This former Indian cricketer said, “For the last one year, cruelty against minorities has been going on in Bangladesh and these days Hindus are being killed. That entire community will disappear, they have already been reduced to half. On our left side, the same has happened in Pakistan.

gave example of pakistan

The bowler beats the batsman by throwing in-swing balls several times in the video. He also bowled a beamer ball, on which the batsman hit a powerful shot.

The Indian team has been announced for the 2026 T20 World Cup, due to which the exclusion of Shubman Gill was much talked about. Now former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has prepared a squad for the T20 World Cup of those players who have not been selected in the original squad of the World Cup. The surprising thing is that Chopra has also kept Shubman Gill out of his 13-member squad. Besides, he has also prepared an alternative playing eleven for the World Cup.

Aakash Chopra handed over the responsibility of opening to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rituraj Gaikwad. Akash believes that Gaikwad is an excellent batsman, on the other hand, according to him, it is unfortunate that Jaiswal has been dropped from the team despite his explosive batting and being in form. He has also selected KL Rahul, he can also be seen as an opening option.

Shreyas Iyer captain, this batsman in middle order

Aakash Chopra made Shreyas Iyer the captain. He has included 3 wicketkeeper batsmen in his squad in the form of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Jitesh Sharma. Jitesh had made the most of the opportunities he got in the recent T20 series against Australia and South Africa, yet he did not get a place in the actual World Cup squad. Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan have been selected as wicketkeepers in the real World Cup squad. He has handed over the role of fast bowling all-rounder to Nitish Kumar Reddy. Krunal Pandya will play the role of spin bowling all-rounder in his team.

Return of veteran among bowlers

In the alternate squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, Aakash Chopra has selected Yuzvendra Chahal as the main spinner, who has not played any international match for Team India after August 2023. Apart from Deepak Chahar and Mohammad Siraj, he has selected Bhuvneshwar Kumar for fast bowling. Kumar has 90 wickets in T20, but he has not played any T20 match for the Indian team after November 2022. At the same time, Mohammed Shami, who is out of Team India, has also been given a place in the team by Aakash Chopra.

Aakash Chopra’s alternate squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rishabh Pant, Jitesh Sharma, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra has revealed that former England all-rounder Moeen Ali once trolled him. Chopra told that during England’s tour of India in 2016, when he expressed his opinion about Moeen Ali, he was trolled.

Aakash Chopra, while commenting at that time, had pointed out a flaw in Moeen Ali’s batting, which the former England star did not like. This left-handed player scored a century in the fifth and last Test of the series against India and then trolled Aakash Chopra on social media.

Aakash Chopra said on a YouTube channel, “A fellow cricketer trolled me. If fans are trolling you, you get used to it. It happened when I was working for Cricinfo and while doing some analysis, I talked about the problems Moeen Ali was having in playing the short ball. We made a demo which showed why he couldn’t play the short ball. It happened during the Chennai Test and he scored a century later in that match.”

Aakash Chopra further said, “The same evening he made a tweet in which he posted my statistics. He was clearly angry. Since he was a fellow cricketer, I replied to him that at least you have no problem with my analysis. You have a problem with my statistics, I agree, but you did not find any fault in my analysis because now it is my job.”

The former Indian batsman said, “Interestingly, the next morning Ishant Sharma was bowling and India had deployed three fielders in the deep. Bouncers were bowled right from the start. He hit a four and then got out. I thought my point was accepted but of course, I could not go to Moeen and say, look, my analysis was right. However, he later apologised.

Ravindra Jedeja IPL Trade: Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has given the reason for the trade of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to Rajasthan Royals (RR). This trade is one of the biggest trades in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which Sanju Samson went to Chennai, while Jadeja and Sam Curran joined Rajasthan. The surprising thing in this is that Sanju Samson went to CSK for Rs 18 crore, which was his old fee, but Ravindra Jadeja has joined RR for Rs 14 crore, which was reduced from his fee of Rs 18 crore.

Why the cut in Jadeja’s fees?

While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra has given the reason for Jadeja’s fee cut. He said, ‘Rajasthan has got Jadeja, but he has reduced his fees. I am wondering whether he got the fees reduced and left CSK? Because the price of a player cannot be changed without his consent. Chopra emphasized that why would any player reduce his fees, especially when he has been such a big match winner for his old team. He said, ‘Jadeja has taken Rs 4 crore less to leave Chennai, which is very surprising.’

Jadeja ‘greed’ for captaincy

While talking in that video, Akash said that maybe Jadeja was bored with the environment of Chennai and did not want to live there. However, this could have been done by going to the auction also, but the biggest question that Akash raised was whether Jadeja was lured by Rajasthan for captaincy. Was this the incentive for which Jadeja went to Rajasthan? This is very interesting, but there could be some other reason behind it.

The cricket world has also been shocked by the explosion in a car near the Red Fort on Monday evening. There was an explosion in a car near the Red Fort metro station, causing chaos in the vicinity. More than 10 people have lost their lives in this incident and it is being told that more than 20 people have been injured. Security has been increased in entire Delhi and surrounding areas. Many other cricketers including Gautam Gambhir have expressed condolences on this tragic incident.

