In a recent turn of events, veteran Indian spinner Amit Mishra has expressed his reservations about the decision to appoint Shubman Gill as the captain of the India team for the T20 series against Zimbabwe. Despite India’s commanding 4-1 victory in the five-match series, Mishra’s concerns about Gill’s leadership abilities have sparked a debate within the cricketing community.

Amit Mishra criticizes Shubman Gill’s leadership capabilities

During a conversation on the Shubhankar Mishra Podcast, Mishra did not hold back his criticism he said that he would not name him as a captain as Gill doesn’t know how to do captaincy as was seen in the IPL.

“Mai Shubhman ko captain nahi banaunga, kyuki maine usse IPL mai dekha hai, he doesn’t know ki captaincy kaise karni hai. Uske paas captaincy ka idea nahi hai.” (I would not have made him the captain). You saw in the IPL this season Gill doesn’t know how to be captain of this side; he was clueless,” said Mishra.

Here is the video:

Amit Mishra said, "I've seen him (Shubman Gill) in the IPL, and he doesn't know how to do captaincy. He has no idea about captaincy. Why they made him captain is a question. Just because he's in the Indian team doesn't mean he should be made captain."

Mishra suggests T20 captain alternatives

The veteran spinner also pointed out that other seasoned players could have been considered for captaincy. He named Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rishabh Pant as an alternatives for the captaincy.

“There’s Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Rishabh Pant, who can lead the T20 side as well,” Mishra confidently suggested.

Notably, both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson were part of the Z??i??mbabwe tour, highlighting that there were viable alternatives within the squad.

Mishra elaborated on his point, suggesting that the decision to give Gill?? the ??captaincy was aimed at providing him with leadership experience, which did not translate well during the IPL season.

“They wanted him to gain experience in leadership, but that wasn’t visible when he led the team in the IPL,” Mishra added.

After Hardik Pandya returned to his old franchise, Gill was named the new captain of the Gujarat Titans for the IPL 2024 season. However, Gill’s performance as a captain was underwhelming, with the team winning only 5 out of 14 matches and finishing in 8th position on the points table. This has led to questions about his suitability for the leadership role in international cricket.

In a bombshell revelation, former Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) player Amit Mishra has provided unprecedented details about the heated argument between team captain KL Rahul and team owner Sanjiv Goenka during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

According to Mishra, Rahul and Goenka’s dispute was intense, involving a significant disagreement over the team’s strategy and performance. The veteran spinner described the exchange as a “heated discussion,” indicating tensions between the two parties.

The revelation  

In a recent podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, the 41-year-old veteran Amit shed new light on the behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded within the LSG camp during the IPL 2024. While the exact nature of the animated chat remains unclear, it is evident that the rift between Rahul and Goenka was severe enough to disrupt the team’s morale and performance.

Pondering over the fiasco, Amit revealed: “He (Goenka) was disappointed. We lost two back-to-back matches very badly. Against KKR, we lost by some 90-100 runs, and against SRH, the match was finished within ten overs. It felt like we were bowling them during a net practice session. If I am so angry about it, will someone who has actually put money into the team not feel angry?”

The controversy sent shockwaves through the cricketing community, with many speculating the reasons behind the ill-mannered discussion. Amit’s revelations have added a new layer of intrigue to the incident, providing a rare insider’s perspective on the dynamics within the LSG team. He also commented on how the media hyped up the issue using different platforms.

“It was not a huge deal. But I later came to know that he said that the bowling was very bad and the team should have shown some fight. It looked like you have completely surrendered. But I feel people and media hyped it up a bit,” the leg-spinner revealed.

Adding more spice to the conversation

In a related development, Amit has also made claims about the impact of fame and captaincy on players, suggesting that former India captain Virat Kohli underwent significant changes after achieving success and taking on the leadership role. This contrasts the consistent demeanour of current India captain Rohit Sharma, despite his accomplish??ments and captaincy responsibilities.

Amit’s comments have also sparked discussions about the role of captains and team owners in professional sports, particularly in the context of the IPL. The incident highlights the delicate balance that must be struck between the team’s on-field leadership and the franchise’s management’s off-field decision-making.

A historic moment unfolded in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Monday as Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal became the first bowler to reach the coveted milestone of 200 wickets. The 33-year-old achieved this feat during his side’s match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Yuzvendra Chahal makes history

Chahal wasted no time in making history, dismissing Mohammad Nabi on just the third ball of his opening over. The delivery induced an outside edge from Nabi, resulting in a caug??ht & bowled dismissal for Chahal. This historic wicket marked Chahal as the first bowler to reach 200 wickets in the IPL. He finished the match with figures of 1 for 48 in his four overs.

