T20 World Cup 2024: In the final game, the Indian squad captained by Rohit Sharma beat South Africa by 7 runs to win the T20 World Cup 2024. Everyone in the nation is celebrating after that. PM Narendra Modi thanked the Indian cricket team over the phone following their victory.
Under Dhoni’s leadership, India won the T20 World Cup championship in 2007. Rohit’s captaincy has since brought home the trophy once more. India’s win has created a joyous mood throughout the country.
PM Modi commended Rohit Sharma’s T20 career and congratulated him on his outstanding captaincy. Virat Kohli‘s final-match innings and his influence on Indian cricket were lauded by the PM.
The Prime Minister also commended Surya Kumar Yadav for the crucial catch and Hardik Pandya‘s bowling for the final over. He also acknowledged the work of Jasprit Bumrah. Rahul Dravid was also commended by the PM for his services to Indian cricket.
Rahul Dravid’s incredible coaching journey has shaped the success of Indian cricket.
His unwavering dedication, strategic insights and nurturing the right talent have transformed the team.

IND vs AFG: One of the best players who contributed to the Indian team in many wins is Rohit Sharma. He batted brilliantly against Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup 2023 and hit the fastest century for India. India was given a goal of 273 runs to win from Afghanistan.
Rohit Sharma hit Afghanistan with a powerful bat. It took Rohit just 30 balls to score a half-century and 63 balls to score a century. In the history of the World Cup, he has become the player to score a century for India in the quickest time possible. He has broken Kapil Dev’s previous record. In the 1983 ODI World Cup match against Zimbabwe, Kapil hit a century in just 72 deliveries.
In the current match against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma has scored 129 runs in 78 balls, hitting 16 fours and five long sixes. He reached 1000 runs in the ODI World Cup after hitting 23 runs against Afghanistan. He has broken the record for the quickest player to 1,000 runs. In addition, he is now the fourth Indian player to surpass 1,000 runs in an ODI World Cup.
In absence of the team’s regular captain, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya will serve as captain for the current game. The team’s captain for the final two games of the series will be Rohit.
Rohit Sharma withdrew from the opening ODI of the series for family reasons, the BCCI had already said.
Team India will be focused on the World Cup preparations when it takes the field against Australia later this year. After three years, the two teams will square off on this field.
India and Australia have played four matches so far. Indian teams only won one of these. In three matches, Australia was successful.
Kuldeep Yadav has been selected by the All India Senior Selection Committee to play for India in the third and final ODI. In the second over of the second ODI, India’s skipper Rohit Sharma was hurt while fielding.
He was examined by the BCCI medical staff and had a scan at a nearby Dhaka hospital. He won’t be able to participate in the last ODI since he departed for Mumbai to speak with a specialist. Later, it will be decided if he is available for the forthcoming Test series.
Additionally, following the first ODI, quick bowler Kuldeep Sen also complained of back discomfort. After being examined by the BCCI medical staff, he was told to skip the second ODI. Kuldeep has been given a strain injury diagnosis and will not be participating in the series.
Deepak Chahar, a fellow fast bowler, also missed the series after sustaining a left hamstring injury during the second ODI. Kuldeep and Deepak will both now present themselves to the NCA for additional treatment of their wounds.
Unfavorable news for India arrived the day before the first ODI against Bangladesh. Mohammed Shami, the team’s primary fast bowler, will not play in the three-match ODI series. Shami was hurt during the training session, according to PTI. Consequently, he will be unable to participate in the ODI series.
Additionally, India must play Bangladesh in a two-Test series, and Shami may not be available for this matchup as well. Shami’s injury’s extent is still unknown. Shami is a crucial member of Team India as they prepare for the ODI World Cup that will be hosted the following year.
The Indian team is returning from its trip to Bangladesh with its regular captain, Rohit Sharma, and its key players. Mohammed Shami was a member of the team that competed in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He did not, however, participate in the New Zealand tour. A source close to the BCCI reportedly told the PTI that Shami damaged his hand while practicing following the T20 World Cup. The National Cricket Academy requested that he report there (NCA). Shami decided against traveling to Bangladesh on December 1 with the Indian team for this reason.
Also possible to be out of the test series
Mohammed Shami’s injury has not yet been fully determined. After the ODI against Bangladesh, India has two Test matches, and Shami might not participate in this series too. In Test matches without Jasprit Bumrah, Shami must be the leader of the fast-bowling unit. In such a scenario, Rohit Sharma, the captain, and Rahul Dravid, the coach, may become more worried if the player does not recover in time.
In fact, for Team India to have any chance of reaching the ICC World Test Championship final, they must win every game. Beginning on December 14, the first Test in the series versus Bangladesh will be played.
India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2022 Updates: India and Pakistan, longtime rivals in cricket, started their trip to the Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai on August 28. Rohit Sharma‘s squad defeated Babar Azam’s team by a margin of five wickets. India is facing Pakistan for the first time since losing by a 10-wicket margin to Babar Azam’s team in the T20 World Cup last year. The Pakistani cricket team scored 147 runs in 19.5 overs. It took the Indian cricket team only 19.4 overs to win the match.
Hardik Pandya, who led India with his bowling and batting in a dramatic India-Pakistan match, is solely responsible for the victory. Hardik Pandya was India’s standout bowler and batsman, initially posting a 3/25 line and then registering an unbeaten 33 off 17 pitches. He won the match by hitting a six off the fourth ball of the last over.
PM Modi congratulates the team India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Indian men’s cricket team for a strong start to their Asia Cup campaign after they defeated Pakistan by five wickets in an exciting game in Dubai.