What did Indian cricketers say?

Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir was one of the first cricketers to react to this incident. Responding via social media, he said, “Delhi blast My condolences to those who died. May God give strength to the families of the deceased and pray for the speedy recovery of the injured.”

Expressing grief, former India opener Shikhar Dhawan said, “Deeply saddened to hear the news of the dead in the car blast near the Red Fort in Delhi. My prayers are with the victims and their families. Everyone stay safe and take care.”

Fast bowler Ishant Sharma also reacted to this tragic incident. He also wrote through social media, “I pray for peace in Delhi and strength to all. There is an unbreakable spirit in our city. Together we will emerge stronger.”

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra also wished everyone to stay healthy. At the same time, former Team India captain Anil Kumble also prayed to give strength to the families of the deceased in this sad time.

The auction process for the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) is likely to take place in mid-December. The deadline for franchises to submit the list of their retained and released players is November 15, meanwhile there is news that Sunrisers Hyderabad can release Heinrich Klaasen. This will also be shocking because the team had retained him for Rs 23 crore in the last edition. However, the former Indian cricketer does not think that Hyderabad will release Klaasen.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that the chances of Sunrisers Hyderabad releasing Heinrich Klaasen are very slim. However, the former player also said that in the last few years we have seen strange things in IPL.

The last date for all 10 teams to declare their retention players before the auction is likely to be November 15. The auction may take place in the second week of next month (December). According to a report in Times of India, Sunrisers Hyderabad management is considering releasing Klaasen before the auction. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra shared his views on this report and said that perhaps Hyderabad is not keen on releasing Klaasen Ko.

Aakash Chopra said, “There is a lot of talk about Heinrich Klaasen. There are reports that Sunrisers Hyderabad may consider releasing him as it will save Rs 23 crore. I am thinking, you don’t buy a player for Rs 23 crore just to keep him for a year. Then, you release him and buy him back. I don’t think that will happen. As far as I know, there will be no RTM (Right To Match) also because it is a mini There will be an auction.”

Aakash Chopra further said, “Why would they release him? I think it’s just a rumour. I don’t think Heinrich Klaasen will be released so easily and sent to the auction. But, strange things have happened in the past too, so let’s see. We’ll wait and see.”

Former India cricketer Akash Chopra has predicted that Karun Nair will rarely be able to return to Team India. Australia A team is going to visit India soon, where Nair has not found a place in the squad of 2 unofficial Test matches. Karun Nair is the same batsman who returned to Team India after 7 years, but was able to score only 205 runs on England tour. Akash Chopra has claimed that now perhaps the selectors have started looking for other options instead of Nair.

Akash Chopra said through his YouTube channel that he had got a second opportunity as per Karun Nair’s wish. He was fit and available, yet he was not selected in India A squad.

Akash Chopra said, “Unfortunately, now it seems as Karun Nair will not play further for Team India. It is not that he was unavailable. He is fit, yet he is not selected. It seems as if the selectors have started focusing on other players inste

Karun Nair flopped in England

Karun Nair was given a chance on number-3 on England Tour, as well as batting at number-5 and sixth order. On the entire England tour, he scored 205 runs in 8 innings at an average of just 25.63. He was able to score only one half -century in eight innings. He could perform well after performing well, but failed.

Big statement on Shreyas Iyer too

Why is Shreyas Iyer the captain of India A? Akash Chopra also insisted that the third and sixth sequence in the Indian team is still lying vacant. Chopra said that Sai Sudarshan and Abhimanyu Ishwaran are currently in the team, but Karun Nair is not. The former Indian cricketer hoped that Nair would be given a chance in the series with the West Indies, but now it is less expected.

Kkr owner shah rukh khan: The round of discussions about the Indian Premier League 2026 has already started. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has been associated with this franchise for years, but now Samson can also hold the hand of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders. Former Indian cricketer and commentator Akash Chopra said about Sanju Samson on his YouTube channel that Kolkata Knight Riders can consider inclusion of this player in his team.

CSK or KKR, in which team will Sanju go?

According to media reports, Sanju Samson himself has decided to release from Rajasthan Royals himself. At the same time, Samson recently met Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming during Major League cricket in the US, since then there was speculation that Sanju Samson also went to CSK.

Commentator Akash Chopra said about changing Sanju Samson’s team that KKR’s name comes in my mind before CSK. Kolkata does not have any wicketkeeper batsman. In such a situation, if the team needs more depth in batting and you are getting a captain, then what is the evil in this.

Akash Chopra also praised Ajinkya Rahane, captain in IPL 2025 of Kolkata. Akash Chopra said that Rahane did better batting along with captaincy last season, but KKR can think about Sanju Samson given his age.

Venkatesh Iyer will be released?

Akash Chopra told to improve KKR’s budget that Kolkata can release Venkatesh Iyer from his team and add Rs 24 crore to the budget. Let us know that last season KKR bought Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 23.75 crore and he was included in the top 5 in the list of most expensive players of IPL 2025.