Amit Mishra greets Chahal’s 200th IPL wicket with cheeky message

Following Chahal’s achievement of 200 wickets in the IPL, fellow leg-spinner Amit Mishra of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) shared a playful congratulatory message. Mishra’s message, shared on LSG’s official Twitter handle , humorously acknowledged Chahal’s accomplishment by stating, Yuzi, you’ve left me behind because I’m not playing.

“Hi Yuzi, bahut khush hu aapki 200 wickets ke liye. Mere ko peechhe chhor diya hai kyuki mai khel nahi raha hu, isliye tu aage bad gaya hai. Aur mai yehi wish kar raha hu ke ek achha helathy competition rahe. I am waiting for my chance to beat your again. Chalo dekhte hain aage chal ke kya hota hai. But I am really happy for you. Keep it going. All the very best,” said Mishra.

Mishra has also claimed a significant number of wickets in the tournament. Currently standing as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in IPL history, Mishra boasts an impressive tally of ??173 wickets. He has? been a part of the IPL since its inception in 2008 and has featured in 161 matches to achieve this feat.

Team India are gearing up for their last bilateral series before the eagerly awaited ODI World Cup 2023, scheduled to commence on October 5. The three-match ODI series against Australia holds significant ?importance for both teams as they coincidentally kick off their World Cup campaign with a clash on October 8.

In a surprising move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called upon the experienced Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, for the ODI leg against Australia, set to commence on September 22 in Mohali. This decision marked a remarkable turnaround for Ashwin, who had not been part of India’s initial ODI World Cup plans.

The twist in Ashwin’s ODI comeback story occurred during the Asia Cup final when Axar Patel was ruled out due to a thigh injury. To replace Patel, Washington Sundar was selected for the final. Subsequen?tly, Ash??win was named for the three-match ODI series against Australia.

Amit Mishra offers insights

Former India spinner Amit Mishra has weighed in on Ashwin’s surprise selection. Mishra praised Ashwin as a quality bowler and suggested that he was included in the team due to the absence of a right-arm spin option.

“Ashwin is undoubtedly a quality bowler and a wicket-taker, but remember this is not a 20-over game. It is of 50 overs. The only reason he has been picked is because if a spinner gets injured, then the team needs to have a wicket-taking option, which Ashwin brings. Ashwin has got an edge as an off-spin option, as India already has two left-arm spinners and a wrist-spinner in Kuldeep Yadav,” exp?lained?? Mishra during a discussion on Jio Cinema.

Fielding and age considerations

Mishra highlighted Ashwin’s fielding as the primary reason for his absence from the 50-over format. He explained that Washington had the upper hand over Ashwin due to his age and fielding abilities.

“The Indian team will be closely observing Ashwin’s performance against Australia to assess if he still possesses wicket-taking abilities in this format. The only reason he is not in the team is because of his fielding and right-handed batting ability. Jadeja and Axar are both lefties. Washington is a young player and has shown wicket-taking abilities, apart from being a batting option. Plus, he provides an advantage with his fielding, something which holds importance in ODIs,” added Mishra.

Amit Mishra, the experienced spinner, once again demonstrated his skill in Match 58 of IPL 2023 by dismissing Anmolpreet Singh with a remarkable delivery.

It happened in the ninth over of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) innings when Mishra delivered a full ball just outside off stump. Anmolpreet advanced down the track, intending to guide the ball towards long on, but instea??d ended up with a leading edge that carried back to the bowler, resulting in a catch. The SRH opener had to depart after scoring 36 runs off 27 deliveries, which included seven boundaries.

Following the dismissal, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner banged the ball on the floor and gave a death stare to the young SRH batsman, perhaps expressing his dominance and displaying his ?competitive spirit.

Meanwhile, it?? was not an ideal outing for Mishra as he leaked 40 runs in his qu?ota of four overs.

After the game, where LSG registered a seven-wicket victory, BCCI took strict action against Mishra. The BCCI reprimanded the veteran spinner for breaching the IPL’s Code of Conduct.

“Mr Mishra admitted to level 1 offence under Article 2.2 of IPL’s Code of Conduct which states abuse of equipment during the match. Mr Mishra accepted the sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding,” said BCCI in their official statement.

Article 2.2 includes any action(s) outside the course of normal cricket actions, such ??as hitting or kicking the wickets and any action(s) which deliberately (i.e. intentionally), recklessly or negligently (in either case even if accidental) results in damage to the advertising boards, boundary fen??ces, dressing room doors, mirrors, windows and other fixtures and fittings.

Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) decision to sign leg-spinner Amit Mishra at the 2023 IPL auction for a sum of INR 50 lakh paid off well. Despite being 40 years old and playing only T20 cricket, Mishra proved his worth in the IPL 2023 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday, April 7.

