Who will be the wicket-keeper of the Indian team?
But before the World Cup, the question now in the minds of many is which wicket-keeper batsman will make it to the main XI of the Indian team? Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson?
All cricket lovers were eagerly waiting to know who to pick as a wicket-keeper in the 15 member Indian team before the World Cup squad was announced.
All cricket lovers were eagerly waiting to know who to pick as a wicket-keeper in the 15 member Indian team before the World Cup squad was announced.
There was anxiety over whether Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson would get a place.
Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant, who has been away from cricket for a long time after the accident, made a comeback in the just-concluded IPL. He has also performed very well in the IPL this time.
Similarly Sanju Sams, who is captaining Rajasthan Royals, is also in good form. He has scored over 500 runs in parallel to leading the team to the playoffs.
In such a situation, there were reports of which wicket-keeper would be selected by the selectors for the T20 World Cup.
But putting an end to all speculations, on the basis of the latest performance, both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have been included in the squad by the selectors.
The Indian team has already arrived in New York for the World Cup and started training for the first time on May 30. Both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have also been seen batting for a long time in the nets in the practice camp.
This is how the two continue to practice but it is still not certain which cricketer will make it to the main XI between the two.
The most important thing, however, is that both these cricketers are very important for the team management.
Even after all this, it is almost certain that the team management is more keen on giving Rishabh Pant a place in the main XI.
Because in international cricket, Pant has given India a taste of winning matches by standing on the field like a hero in times of crisis of many teams.
Pant also has the experience of playing two T20 World Cups each.
Above all, another ‘advantage’ from Pant is that he is a left-handed batsman. So he is more likely to be placed in the main XI.
Pant has so far scored 987 runs with an average strike rate of 22.4 with an average strike rate of 22.4 by playing 66 T20Is.
Contrary to Pant’s experience and records, however, Sanju Samsen does not have much international T20 experience.
Sanju has appeared for India in just 25 T20 Is. Samson’s international T20 career has also gone down a long way. He has not even got a chance to play consistently.
Only their IPL records are acceptable for comparing Pant and Samsen. Because both of them have been playing consistently in the IPL.
If one looks at the just-concluded IPL, Pant as Captain of Delhi has scored 446 runs in a total of 13 matches with an average strike rate of 155.40 with an average of 40.55 runs.
In contrast, Samson has scored 531 runs as Rajasthan Royals captain with an average of 48.27 runs in 15 matches, with the help of a strike rate of 153.47. The performance in the IPL of both of them in comparison is almost the same.
However, the batting order of both of them is different. Samson has come out to bat at no. 3 for Rajasthan while Pant comes in to bat at no. 4 for Delhi. But Samson can also bat at no. 4 when needed.
So the Indian team management can send him to the crease as an aggressive batsman against the spinners at no. 4. Samson’s record against spinners is also good.
If the Indian team management wants a finisher then one can look at Rishabh Pant. Pant as a finisher is the right option for the Indian team.
However, the final decision will be taken by the team management. It will also involve the issue of captain Rohit’s choice.
Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are two such wicket-keeper batsmen in Indian cricket that both are very talented and skilled. Both can be played in the main XI if desired.
At a time when social media is abuzz about who should be included in the squad between Pant and Samson, a statement by former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has created a lot of buzz.
Yuvraj said about both of them- “Both Pant and Samson are in great form. But I would like to give the first priority to Pant. ”
Yuvraj Singh however explains the reason behind it as well. According to him, Pant is the left-handed replacement for the Indian team. Secondly Pant has the ability to win matches in complex situations. He has already given proof of this.
Like Yuvraj Singh, another former India wicket-keeper batsman Parthiv Patel has also preferred Pante among Pant and Samson.
According to him, Samson has been in good form lately, no one has any doubt about that. Even after that he wants to see Pant in the main XI.
As a reason for this, he said that left-handed batsmen are needed in the main XI. The presence of left-handed batsman Pant in the Indian main XI adds to the batting diversity.
That’s how the buzz around wicket keeper batsmen, an important part of the Indian cricket team, continues. A debate has also erupted on social media among fans of Pant and Samson.
It is certain, however, that such a debate does not matter in the formation of the original XI. Skipper Rohit and the management will definitely take the right decision as to who will be placed between Pant and Samson in the Indian team.
Cricket fans will have to wait till June 5 to know about that decision or witness Pant or Samson after the wicket on the field of play. India will play their first match of the World Cup against Ireland in New York on June 5.
Who will be the new head coach of the Indian cricket team?
The names of several former cricketers have been chanted for the post. The BCCI is on the lookout for a full-time head coach with an eye on the 2026 ODI World Cup.
Along with the head coach, he is also thinking about batting, bowling and fielding coaches.
