<p>Mohammed Siraj has risen from the ranks. He is one of the players who has traveled from the maidans to the cricket grounds. From once bowling with the ?chappals? in the ?Maidans? of Hyderabad to becoming India?s strike bowler in the powerplay, Mohammed Siraj has done it all.</p>



<p>He will be playing his maiden ODI at his home ground in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The game will be played against New Zealand, the very team against whom he made his T20I debut. Here is an in-depth look:?</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Showers Praise on Mohammed Siraj:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>In the pre-match press conference on the eve of the India VS New Zealand ODI series, Rohit Sharma showered a lot of praise on ?Miyan Magic?. He said that his services need to be valued and he is an integral part of the plan for the ODI World Cup 2023. He also said that Siraj is one of the most improved bowlers. </p>



<p>This is what he had to say, ?Over the last couple of years, we?ve seen how well Siraj has fared across all three formats. He has improved his bowling; his line and length have improved. He has especially worked on his outswing. Earlier, he wasn?t that renowned for swing, but he has shown his ability to swing with the new ball over the last series.&nbsp; ?.&nbsp;</p>

IMG SRC: Scroll</figcaption></figure>



<p>Further, he added, ?It isn?t an easy task for any batsman to face the new ball. Siraj has started understanding his bowling and what the team wants from him. Overall, he has become a very good bowler for the team, one who can take wickets with the new ball and in the middle overs. He has also improved his death bowling with the IPL?.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Team India Looking For a Bowler in the Powerplay:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Jasprit-Bumrah-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-101232"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bumrah and Siraj will be a lethal combo in the powerplay. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The biggest issue for the Indian Cricket team in the recent past is that it has failed to take wickets in the powerplay overs. Earlier the likes of Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra used to get the job done. But today only Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one bowler who gives us such services. But with the kind of promise that Siraj has shown, we can certainly groom him for that role. Deepak Chahar is one such bowler. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mohammed Siraj?s Workload to Be Managed:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mohammed Siraj is an integral part of the scheme of things for the ODI World Cup 2023 and hence his workload is expected to be a little managed. He is also expected to say fit for all 4 test matches against Australia a home. This is what Rohit Sharma had to say about it, ?We have to keep in mind that we manage him well, and keep him fresh till the World Cup and for the four Tests against Australia?.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

Mohammed Siraj is a ?Rare Talent?, Rohit Sharma Showers Praise On Young Pacer After He Impresses in ODI Series Against Sri Lanka 2023.

<p>Rohit Sharma has been very calm and composed with the statements that he makes in the media post being appointed as the Indian captain. But on the eve of the 4<sup>th</sup> test match against Australia, the Indian captain did not hold back his remarks. It was Ravi Shastri who criticized Rohit Sharma and team India on air while commentating for Star TV Network. Shastri went on to say that team India was overconfident in the 3<sup>rd</sup> Test match which they lost on a rank turner. Here is what Rohit Sharma had to say in response:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Ravi Shastri Says Indian Team was ?Overconfident? in the 3<sup>rd</sup> Test:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rohit-Sharma-and-Ravi-Shastri-1.jpg" alt="Ravi Shastri and Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-82294" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The previous head coach, Ravi Shastri was very critical of the Indian cricket team's attitude in the 3rd Test match. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>?This is what a little complacency and a little bit of overconfidence can do where you take things for granted, you drop guard and this game will bring you down.?, Shastri said while covering the game live for the Star TV Network. Shastri has been the team manager since 2014 and was also the coach of the Indian cricket team for 4 years from 2017 to 2021. He has seen how cricket has evolved and he is not new to the pressure and standard of the game. These comments of such a well-aware person did not go down very well with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. ?</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Calls Ravi Shastri?s Remark ?Rubbish?:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/rahul_dravid_and_rohit_sharma-si-1024x576.jpg" alt="Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-93211" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit has had a very good equation with the coaches but this statement of the previous head coach did not go down well with him! IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rohit has been very calm when answering such tough questions in the past. He had been earlier asked about his possible rift with Virat and also about dropping Virat Kohli, but Rohit Sharma has answered these questions with composure. But this time, the Indian skipper did not hold back and expressed what he truly felt. &nbsp;</p>



<p>?Honestly when you win two games and the people on the outside feel we are overconfident, it?s absolutely ?rubbish? because you want to do your best in all 4 games.?, Rohit said. He further added, ?You don?t want to stop by winning two games, it is as simple as that. Obviously, all these guys when they talk about being overconfident and all and especially when they are not a part of the dressing room, they don?t know what sort of talk happens in the dressing room.?&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Refers to Ravi Shastri as an ?Outsider?:?</h2>



