R Ashwin Ends Debate Over Batsmen in ODI WC Chances- ‘No Space for Sanju Samson..’
R Ashwin Ends Debate Over Batsmen in ODI WC Chances- ‘No Space for Sanju Samson..’: Ahead of ODI World Cup 2023, team India are looking for best squad. Their desperate call on experimentation was evident in the way Virat and Rohit were rested from the final two ODIs against West Indies.
Sanju Samson played a great role in the third ODI and even scored a half-century while batting at No. 4. However, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels that Samson has got “no space” in the top-4 in ODIs.

“The other player who got a chance was Sanju Samson. He scored a fifty in the ODI series. In the T20I match, he scored 12 off 12. He got a role in the middle-order. When it comes to IPL, he bats at number three or four largely. Mind you, he has got a very good record in ODIs. A very good average and he scored a 50 in the third ODI as well. And he took down spin as soon as he came in, and that’s his specialty,” Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel.

“When it comes to Team India, the number 3 and 4 slot is not open. Given Sanju’s ability and talent, we know he can change the course of he game at any point. He is a very good guy and we all want good for him. But the role we expect from Sanju when it comes to Team India is different. There is no space for him in the Top 4. Whether there will be a spot for him after the World Cup or after one or two years after the World Cup, we will have to wait and watch.

“Because Virat at 3 is a fix. Rohit and Gill are also fixed as openers. Shreyas and KL are also absolute certainties when they are fit. We need a keeper-batter alone as a backup. So, if one of KL or Shreyas is not available they need a backup at 4 or 5. But Sanju is not doing that role in IPL. He is starting to do that role only in ODIs and he has scored a 50 in that role now. That’s good news for him and Team India. I feel Sanju Samson will be ahead in the contingency plan as far as the ODI World Cup is concerned and Tilak Varma is almost there.”

Rohit Sharma Requests Cameraperson to stop Recording Sounds ‘ek audio ne to mera waat laga diya hain’
Rohit Sharma Requests Cameraperson to stop Recording Sounds ‘ek audio ne to mera waat laga diya hain’: MI’s former skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted in high spirits before his team’s last IPl league match against LSG at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 17, 2024.
Just before the 2024 Indian Premier League season, Hardik Pandya, a transfer from Gujarat Titans, was named the new captain of MI, replacing Rohit Sharma.
There have been rumors of discontent in the MI camp since this decision, and some have even suggested that the squad may have cliques.
A video that appeared before the KKR vs. MI game at Eden Gardens stoked rumors about the purported strife.

When Rohit Sharma was speaking with KKR coach Abhishek Nayar in the video, he seemed to be hinting that there had been a lot of changes in the MI camp.
Rohit can be heard saying: “Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai…. Woh unke upar hai, main ye sab pe dhyaan nahi data… (Everything is changing one by one. It depends on them, I don’t care about that). Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai. (Whatever it is, it’s my home. It’s a temple that I’ve built). Bhai mera kya, mera toh last hai (Anyway, this is my last).”

Rohit Sharma then became aware of the cameraperson’s presence and politely requested that the audio be turned off. He explained that a previous incident had caused him some difficulty, gesturing towards his conversation with Nayar.

They need one more win to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, the Titans have won five matches and lost seven matches so far. They are already out of the playoff race.
They will lock horns with Gujarat Titans in their next game on Thursday.
The team led by Pat Cummins broke several records and emerged as one of the most threatening teams in the tournament. In the last game, SRH started the innings with a bang, openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma started to smash from the first ball in the powerplay as usual and played magnificent innings.
GT lost their momentum mid-season, and despite several efforts, it failed to leave an impact.

Pitch Report:
The surface in Hyderabad is usually a batting surface, which also has the effect of dew. However, it is also good for batters. Bowlers do have some assistance, as the pacers get some early swing, and the spinners can get some turn. The temperature is likely to be around 29°C on the match day with 59% humidity and 7 km/h wind speed. There are 38% chances of precipitation during the game.
