भारतीय संघाला चौथ्या सामन्यात मिळू शकते गूड न्यूज, इंग्लंडचा मॅचविनर खेळाडू होऊ शकतो संघाबाहेर...

लंडन : तिसऱ्या सामन्यात भारतीय संघाला पराभवाचा धक्का बसला आहे. पण आता भारतीय संघाला चौथ्या सामन्यात एक आनंदाची बातमी मिळू शकते. कारण इंग्लंडचा एक महत्वाचा खेळाडू चौथ्या कसोटी संघाबाहेर होऊ शकतो, असे संकेत मिळत आहेत. आतापर्यंत भारतीय संघासाठी इंग्लंडचे दोन खेळाडू सर्वाधिक डोकेदुखी ठरलेले आहे. यातील पहिला खेळाडू म्हणजे इंग्लंडचा कर्णधार जो रुट. कारण तिन्ही कसोटी सामन्यांमध्ये रुटने शतक झळकावले आहे. इंग्लंडसाठी दुसरा सर्वात महत्वाचा खेळाडू आहे तो म्हणजे अनुभवी वेगवान गोलंदाज जेम्स अँडरसन. कारण तिन्ही कसोटी सामन्यांमध्ये अँडरसनने सातत्याने विकेट्स मिळवलेल्या आहेत. चौथ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी अँडरसन हा संघाबाहेर होऊ शकतो, असे संकेत आता मिळत आहेत. अँडरसन हा सातत्याने कसोटी क्रिकेट खेळत असून त्याच्यावरचा कामगिरीचा ताण वाढत आहे. त्यामुळे चौथ्या कसोटीसाठी त्याला विश्रांती देण्याचा विचार इंग्लंडचा संघ करत आहे. कारण अँडरसन हा इंग्लंडसाठी फिट असणे सर्वात महत्वाचे आहे. कारण तो जर अनफिट झाला तर इंग्लंडच्या वेगवान गोलंदाजीला मोठा धक्का बसू शकतो. त्यामुळे कामगिरीचा ताण घेऊन अँडरसनला दुखापत होऊ नये, याचा विचार इंग्लंडचा संघ करत आहे. त्यामुळे अँडरसनला चौथ्या सामन्यात विश्रांती देण्यात येऊ शकते, जेणेकरून तो पाचव्या आणि अखेरच्या कसोटीसाठी पूर्णपणे फिट राहू शकतो. त्यामुळे चौथ्या कसोटी सामन्यात जर त्याला खेळवले नाही तर त्याच्याजागी मार्क वुडला संघात स्थान देण्यात येऊ शकते. वुड, ख्रिस वोक्स, ऑली रॉबिन्सन हे तीन इंग्लंडचे गोलंदाज चौथ्या कसोटीत खेळू शकतात. त्यामुळे अँडरसनला चौथ्या सामन्यासाठी विश्रांती देण्यात येणार का, याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष लागलेले असेल. चौथा सामना जिंकून मालिकेत आघाडी मिळवण्यासाठी इंग्लंडच्या संघाने हे महत्वाचे पाऊ उचलले आहे. इंग्लंडच्या संघात ख्रिस वोक्स या धडाकेबाज खेळाडूचा प्रवेश झाला आहे. वोक्सकडे आंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेटचा चांगला अनुभव आहे. त्याचबरोबर वोक्स हा वेगवान गोलंदाजीबरोबर उपयुक्त फलंदाजीही करू शकतो. जोस बटलर हा चौथा सामना खेळणार नसल्याचे स्पष्ट झाले आहे. कारण बटलरची पत्नी गर्भवती आहे आणि लवकर त्यांच्या घरात पाळणार हलणार आहे. त्यामुळे बटलरने चौथ्या कसोटीत न खेळण्याचा निर्णय घेतला आहे. बटलरच्या जागी सॅम बिलिंग्सला इंग्लंडच्या संघात स्थान देण्यात आले आहे.

Congress believes that the CM should personally take the initiative to calm the nerves of the worried members so that they give up their “rebellion”. Singh’s camp though has been pointing out that interventions of the central leadership have not helped.

तिसऱ्या सामना संपल्यावर रवींद्र जडेजा हॉस्पिटलमध्ये दाखल, भारतीय संघाची चिंता वाढली...

