DRS, 19 de julho: Gill Mixture of Dhoni-Kohli, os ganhos da BCCI da IPL Reveled & Jurel para o teste de Manchester?

Jasprit Bumrah has been asked to play the remaining two India vs England Test matches. Rishabh Pant should sit out if he can’t be India’s wicketkeeper. Shubman Gill is somewhere between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as India’s Test captain. These are all opinions of three former Indian players. An ex-coach has also stated that Rohit Sharma’s fitness is top-notch. BCCI have shared their revenue for 2023-24 and could cancel the rumoured India vs Sri Lanka series.

IND vs SL, not happening?

The IND vs SL white-ball tour may not happen after all. BCCI isn’t keen on sending Team India to Sri Lanka for 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. The tour was to happen as a replacement for the IND vs BAN series. This means that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may not play until late October.

Bumrah needs to play remaining IND vs ENG Tests

Former Indian captain and coach Anil Kumble thinks that Jasprit Bumrah has to play the two remaining Tests regardless of his fitness and workload issues. Contrary to this, India’s ex-coach says BCCI should handle the pacer with care and use him for surgical strikes.

Rohit Sharma fitness critics silence

India’s former strength and conditioning coach, Soham Desai, has silenced those who claim India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma’s fitness is up to the standard. He challenged the critics by asking how someone could be unfit if they missed just a couple of matches in 4 years.

Gill’s identity as India’s Test captain

Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar thinks that Shubman Gill is somewhere between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni as India’s Test captain. He’s yet to find himself as a leader and reckons he’ll have to decide whether he needs to be overtly aggressive like Kohli or calm, cool, and composed like Dhoni.

No Pant for Manchester Test?

India’s former head coach Ravi Shastri feels that Rishabh Pant should only play the Manchester Test if he can keep. Since it’s known that Pant is injured, a substitute won’t be allowed to take his place. Also, if he doesn’t keep still, his chances of further injuring himself increase. This could mean that Dhruv Jurel might play the fourth Test.
