India’s opening batsman Abhishek Sharma faces growing pressure after another disappointing performance in the first T20I against South Africa. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra criticizes Sharma’s ultra-aggressive approach, suggesting it might be hindering his progress at the international level. With three more games to go in the series, Sharma needs to find his form and justify his place in the squad.
Rohit Sharma’s inconsistent performance in the ongoing IPL 2024 season has become a cause for concern for the Indian team and experts alike. The Indian skipper has struggled to find his form, failing to score consistently and registering only one fifty-plus score in 11 matches. This has raised doubts about his readiness for the upcoming T20 World Cup in June. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra highlighted Rohit’s lack of runs in recent matches and expressed concern about his struggles against left-arm pacers, which he might face in the next match against SRH.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra acknowledges the challenges faced by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ongoing IPL 2024 after a dismal start with only one victory in eight matches. However, Chopra emphasizes the team’s resilience and loyal fanbase, expressing confidence that they can still stage a comeback. The Bengaluru-based franchise is currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, but Chopra believes they have the determination and know-how to turn things around. Meanwhile, RCB will face a formidable opponent in the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second round of the South Indian derby, with Hyderabad enjoying a strong start to the season.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has opined that it would be premature to declare that Rishabh Pant has fully regained his vintage form despite his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) as captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC). Pant has struggled to inspire a turnaround in DC’s fortunes, with the team losing five of their eight matches so far in IPL 2024. Chopra believes that Pant needs to bat higher up the order to make a more significant impact.
Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra has criticized Mumbai Indians’ (MI) bowling performance in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. Chopra highlighted that despite their strong batting lineup, MI has struggled with their bowling unit, with Jasprit Bumrah being the only exception.