The tenure of the current head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid, has come to an end but his tenure for the T20 World Cup has been extended by a few days.
After the T20 World Cup, the Indian team will get a new head coach. But the question is who will be this new head coach?
New head coach may be a member of 2011 World Cup-winning squad
Gautam Gambhir, who plays a very aggressive role on the field, could be the captain of the Indian team.
Gautam Gambhir, who is currently a mentor in Kolkata Knight Riders, was a mentor to the Lucknow Super Giants in the last two seasons of the IPL.
Both times he took this team to the playoffs. This time Kolkata Knight Riders have also been taken to the playoffs and have managed to top the points table.
Although the 42-year-old former cricketer does not have the training experience, the success, aggressive approach and game he has achieved in his career as a cricketer and mentor.
The BCCI can choose the post because of the mindset that can go to all levels for the players. Gambhir is also very close to current captain Rohit Sharma.
But for Gambhir, the relationship with a section of cricketers, including Virat Kohli, has become a matter of concern. Virat Kohli is still one of the most important members of the Indian cricket team.
The Indian cricket team can’t be imagined today except Kohli. In such a scenario, there is no possibility that Gambhir will be upset if he is given the responsibility of the head coach of the Indian cricket team.
The former head coach of the Australian cricket team is also in this race.
He has served as the head coach of Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL. Accordingly, he has close relations with many members of the Indian cricket team.
The mind of indian cricketers is understood. The 53-year-old former Australian cricketer is also likely to appear in the BCCI trial.
VVS Laxman may also be promoted
It was only after acquiring that experience that he was given the responsibility of head coach of the Indian cricket team. Similarly, VVS Laxman may also be given the responsibility of head coach of the Indian cricket team.
The role of this NCA in the formation of the Indian cricket team, in the creation of cricketers in India is immense. VVS Laxman has also served as the head coach of the Indian Under-19 cricket team.
Rahul Dravid again invited to apply for the post
According to national media reports, Rahul Dravid has not expressed interest in applying for the post again.
He will quit after the T20 World Cup. But several former cricketers and current cricketers have urged him to apply for the post again. Otherwise, Rahul Dravid is needed in Tests.
The senior cricketer of the Indian cricket team wants him to be the coach of the Test team. But since the BCCI has invited applications as full time head coach rahul dravid will not call for the post.
However, as senior cricketers are interested, if Rahul Dravid thinks of coaching the Test team, the BCCI is likely to appoint him only as a format specialist coach. So now everything depends on Rahul Dravid.
The Indian team, which is in the USA to play the upcoming World Cup after playing the IPL
The Indian team, which arrived in the US without Virat Kohli, started training on Wednesday morning.
In this year’s T20 World Cup to be held in the United States and The West Indies, all of India’s matches will start at 10.30 am local time and hence Rohit Bahini has also preferred the morning hours for practice as well.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who is not going to travel together with the Indian team for some personal reasons, is on his way to the US on Thursday.
He is scheduled to join the Indian team on Friday. However, uncertainty over whether Virat will take part in the preparatory match on June 1 is yet to be cleared.
The most important thing is the USA environment. The Indian team, which played in the midst of heavy heat wave at various stadiums in India during the IPL, has had the effect of winter in the USA.
It is in this context that the US is trying to integrate with the weather. Accordingly, the associate coaches have prepared the players to engage with such an environment before the net practice.
In New York City, USA, the current temperature is 25 to 28 degrees Celsius and the humidity is also very low.
Accordingly, the associate coaches have prepared the players to engage with such an environment before the net practice.
It is to be noted that 14 players of the Indian team started the net practice with short runs. Then he scores a shuttle. In the midst of practice, cricketers are also seen playing football.
The Indian team’s practice is in another place instead of the Nassaw County Cricket Stadium where there are enough facilities to practice. All the players except Virat Kohli are participating in this exercise.
All the other players except two players in the team have also been seen practicing bowling and batting in the nets after warming the body at the start of the practice.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Yashasvi Jaiswal refrained from participating in bowling and batting practice. There is, of course, no reason behind this. Both arrived in New York a little late.
Interestingly, the pitches in New York have been made like bouncy wickets in Australia. There has been uneven bounce on wickets like Australia.
Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant spend a lot of time in the nets and Hardik Pandya is seen practicing both bowling and batting.
Soum Desai, the strength and conditioning coach of the Indian team, said about the practice: “The players have played the IPL for two months. They were not in touch with us.
So now our aim is to know which position they are in right now and prepare them accordingly before the World Cup. We have started our first warm up. ”
Meanwhile, for the first time, Indian players are very excited to play cricket in New York. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is very excited to play the World Cup in New York.
Jadeja said that he will be playing cricket for the first time in New York and it would be great to play cricket here.
