Former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg believes David Warner would struggle against Shaheen Afridi in the T20 World Cup 2021 second semi-final.
Rahul Chahar was a member of India’s T20 World Cup squad. Because of his faster and flatter leg-spin trajectory, he was chosen over the more experienced Yuzvendra Chahal. However, he only got one chance in the competition. Then bowling four wicketless overs for 30 runs against Namibia in a dead rubber.
Sunil Gavaskar expressed optimism in an interview with Sports Today that the selectors would explain the reasons for his absence to the 22-year-old spinner.
“I am pretty certain that Rahul Chahar would be wondering what he has done that he’s not in this 16 that has been announced. He was good enough to be in the 15 for the World Cup. He got one opportunity in which he gave away 7.5 runs an over. So he will be certainly wondering what did he do wrong. I hope that somebody from the selection committee would tell him the reason [why] he’s out of this squad.” Sunil Gavaskar said
Rahul Chahar’s form began to deteriorate in the second part of the IPL. He had 11 wickets in seven games on the India leg. In the UAE, though, he only took two wickets in four matche
Despite being overlooked for the New Zealand series. Rahul Chahar has been included in the India ‘A’ squad for the South Africa tour. He’ll be looking to restore his form and stake a bid for a spot in the starting lineup.
Venkatesh Iyer
Venkatesh Iyer, an all-rounder, is one of the most noteworthy new faces in the Indian T20I squad. Iyer, according to Sunil Gavaskar, might be used in the lower order for India.
Iyer, the former captain had hoped, would be given more opportunities than past all-rounders, who had only been given a few chances. In an apparent allusion to Hardik Pandya. Sunil Gavaskar stated that Iyer will ensure competition for the all-berth rounder’s and that no one “takes his place for granted.
“Wouldn’t be a bad idea at all. Look, down the order [batting] at six or seven with his medium pace stuff, because you are talking about a four-over spell – if you can do that then you’ve got another option. I think for the last three-four years we have just been fixated on one option. To the extent that we probably didn’t deal with Vijay Shankar and Shivam Dube the way we should have. But, here, hopefully, Venkatesh Iyer will get more opportunities than these two guys got because that might give us the options. And once you have options and competitions then nobody takes his place in the team for granted.” Sunil Gavaskar said
The three Twenty20 Internationals will begin on November 17 in Jaipur. Beginning off India’s new T20I era under Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid’s leadership.
