Mohinder Amarnath has the same opinion as Sunil Gavaskar about MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a name that has won everyone’s heart, not only in the cricketing world but also outside it. MS Dhoni Biography tells the story of Ranchi born cricketer. Recently, the 37-year old was dropped from T20I against West Indies and Australia.

MS Dhoni retired from test series long back and now he is a certainty only in ODI cricket. Instead of having time, Mahi did not play the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018 and now will face Australia National Cricket Team in the three-match ODI series without any match practice.

As per the trending cricket news, Former Indian all-rounder and selector Mohinder Amarnath think that MS Dhoni and other senior players must play domestic cricket to be eligible for selection.

Mohinder Amarnath said that every individual is different but one thing that he has always believed in is that if you want to play for India you have to play for your state as well. He thinks that the BCCI should change this policy altogether.

Amarnath told that a lot of senior players don’t play domestic cricket. In fact, Sunil Gavaskar had suggested the same in past. Other than Dhoni, another senior player Shikhar Dhawan who has been dropped from India’s test squad is not playing the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Amarnath said that The BCCI should make it as an eligibility criterion. He said, “Not only a number of games, you should be playing regularly for your state if you are not playing for India and not only just before the India selection.”

He said that then only a selector can judge how good the guy is playing. Whatever a player has achieved is all in the past and what is important is his current form.

The former selector said that even if a player is playing one format than he should be playing all formats at least in domestic cricket to be considered for selection.

Michael Vaughan has not seen a better player than Virat Kohli

India’s tour of Australia started with its four-match test series from December 6 and India National Cricket Team took lead 1-0 in the test series after the first test.

Team India’s captain Virat Kohli became the second fastest player to score 25 Test centuries on the Day 3 of India vs Australia second test at Perth. He achieved the feat in 127 innings and is after Sir Donald Bradman who took 68 innings to achieve 25 test centuries.

Virat Kohli left Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar behind who took 130 innings to achieve the feat. Virat Kohli with his sixth Test century in Australia equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record of most Test centuries by an Indian Down Under.

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan believes that Virat Kohli is a better batsman across three formats as compared to the legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, and Ricky Ponting.

Michael Vaughan said that he has not seen a better player than Virat and told that he is not disrespecting Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara or Ricky Ponting but across all the three formats of the game, he has not seen anyone better than Kohli.

Michael Vaughan said, “He (Virat) has such high skill levels and an incredible mentality when it comes to dealing with the pressure of the chase. All that while dealing with a weight of expectation and adulation that only Sachin would have experienced.”

He also said, “The concern for Australia is that so far in this Test match the Indians have managed to get more uneven bounce out of the pitch than the home bowlers. The quicks seem to be getting out-bowled by this highly skilled Indian four-man attack,”.

Australian great Allan Border also praised Kohli and said, “I think by the time Kohli finishes he (could) statistically be equal or better than all those players,”.

Allan Border thinks that Kohli could surpass the likes Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, and Sachin Tendulkar in the record books. However, Virat has already scored 62 international centuries.

Ian Chappell compares Cheteshwar Pujara to Rahul Dravid

India vs Australia Test series began from December 6. Team India is trying hard to win its first ever test series in the Australian soil. India has not won any test series yet and Men in Blue are trying hard not to left any stone unturned.

Cheteshwar Pujara performed hard to let India clinch the test series for the first time. Former Australia batsman Ian Chappell compared Cheteshwar Pujara with Rahul Dravid. Pujara scored a hundred in the first innings in Adelaide in the first Test against Australia. The batsman continued to perform and scored 71 in the second innings.

Ian Chappell said that Pujara is the ideal choice for India to bat at the no. 3 position. He said, “There are two choices when selecting the type of No. 3 batsman for a top-ranked Test side. There’s the instinctive counter-attacker, who despite his aggressive nature still has the technical expertise to withstand a good spell with the new ball. The perfect example is Australia’s former batting champion Ricky Ponting,”.

Former Australia batsman said, “If that type of player isn’t available then you need someone with the patience of a fly fisherman, a brick-wall defence, and the unselfish outlook that allows him to bury his ego in order to improve the chances of success for his fellow batsmen. The prototype for this type of No. 3 is India’s Rahul Dravid. Cheteshwar Pujara isn’t quite the snug-fitting Armani suit that Dravid was at No. 3, but he’s cut from the same cloth,”.

He said, “Between his dogged defiance and their desire-to-be-dominant style of batting there is an acceptable middle ground,”.

75 years old Ian Chappell said that Pujara showed at Adelaide Oval the value of patience and persistence and a strong mindset. He further added that these qualities helped Pujara blunt the Australian attack and they should also be a lesson to his more adventurous team-mates.

Sunil Gavaskar wants MS Dhoni and Shikhar Dhawan to play Domestic Cricket

MS Dhoni was not in the form in the recent times and has been dropped from the T20I Squad against West Indies and Australia. With the ICC Cricket World Cup is approaching his form is quite a matter of worry.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni already quit Test cricket and after being dropped it has been said that his T20I career may also come to end. MS Dhoni Biography exhibits him as a boy from Ranchi whose idol was Sachin Tendulkar and whose hard work and dedication towards cricket made him the best finisher.

But as the time passed, it is said that Dhoni is no more the finisher as he used to be. Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar feels that Dhoni should play more domestic cricket to get his form back.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni does not wish to test his abilities in the ongoing Ranji Trophy for Jharkhand. The reports stated that he does not wish to block a spot in the Jharkhand team as he has dropped Test cricket.

Sunil Gavaskar said that Dhoni did not play the T20Is and Tests against Australia and before that he also didn't play Tests against West Indies. So, he last played in October and will next play in January which will be a huge gap. And if he does not play well on tours of Australia and New Zealand then that will arise more questions on his place in the upcoming World Cup.

Sunil Gavaskar said that as a player gets older and if there is a gap in competitive cricket then his reflexes will slow down. He said that if a player plays any form of cricket at the domestic level then they get an opportunity to play long innings and which serves as a good practice for them.

On the other hand, opener Shikhar Dhawan who was out from the Indian squad after a bad Test series against England also chooses to remain away from representing Delhi cricket in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Sunil Gavaskar said, "We shouldn't ask Dhawan and Dhoni 'why you are not playing domestic cricket'. We should, in fact, ask the BCCI and selectors that why are they allowing players to skip domestic cricket when they are not on national duty. If the Indian team has to do well, players have to be in prime form and for that, they have to play cricket,".

Some situation where the playing conditions matter in the outcome of a match includes Green top wicket on the first morning of a test, Subcontinental dusty wickets with cracks and Day night ODI matches with dew in the outfield.

Green top wicket on the first morning of a test happens in England and Australia. Here the team who bowls first has the advantage and the team who is batting first has to be very careful for the first hour otherwise they would lose a lot of wickets.

Subcontinental dusty wickets with cracks where batting on the day 4 and 5 becomes extremely difficult if the opposition has some good spinners and if there is an uneven bounce then even the seamers will be difficult to face. Here the good thing to do is to avoid the fourth inning and to select to bat first if a toss is won.

Day night ODI matches with dew in the outfield is difficult to grip white ball if it is wet. Spinners will find it difficult to get a grip over the ball. In such conditions, not only spinner but pacers will also find difficulty to bowl. The team winning toss will choose to bowl first in the sunlight and bat second when there is dew in the field.
