“Not Pleasing To…”: Rohit Sharma On India’s 6-Wickets-For-0-Run Collapse vs South Africa In Second Test | Cricket News

“If We Have To Win Test Matches…”: Rohit Sharma’s Honest Admission After Embarrassing Loss To South Africa | Cricket News

[ad_1] India skipper Rohit Sharma had no qualms about admitting that his team was simply not good enough to challenge South Africa, putting the blame for the embarrassing innings and 32 run loss in the first Test on the lack of collective effort. India put up a shoddy show both with bat and ball as they were bundled out for 131 in 34.1 overs in their second innings after they allowed South Africa to score 408 in 108.4 overs in their first essay. The visitors had scored 245 in the first innings."We were not good enough to win. Having been put in to bat, KL (Rahul) batted well to get us that score but then we didn't exploit the conditions with the ball and then again didn't show up today with the bat," said Rohit during the post-match presentation."If we have to win Test matches, we have t...

‘Why Would You Go If Not Made Captain?’: Ex-India Star On Hardik Pandya’s Big Mumbai Indians Move | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo Hardik Pandya (left) and Rohit Sharma.© BCCIIn the biggest player trade in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, Hardik Pandya is likely to join Mumbai Indians (MI) from Gujarat Titans (GT). It is worth noting that Hardik made his IPL debut with MI back in 2015. He was released by the franchise ahead of the 2022 IPL auction and GT picked the player and named him the captain. Hardik-led GT won the title that year and reached the final the following season. While reacting to expected move of the player, former India batter Aakash Chopra pointed out that why would Hardik join Mumbai if he is not made the captain."A rumour is doing the rounds that Hardik is moving towards Mumbai. It has been heard, no confirmation has come. If he is leaving, firstly Gujarat are releasing him...

Waisa hona chahiye, aisa hona chahiye. Pichli baar maine 5 centuries kiye, but hum semi-final mein haar gaye. Toh hum nahi chahte vo ho. Toh sab kuch 2019 year ke jaisa nahi hona chahiye.
