IND vs ENG | ‘Why are we thinking about the negatives?: Rohit Sharma dismisses question on if there are any alternative plans if Hardik Pandya gets injured | Cricket News

India captain Rohit Sharma urged reporters present in the pre-match press conference of the 1st ODI vs England to not focus on the negatives when he was asked what were the alternative plans in allrounder Hardik Pandya got injured like he did in the 2023 World Cup. “Why are we thinking about the negatives? That he will get injured, this will happen, that will happen. In the minds of the selectors, there are things in our minds. I can’t say that here. But there are things. We played the World Cup when he got injured,” Rohit said. “He got injured in the 3rd or 4th match. After that, we played the whole tournament. Although we lost the final, but we played good cricket till the final. So now, I won’t think about what will happen if he gets injured. What will happen if this happens, what will happen if that happens. I think, you are playing good cricket now. So we will hope that you keep playing good cricket and nothing happens,” he added.

Sreesanth details how Hardik Pandya leaving Gujarat Titans could work to their advantage | Cricket News

Former India seamer S Sreesanth says Hardik Pandya’s departure from the Gujarat Titans will give their bowlers more freedom in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Sreesanth was referring to last year’s final where Pandya’s long discussion with Mohit Sharma affected bowler’s concentration, and he was hit for a six and a four by Ravindra Jadeja off the last two balls. Chennai Super Kings had pipped Gujarat Titans by five wickets in a rain-affected final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. “There is no Hardik in Gujarat to tell the bowlers what to bowl,” Sreesanth said on Fancode. “Sometimes you need to give the bowler that freedom to bowl. This time the captain is Gill, and I’m sure Ashish bhai (Ashish Nehra) will say let them bowl. Bowlers will also take responsibility with a young captain and sometimes, this is the advantage of having a young captain,” Sreesanth said.

Hardik Pandya kya chaand se utar ke aaya hai?: Praveen Kumar rips into Mumbai Indians skipper for skipping domestic red ball cricket | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former India player Praveen Kumar ripped into Hardik Pandya on Thursday, saying that the all rounder should be pulled up for skipping the domestic red ball tournaments and be meted out the same treatment that BCCI did to Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. “Hardik Pandya kya chaand se utar ke aaya hai? Khelna padega isko bhi. Kyun iske liye alag niyaam hain? Osko bhi board ko dhamkaana chahiye. Kyun khel lega? Teeno format khel na. Ya tu abhi 60-70 Test matches khekl chuka hain ki abhi sirf T20s khelega. Country ko zaroorat hain (Has Hardik Pandya descended from the moon? He has to play too. Why are there different rules for him? The BCCI should threaten him. Why would you play just the domestic T20 tournament? Play all three formats. Or have you played 60-70 Test matches that you will just play T20. The country needs you),” Kumar said in Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel. This is not the first time that Kumar had slammed Pandya. Earlier in the week he had criticized the Mumbai Indians …