हेडिंग्ले : तिसऱ्या सामन्यात भारतीय संघ पराभूत झाला आणि त्यानंतर रवींद्र जडेजा हॉस्पिटलमध्ये दाखल झाल्याचे पाहायला मिळाले. त्यामुळे भारतीय संघाची चिंता वाढल्याचे पाहायला मिळत आहे. तिसरा कसोटी सामना संपल्यावर जडेजा लगेगच हॉस्पिटलमध्ये दाखल झाला. तिसऱ्या कसोटीच्या दुसऱ्या डावात जडेजा धडाकेबाज फलंदाजी करत होता, पण सामना संपल्यावर तो थेट हॉस्पिटलमध्ये दाखल झाला. यावेळी जडेजाची वैद्यकीय चाचणी करण्यात आली आहे. तिसरा सामना सुरु असताना जडेजाच्या गुडघ्याला दुखापत झाली होती. तिसऱ्या कसोटीच्या दुसऱ्या दिवशी भारतीय संघ क्षेत्ररक्षण करत होता आणि याचवेळी जडेजाला दुखापत झाली. ही दुखापत गंभीर असल्याने त्याने काही काळ विश्रांतीही घेतली होती. पण आता या दुखापतीचे स्वरुप नेमके आहे तरी काय, हे पाहण्यासाठी जडेजा हॉस्पिटलमध्ये दाखल झाला आहे. त्यामुळे आता जडेजाचा वैद्यकीय अहवाल आल्यावरच त्याच्या दुखापतीबाबतचे अपटेड्स मिळू शकतात. पण याबाबत बीसीसीआयने मात्र अधिकृतरीत्या कोणतीही माहिती दिलेली नाही. पण सामना संपल्यावर जडेजाने सोशल मीडियावर आपला हॉस्पिटलमधला फोटो पोस्ट केला आहे. तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यापूर्वीही जडेजा फिट नसल्याचे म्हटले जात होते, पण तिसऱ्या सामन्यात मात्र जडेजा खेळला होता. तिसऱ्या कसोटीच्या पहिल्या डावात जडेजाला चार धावा करता आल्या होत्या, दुसऱ्या डावात त्याने ३० धावांची खेळी साकारली होती. यासामन्यात जडेजाला दोन विकेटच मिळवता आल्या होत्या. तिन्ही कसोटी सामन्यांमध्ये अष्टपैलू रवींद्र जडेजाला संधी देण्यात आली होती. पण तिन्ही सामन्यांमध्ये जडेजाला चांगली कामगिरी करता आली नाही. जडेजाला विकेट्स मिळवण्यातही अपयश आले आणि त्याला जास्त धावाही करता आल्या नाहीत. त्यामुळे चौथ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी जडेजाला संघाबाहेर काढण्याच येऊ शकते. जडेजाच्या जागी आर. अश्विन हा भारतीय संघासाठी सर्वोत्तम पर्याय आहे. पण चौथ्या कसोटी सामन्यापूर्वी जडेजाचा वैद्यकीय अहवाल येणार आहे. त्यामध्ये नेमकं काय समोर येतं, हे पाहणं सर्वात महत्वाचं असेल. त्यानंतरच चौथ्या कसोटीबाबतचा निर्णय घेण्यात येऊ शकतो.

IND vs ENG : भारताच्या पराभवाचा पाकिस्तानला झाला मोठा फायदा, जाणून घ्या नेमकं घडलं तरी काय...

हेडिंग्ले : तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यात भारताचा दारुण पराभव झाला. पण या भारताच्या पराभवाचा फायदा आता पाकिस्तानला झाल्याचे पाहायला मिळत आहे. भारताच्या एका पराभवाने समीकरण आता पूर्णपणे बदलले आहे. तिसऱ्या सामन्यात भारताला एका डावाने पराभव पत्करावा लागला. या पराभवानंतर भारताच्या संघाला अजून एक धक्का बसला आहे. कारण या सामन्यापूर्वी भारतीय संघ हा विश्व अजिंक्यपद कसोटी स्पर्धेच्या क्रमवारीत अव्वल स्थानावर होता. भारताने यावेळी पाकिस्तानला मागे टाकत अव्वल क्रमांक पटकावला होता. पण या पराभवानंतर भारताची तिसऱ्या स्थानावर घसरण झाली आहे, तर पाकिस्तानने अव्वल स्थान पटकावले आहे. पराभवानंतरही भारताचे पाकिस्तानपेक्षा जास्त गुण आहे. भारताच्या खात्यात सध्या १४ तर पाकिस्तानच्या खात्यात १२ गुण आहेत. पण विजयाची टक्केवारी ही पाकिस्तानी भारतापेक्षा सरस आहे. पाकिस्तानची विजयाची टक्केवारी ही ५० एवढी आहे, तर भारताची ३८.३८ एवढी आहे. त्यामुळे भारताची तिसऱ्या स्थानावर घसरण झाली आहे. या क्रमवारीत पाकस्तान अव्वल, तर वेस्ट इंडिजचा संघ दुसऱ्या स्थानावर आहे. त्यानंतर भारताचा तिसरा आणि इंग्लंडचा चौथा क्रमांक आहे. इंग्लंडने तिसरा कसोटी सामना जिंकला असला तरी त्यांना चौथ्या स्थानावरच समाधान मानावे लागले आहे. त्यामुळे आता भारत आणि इंग्लंड यांच्यातील चौथ्या कसोटीच जो संघ बाजी मारेल त्यांना अव्वल स्थानावर पोहोचण्याची संधी मिळू शकते. त्यामुळे आता या क्रमवारीसाठी चौथा सामना हा सर्वात महत्वाचा असेल. भारत आणि इंग्लंड यांची पाच कसोटी सामन्याच्या मालिकेत आता १-१ अशी बरोबरी झाली आहे. त्यामुळे या दोन्ही संघांसाठी उर्वरीत सामने हे निर्णायक ठरणार आहेत. कारण या दोन सामन्यांवर मालिकेचा निकाल ठरणार आहे. त्यामुळे या पराभवनंतर भारतीय संघाल कोणता धडा घेणार, याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष असेल. त्याचबरोबर चौथ्या कसोटी सामन्यात भारत आणि इंग्लंड या दोन्ही संघांमध्ये कोणते महत्वाचे बदल होतात, हे पाहणे उत्सुकतेचे ठरणार आहे.