Mishra’s brilliance was not just limited to his bowling performance. He took a stunning catch at short third-man to dismiss SRH batter Rahul Tripathi.

Under the fresh leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, England scripted a historic win when they successfully chased down the massive 378-run target against India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The hosts exhibited an attacking brand of cricket and completed the task on the final day, with former skipper Joe Root and explosive batter Jonny Bairstow smashing unbeaten centuries to h?elp England l?evel the series 2-2.

Notably, the one-off Test match was part of the five-match series that was halted due to COVID-19 in 2021. The tourists left England after the 4th Test due to COVID-19 cases in their camp. Though India ended up losing the fifth Test, it was still a big achievement as they didn’t lose the series.

In the previous tours of England, the Indian team had struggled badly. In 2011, the MS Dhoni-led side was whitewashed in the four-match series. Then, in 2014, England defeated India by 3-1 under the captaincy of Alastair Cook. In 2018, Joe Root’s England overpowered Virat Kohli-led India 4-1.

England supporters were indeed happy as their team managed to save the series. The last? time E?ngland lost the home Test leg against India was back in 2007 when Rahul Dravid was the captain of the Indian team. No wonder both English players and their fans were rejoicing after the victory in the Edgbaston Test.

However, while celebrating the win, Barmy Army â€?the England cricket team’s supporter’s club â€?took to Twitter to post the false series result. Barmy Army claimed that the Three Lions have won the series 1-0.

The tweet of Barmy Army didn’t go down well as several fans lambasted them for going a bit too far while making a joke. Even former India spinner Amit Mishra looked unhappy as he blasted Barmy Army for posting a false result. Mishra wrote: “Haash! British and their habit of distorting history for their own advantage.”

Leg-spinner Amit Mishra?? is no doubt a legendary figure in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He performed for every team he played for in the cash-rich league. Notably, Mishra is the only bowler with thre?e IPL hat-tricks.

Despite being one of the league’s highest wicket-takers, Mishra went unsold in the mega auction of the ongoing fifteenth season of the lucrative league. However, the leggie has been attracting a lot of attention with his presence on social media in the past few months.

On Friday (April 8), Mishra once again captured the limelight as he came up with a hilarious reaction to a fan’s query to join Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Mishra, 39, wa?s at his wittiest best as he jokingly replied that he is still two years younger to join the four-time champions.

“Sorry mate, Still two years younger for it,” Mishra wrote on the micro-blogging platform.

Sorry mate, Still two years younger for it. //t.co/9rCi5SFIz8

— Amit Mishra (@MishiAmit) April 8, 2022

The Super Kings are often labelled as Dad’s Army, but the ‘Men in Yellow’ have defied odds to win 4 titles, including 2, since their return from suspension in 2018. CSK’s average age has been over 30, and they returned in grand style even after a horror run in IPL 2020 where MS Dhoni & Co. failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Interestingly, the response from the fan was to another funny tweet from Mishra, who lavished praises on Gujarat Titans (GT)‘ coach Ashish Nehra.

“Gujarat Titans are yet to be defeated this season. If they continue the same form, we might see other coaches also giving up laptops and picking up pen and paper like Nehra Ji,” said Mishra in his tweet.

Sir, pls come to CSK.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auctions witnessed the end of an era as many legendary cricketers went unsold. From Suresh Raina to Amit Mishra, the Indian cricket ?phenoms couldn’t find any buyer during ?the 2-day bidding event held in Bengaluru.

After the completion of IPL 2022 auction, Parth Jindal, the Delhi Capitals (DC) chairman, gave his tribute to the veteran spinner Mishra. Parth took to Twitt?er and mentioned that the DC franchise would like to salute the leggie fo??r everything he has done.

Jindal stated the Capitals would love to have Mishra’s services in the future before addi??ng that DC is Mishra’s team forever.

“To one of the IPL greats, Amit, we at Delhi Capitals would like to salute everything you have done for us over all these years and would love to have you back at DC in whatever capacity you see fit as your insights would be most valuable. Mishy bhai DC is yours for life,” Jindal wrote on the micro-blogging platform.

Notably, Mishra is one of the giants in the cash-rich league and owns some breathtaking figures. In 154 matches, th??e leg-spinner has taken 166 wickets, which is the highest among Indian bowlers and third overall.

Mishra has also bagged three hat??-tricks in the lucrative tournament, which is the highest in the history of IPL. No other ?bowler has taken more than double hat-tricks in the world’s toughest T20 league.

When it comes to the bidding event, the Capitals put up an impressive show by bagging several prominent stars in their squad. All-rounder Shardul Thakur was the most expensive buy for DC, as the Rishabh Pant-led DC spent a massive INR 10.75 crore to acquire the services of former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star.