<p>In a very one-of-a-kind statement from Sharma, he went on to refer to Shastri as an ?outsider?. He said, ?We want to do our best in all games and if it seems overconfident, or anything like that for the ?outsiders?, it doesn?t matter to us.??Further Rohit added, "So, yeah it's about being "ruthless" and not being "overconfident". Ruthless is a word that comes to every cricketer's mind, not to give an inch to the opposition while touring abroad".</p>



<p>The 4<sup>th</sup> game will begin at 9:30 am on 9 March 2023. The venue is the newly built Shri. Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Rohit Sharma Says Ravi Shastri?s Remark Was ?Rubbish?. India VS Australia 4th Test Press Conference. &nbsp;

<p><strong>IPL 2023 Breaking News:</strong> Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the skipper of the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings, is reportedly in his final year of playing. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, disagrees with the claim that he will retire after participating in the IPL in 2023, despite the views of cricket experts and supporters. Knowing his response, Dhoni's supporters will be ecstatic.</p>



<h2>What did Rohit Sharma say about Dhoni's retirement?</h2>



<p>Rohit Sharma stated that MS Dhoni is now healthy enough to play 2-3 seasons during the press conference just prior to the start of the IPL-16 season. This probably won't be his final season.</p>



<p>On social media, there were some videos of Dhoni's practice sessions that were going viral. In these videos, it was obvious that Dhoni had bulging biceps and was playing power shots in his distinctive manner.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ChennaiIPL/status/1639631382237560839
</div></figure>



<p>On the other hand, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still sitting silently on the question of his retirement. Only he knows when he has to retire and how long he has to play. We have seen Dhoni suddenly leave international cricket as well.</p>



<p>Under Dhoni's leadership, the squad has won four championships and is second in terms of title victories. The top team is Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians. Under Rohit's leadership, Mumbai has captured the championship five times. Chennai Super Kings will compete against Rohit's team if Dhoni takes the title this time.</p>



<h2>MS Dhoni IPL 2023 Squad</h2>



<p>MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Subhranshu Senapati, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Dwaine Pretorius, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Choudhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana, Ajinkya Rahane, Ben Stokes, Shaik Rasheed, Nishant Sindhu, Kyle Jamieson, Ajay Mandal, Bhagath Varma, Sisanda Magala</p>

IPL 2023 Breaking News: Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding Dhoni's IPL?retirement

ipl-2023-breaking-news-rohit-sharma-gave-a-big-statement-regarding-dhonis-ipl-retirement

<p>Rohit Sharma and Team India are surely feeling the pressure as they will head into the fourth test. The Boxing Day Test will begin on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium. Jasprit Bumrah led India to an incredible win in the opening test in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma.</p>
<p>But after that, India had a miserable performance in the next two games. The series is evenly poised at 1-1, with both teams eyeing a win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. India are practicing hard to get back to winning ways. The biggest concern for the visitors is the batting form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.</p>
<p>India needs their big guns to fire that can help the team to reach a better position. However, ahead of the Boxing Day Test, India suffered a big blow as the Indian captain got hit while practicing at the nets. The Indian captain was hit on his left knee.</p>
<h3>IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma gets hit on his left knee at the nets ahead of Boxing Day Test </h3>
<p>The Indian captain has faced criticism for his poor form and captaincy. He has given his opening slot to KL Rahul, and he himself is batting in the middle order. But it hasn't helped him much. And now just four days ahead of the fourth test, India had an injury scare as the captain sustained an injury to his left knee.</p>
<p>As per reports, Rohit was taking throwdowns at the nets when the ball went past his pad and hit his left knee. The Indian captain was in pain and was seen applying the ice pack on his knee. He was in discomfort and left the practice session. However, the Indian pacer Akash Deep confirmed that there was nothing to worry about and such blows are common.</p>
<p>He said, "Such blows are common when you play cricket. I think this wicket was prepared for a white ball, which is why the ball stayed low. But these blows are common." India need the captain if they want to retain the BGT trophy. After continuing failure, Rohit will be eager to make some runs for the team.</p>
<p>Former Australian captain Michael Clarke predicted a big century from the Indian captain during a podcast. The batting conditions at MCG will be better. That's where the Indian captain can look to get back to his form. India need to win both games to qualify for the World Test Championship final and also to win the BGT trophy. Notably, India have won the last four consecutive BGT trophies.</p>

The fourth test between India and Australia will start at 5 PM on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium. It is the Boxing Day Test.
