Aakash Chopra picks India’s best cricketer, debutant in 2021
Former Indian cricket player Aakash Chopra (Aakash Chopra) selected the best cricket player for the Indian team in T20Is, tests and overall selection on Friday before nominating the rookie of the year. Aakash selected Rohit Sharma as the best cricket player of 2021, selected him as the best batsman in the calendar year test and T20Is, and appointed Axar Patel as the best rookie.
In the cricket test there were two contenders for batting points. The other was Rishabh Pant, who made two sensational batting in the fourth game against Australia earlier this year. But Aakash chose Rohit, who scored 906 points with a score of 48.19 in 21 innings, two centuries and four fifties. The veteran cricket player admits that 2021 is still a crucial year for Rohit because it shows the other side of his cricket test. Earlier this summer, Rohit’s performance on the England Tour was particularly impressive. He scored 497 runs with a score of 45.18 in the 1950s and 1950s. 1136 deliveries.
“From an Indian perspective, we have Rishabh Pant. He was the one who helped India conquer Gabba, and he even scored in Sydney. But my test batter this year is Rohit Sharma. When the history of cricket test will be At the time of writing, 2021 will be remembered as a pivotal year for Rohit Sharma as a cricket player. This year shows that he finally fell in love with this form. He learned how to defend the ball and how to leave the ball. He scored under difficult English conditions. In the second game Chennai knocked on the door-he was on one side and the other players were completely on the other side-this is the quality of his shots. We still have a test match to play, but there is no doubt that, He must be my test hitter this year,” he said on his YouTube channel. Aakash then chose Ravichandran Ashwin as the best test bowler. The bystander selected 52 wickets with a score of 16.2 (mostly in 2021) and also surpassed Harbhajan Singh to become the third highest wicket in India. What impressed Akash was that even though Ashwin missed two tests in Australia and three tests in England, he became the leading ticket inspector in 2021.
“We have Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah there. But my test bowler this year will be Ravichandran Ashwin. He did not participate in Gabba and missed the England Tour, so he missed five tests in 2021. He also It’s been a century for scoring to run as a batter. But here I’m talking about pitcher Ashwin. He chose 52 wickets in 8 tests. If he participated in these five tests, he would Choose 70 wickets. He has always been sensational and he will eventually surpass Kapil Dev’s record,” he said.
Aakash then named Rohit the best T20I batsman, and then named him the best cricket player of 2021. He also chose Jasprit Bumrah as the best bowler in the format.

KL Rahul dangerously close to Laxman territory; to be perished for Sarfaraz Khan and Shubman Gill
To accommodate both Sarfaraz and Gill and stick with their five-bowler formula, a batter from the Bengaluru Test must make way. Ergo Rahul and the predicted axe
VVS Laxman went through the first half of his illustrious 15-and-a-half-year international career with the proverbial axe hanging over him. Despite his magical stroke-play and a well-founded reputation for rallying the lower order to bat above itself, he was forever the first name that sprang to the decision-makers’ minds when they had to drop someone to accommodate someone else. It wasn’t until the second half of his stint with the national team that he had ‘job security’, which automatically manifested itself in an array of glorious, match-turning knocks and earmarked him as one for a crisis.
KL Rahul is now dangerously close to approaching the Laxman territory, though at least in this instance, a case can be made out, perhaps, for why he often seems to be playing for his place. Almost a decade after his Test debut in Australia in December 2014, he has yet to nail down a permanent spot, a result of glaring inconsistency and repeated dalliances with injuries that have left him with a modest average of 33.87 from 53 Test appearances.
Unlike Laxman, who was thrust to the opener’s position for three years from 1997, successive team managements have worked overtime to create space for Rahul. He started off in the middle order in Melbourne against Australia, opened in the next Test in Sydney when he made a sparkling century, continued in that position for a good nine years – around the large pockets when either injuries or lack of form relegated him to the sidelines – and now seems to have found his calling in the middle order, where he was tried out in an almost last throw of the dice in South Africa last December.
In his limited time at the No. 6 position, Rahul has been a revelation. On a spiteful surface in Centurion in his first innings back in the middle order, the classy right-hander made a marvellous 101 – Virat Kohli’s 38 was the next highest score – in India’s 245 all out. Two Tests later, against England in Hyderabad, he waltzed to 86 of the best until a hamstring strain kept him out of the last four Tests.
On his comeback last month against Bangladesh, Rahul showed why he is rated so highly, and therefore why he so frustrates when he chooses to shackle himself mentally, with uninhibited shot-making when India were pressing for a declaration (Chennai) and looking to make up for lost time with a frenetic batting approach (Kanpur) in the two Tests. Kanpur was especially mesmeric, 68 flowing off his bat in a mere 43 deliveries. It was the best of Rahul.
Axe hangs over Rahul’s head for India vs New Zealand 2nd Test
And yet here we are, two innings later, wondering whether he will, or should, feature in the playing XI in Pune, where India take on New Zealand in a must-win second Test from Thursday.
Shubman Gill, him of three centuries in his last six Tests, missed the Bengaluru defeat to the Kiwis with a stiff neck. Replacement batter Sarfaraz Khan made the most of own good fortune with a delectable 150, which makes it near impossible to drop him now that Gill is fully fit. To accommodate both Sarfaraz and Gill and stick with their five-bowler formula which has worked beautifully in the last few years, a batter from the Bengaluru Test must make way. Ergo Rahul and the predicted axe.
One of the few men to have led India in all three formats internationally, Rahul didn’t help his cause with scores of 0 and 12 at his home ground, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In the first innings, he was strangled down leg-side by William O’Rourke while in the second, he received a peach from the same paceman operating with the second new ball and was again caught behind. Rahul was one of 11 failures in India’s first-innings 46 and one of seven wickets to fall in 93 deliveries to the second new cherry, but failures past and the logjam created by Gill’s availability have combined to identify him as the most susceptible to the axe.
It’s a cross impossible to bear, but also impossible to ignore just because it is so heavy, so overarching. Rahul is beyond gifted and makes batting appear oh-so-simple, but his struggles to embrace sustained run-making can’t be wished away. He is the eternal team man, much like his celebrated namesake also from Karnataka – both kept wickets admirably in 50-over World Cups 21 years apart, both made attractive and impactful runs during the tournament and both tasted bitter defeat at the hands of Australia in the final – but ‘eternal team man’ can sometimes be an euphemism for the ‘most dispensable’ and Rahul can be excused for thinking that those two lines have blurred beyond repair. Of course, if he is brutally honest to himself, he will acknowledge at least to himself that he too must bear culpability for the blurring of the lines.
