Rahul will return to rhythm, if given more chances: Sourav

Rahul will return to rhythm, if given more chances: Sourav

Lokesh Rahul’s off-form is raising questions about his place in the team this time. On the other hand, there is talk of taking Shubaman, who is in great form, into the team. But now who should be given a chance, the failed Rahul or the successful Shubman? Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly expressed his opinion on this matter.

 

Rahul can play comfortably anywhere, in opening or middle order. But now his time is going bad. That’s why this star opener of India is being criticized. And this is natural, said Sourav Ganguly. He said, “If you don’t score runs for India, then you have to listen to criticism. It’s normal. Not only Rahul, many cricketers have been criticized before.”

 

However, this former president also explained why Rahul is being given a chance despite his failure. He said, “All the cricketers in the team are under a lot of pressure now. The board is keeping an eye on everyone. And maybe Rahul is important to the team management. At the end of the day, it all depends on what the coach and captain think. Maybe Rahul is going through a bad time, but maybe the team management believes he is good.”

 

Sourav is not in favor of dropping Rahul just because he has performed poorly in a few matches. He said, “But Rahul has done well in the past. And that’s why everyone’s expectations are high on him now. And because he’s playing badly now, everyone is criticizing him. But I hope, if Rahul is given more opportunities, he will surely regain his lost rhythm.”

 

Sourav also explained the reason for not returning to Rahul’s rhythm. He said, “The ball spins on India’s wicket, there is less bounce. That’s why it’s difficult for the batsmen to get back into rhythm. But Rahul should not give up. I think he lacks technique as well as confidence. And he needs to look at that.”

 

Meanwhile Sourav also talks about getting Shubman’s place. According to him Shubman is in rhythm, but he has to wait more. He said, “Shubaman is doing well. And I am sure he will get many opportunities in the coming days. The team management has faith in him. That is why he is getting opportunities in white ball cricket. But I think the management is now saying that he has to wait more.”

 

Meanwhile, amid so much discussion and criticism, Rahul went to Mahakal temple with his wife. They also performed Mahakal puja there together. Some of the netizens claim that Rahul may have reached the temple of Mahakal to regain his lost rhythm.

Former cricketers opened up about Bangladesh – England series

Former cricketers opened up about Bangladesh - England series

England is going to face Bangladesh in ODI and T20 series. And they are strong team in both these formats. England is World Cup champions in T20, the ODI World Cup champions are also these Englishmen. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is also very strong in ODIs at home. How is this bilateral series of Bangladesh – England going to be? Four former cricketers of the national team are looking for an answer to this question.

 

Rakibul Hasan: This former captain of the Bangladesh team thinks that Bangladesh will win the ODI by 2-1. But Bangladesh has to do well in T20. As England will play aggressive cricket, the bowlers will need to bowl well, as well as fielding should be well to handle them. However, he is optimistic about several left-handed batsmen of Bangladesh. And in this case, importance should also be given to fitness, said Rakibul.

 

Gazi Ashraf Hossain: He is the captain of Bangladesh’s first international match. He also thinks that Bangladesh is strong enough in ODI. They will win the series 2-1 against England. But the condition is that the wicket should be like BPL. He thinks that Bangladesh’s batsmen will not have an easy task if they want to beat England in a wicket of 220 runs or less. That is why he thinks it is better to build a sporting wicket. And then Bangladesh can win both matches in Dhaka. Because it will be difficult for Bangladesh to win on the wicket of Chittagong.

 

Athar Ali Khan: According to the former cricketer and current commentator of the Bangladesh national team, it is not possible to beat Bangladesh in ODIs. He said that captain Tamim has returned to the team. But he is unwilling to think of England as weak. He said that the original England team did not come, but those who came were no less strong. But Bangladesh is unstoppable at home. This is where Bangladesh is ahead. And once the ODI series is won, the confidence will increase. Which can also bring victory in T20.

 

Khaled Masud: He also put Bangladesh ahead in ODI. His prediction is that Bangladesh will win the ODI series by 2-1. But he feels wickets will not be available like in BPL. He believes that the Tigers will be able to get more benefits at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. So, Bangladesh can win both ODIs in Mirpur. However, this former captain of Bangladesh put England ahead on the wicket of Chittagong. England is already ahead in T20 cricket. And he thinks that there are better quality bowlers in England than the kind of bowlers that the Bangladeshi batsmen have played in the BPL.

Babar Azam clarifies the reason for standing by Kohlis side at difficult times

Virat Kohli, one of the best batsmen of the time, has regained his lost rhythm since last year. But there was a time when he had to fight hard to get run. But the run was not found in his bat. Criticism was not less about him. And at that time, Babar Azam, one of Pakistan’s best batsmen, stood by his side. But why did Babar give support to Kohli when he was in trouble? After so long, the Pakistan captain revealed the matter himself.

 

During India’s tour of England, things were not going well for Kohli. At that time Pakistan captain Babar Azam tweeted to Kohli. He wrote, “Times may not be going well now. But these tough times will pass one day. Just keep yourself mentally strong. Good times will surely come.” And Kohli also replied to this tweet. Thanking the Pakistan captain, he wrote, “Thank you. You shine brighter, may you have a better path ahead. Go further in life. Wish you all the best.”

 

The tweets of two of the best batsmen of the two arch-rival countries started a stir on social media. Now Babar Azam opened up with that tweet. Recently he said in an interview, “A person’s life can have good or bad times. Same goes for a cricketer. His career can have both ups and downs. At that time, I thought, if I tweet something, it might help someone. So, I did. And look, I myself am a cricketer. And as a cricketer, I should stand by every cricketer going through tough times. And that’s what I did.”

 

Babar added, “Look, you only know what other people think of you when you’re going through the toughest time of your career. And honestly, that was the right time for me. I thought, maybe something positive can come out of it. That’s something that can help Kohli. That’s why I tweeted that.”

 

Meanwhile, Kohli made a great comeback last year. He scored his 71st career century against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. After that, within a few days, he got the 72nd, 73rd and 74th centuries. India – Australia Test series is currently going on at home. Although Kohli has not yet seen a big run there.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings outfield report

With the possibility of the worried wicket slowing down under the lights, both captains will want to bat first at this venue.

During the game, there will be largely clouds surrounding the arena, as the temperature will be around 24 degrees. While there is a 20% probability of rain, the humidity will also peak around 48%.

With a speedy outfield and plenty of steady bounce allowing the ball to come neatly to the bat, this is an excellent site for the hitter. The spinners, on the other hand, may receive the odd turn.
