2024, these players including Hardik-KL Rahul were left out?

As per ICC guidelines, the last date to submit teams for the World Cup is May 1. Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) In the current IPL, many players are seen performing well continuously. Team India will be selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup keeping in mind the first phase of IPL. Cricket experts and former cricketers are sharing their opinions on social media about what the Indian team should be like and which players should get a chance for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in America and West Indies in June. Meanwhile, former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has given his opinion on how the team should be and which players should get a chance in the team. Venkatesh Prasad expressed his opinion about including these players in the team for T20 WC 2024. Venkatesh Prasad said that Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh should be included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. In this year’s IPL, Shivam Dubey has performed brilliantly for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since his first match. He has scored runs at a strike rate of more than 160. Dubey’s contribution could be invaluable in spin-friendly conditions in the West Indies. Not only this, it was also said by him that Dubey can be given a chance in the playing eleven along with Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh. Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability. It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave… — Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) April 8, 2024 Which players should not be included in T20 WC 2024? The former cricketer’s tweet regarding the playing eleven shows that it will be difficult for Hardik to make a place in the World Cup team. Because along with mentioning the above three players, he also said that due to the presence of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma in the team, the management will consider only the wicketkeeper-batsman position. Prasad said in a tweet, “Shivam Dubey for his ability to play big shots against spin, Surya (Kumar Yadav) the best international batsman in T20 and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability; If the Indian management finds a way to include all three of them together in the playing eleven in the T20 World Cup, it will be very beneficial. With the presence of Virat and Rohit in the team, there will be only one wicket-keeping batsman after these five.” In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the team will be formed keeping these issues in mind or not. Let us tell you that the Indian team for the upcoming World Cup can be announced by the end of April. As per ICC guidelines, the last date to submit teams for the World Cup is May 1. After this, each team will have only one chance to make changes…