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will hold four matches from August 27 to September 11 while the Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host nine matches, including the championship game.
It is the most successful team in the tournament, with seven championships. The event will be placed in the T20 format this time around, as opposed to the ODI format that was used for the last edition.
The Indian cricket squad has departed for Dubai in preparation for the Asia Cup 2022, but this has also resulted in a significant setback for the group. Rahul Dravid, the head coach of Team India, tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. He isn’t going to Dubai with the team, report claim.
As of now, Rahul Dravid has not yet joined the rest of the group. Let us inform you that Rahul Dravid skipped the recently finished three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. Along with Vikram Rathor, the batting coach, and Paras Mhambrey, the bowling coach, he was placed on rest by the senior selection committee. After Rahul Dravid’s corona report is positive, VVS Laxman can participate in the Asia Cup 2022.
JUST IN: Rahul Dravid won't be travelling to the UAE, immediately at least. In his absence, arrangements are being made to send VVS Laxman to join the Indian team at the Asia Cup.https://t.co/2gVLLHpwhE
Jasprit Bumrah, a renowned bowler for India, won’t be participating in the Asia Cup owing to a back issue. Harshal Patel, who is also fighting to be well enough for the T20 World Cup, won’t be playing in this competition for India.
India-Pakistan match on August 28
Let us inform you that India will play Pakistan in Dubai on August 28, one day after the first game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. India’s Asia Cup captain is Rohit Sharma. At the same time, Babar Azam is the captain of the Pakistan cricket team. After not playing together in many games, India’s top players will get together for the Asia Cup. Virat Kohli, who is trying to find his form, will be the focus of attention during this event.
IND vs ENG 2nd T20: In the second of three T20 matches between India and England, Birmingham will host the game. The Team India playing XI will undergo numerous changes for this encounter. Some players that participated in the first game did not play in the following two games, while other players joined the team. A player who is regarded as a friend of the team’s captain, Rohit Sharma, has also joined the squad for this game.
The focus of Team India will be on winning this game and the fourth straight T20 series in England. Rishabh Pant, a powerful wicketkeeper-batsman, was added to the team prior to this game. Pant missed the first game because he needed rest following the most recent Test match. The starting lineup for this game may include Rishabh Pant.
These players also entered
Numerous seasoned players will now play in this series in addition to Rishabh Pant. It features players like Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, and Virat Kohli. For the test match, all of these players were in the opening game. There will undoubtedly be numerous alterations to the starting XI following the addition of these individuals, with Rishabh Pant always coming in first.
Rohit Sharma, the current captain of the Indian cricket team, does not have much time left to do the captaincy. The Indian cricket team has 3 such strong cricketers, who can snatch the captaincy of Test, ODI, and T20 from Rohit Sharma. All these three batsmen are also experts in very stormy batting.
Looking at the age of Rohit Sharma, his rule will not last long in the Indian cricket team. Rohit Sharma is currently 35 years old and there are 3 such dangerous cricketers, who can take the captaincy of the Indian cricket team in Test, ODI, and T20 from Rohit Sharma. Let’s take a look at those 3 players:
1) Rishabh Pant
Team India can choose Rishabh Pant as its next captain. In the last few years, Pant’s place in all three formats has been confirmed. Rishabh Pant is an intelligent person. His skills are ideal for becoming a captain. As the captain of the Delhi Capitals in the IPL, Pant has done a great job.
Rishabh Pant
2) Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, 27, grew up in Mumbai and began playing cricket for the Indian national team in 2017. The Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) captain was Iyer, who led the team during the 2018 IPL. Under his captaincy, Delhi Capitals reached the final of IPL 2020. Considering this, it would not be incorrect to identify him as the main contender for the captaincy post-World Cup 2023. In this season, Kolkata Knight Riders made Shreyas Iyer their captain, which also opened up opportunities for him to captain Team India.

3) Shubman Gill
During India’s tour of Australia, Shubman Gill played his first international test. Shubman Gill played a key role in India’s series victory over the world’s best bowler on that tour, Pat Cummins. During the 2019 Deodhar Trophy, Shubman Gill captained the team. A century of 143 runs had been scored by Gill in India C’s first match as captain. Under the direction of Shubman Gill, the Indian team C traveled till the finals. After the 2023 World Cup, Shubman Gill may be tasked with leading the Indian team.