विराट कोहलीला चौथ्या दिवशी इतिहास रचण्याची संधी, पाहा कोणता विश्वविक्रम रचणार...

हेडिंग्ले : भारताचा कर्णधार विराट कोहलीने दमदार फलंदाजी केली. पण या सामन्याच्या चौथ्या दिवशी कोहलीला इतिहास रचण्याची एक सुवर्णसंधी आहे. चौथ्या दिवशी कोहली एका अनोख्या विश्वविक्रमाला गवसणी घालू शकतो. विराटची बॅट गेल्या काही सामन्यांपासून शांत होती, पण तिसऱ्या दिवशी विराटची बॅट आता धावांनिशी बोलायला लागली आहे. त्यामुळे चौथ्या दिवशी विराटकडून मोठ्या अपेक्षा आहेत. त्यामुळे विराटने चौथ्या दिवशी अजून ५५ धावा फटकावल्या तर त्याला विश्वविक्रम रचण्याची एक नामी संधी आहे. या कसोटीत विराटने शतक केल्यास आंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेटमधील त्याच्या शतकांची संख्या ७१ इतकी होईल. आतापर्यंत क्रिकेट विश्वात सर्वाधिक शतक झळकावणारा कर्णधार म्हणून कोहलीला इतिहास रचता येऊ शकतो. हा विश्वविक्रम यापूर्वी ऑस्ट्रेलियाचा माजी कर्णधार रिकी पॉन्टिंगच्या नावावर होता. पॉन्टिंगने ऑस्ट्रेलियाचे नेतृत्व करत असताना कसोटी क्रिकेटमध्ये ४१ शतकं झळकावली होती. कोहलीने या विक्रमाशी यापूर्वीच बरोबरी केली आहे. त्यामुळे कोहलीने आजच्या सामन्यात शतक झळकावलं तर त्याचे एक कर्णधार म्हणून ४२वे शतक असेल आणि त्याच्या नावावर हा विश्वविक्रम नोंदवला जाईल. पॉन्टिंगने कसोटीत ४१ तर वनडेत ३० शतक केली आहेत. तर विराटने कसोटीत २७ तर वनडेत ४३ शतक केली आहेत. कर्णधार म्हणून विराटला पॉन्टिंगचा विक्रम मागे टाकण्याची संधी आहे. पॉन्टिंगने कर्णधार म्हणून ४१ शतक केली आहे. तर विराटच्या नावावर देखील सध्या तितकीच शतक आहेत. पहिल्या कसोटीत विराटने शतक केल्यास तो रिकी पॉन्टिंगला मागे टाकेल. विराटने १८७ सामन्यात कर्णधार म्हणून ४१ शतक केली आहेत. तर पॉन्टिंगने ३२४ सामन्यात ४१ शतक केली होती. कोहलीने आपले अखेरचे शतक हे २०१९ साली झळकावले होते आणि तेदेखील बांगलादेशबरोबर. हे शतकही वनडे क्रिकेटमध्ये पूर्ण झाले होते. त्यामुळे कसोटी क्रिकेटमध्ये गेल्या २ वर्षांपासून तरी कोहलीला चांगला सूर गवसेलला दिसत नाही. त्याचबरोबर परदेशातील कसोटी सामन्यांमध्येही कोहली अपयशी ठरल्याचे पाहायला मिळत आहे.

'Sexual act by husband not rape, even if by force'

तिसऱ्या सामन्यात या खेळाडूला खेळवून विराट कोहलीने केली मोठी चुक, भारताला बसला मोठा फटका...

हेडिंग्ले : तिसऱ्या कसोटीत भारताचा कर्णधार विराट कोहलीचा नाणेफेक जिंकल्यानंतरचा निर्णय चुकला असं नाही, तर या सामन्यात एका खेळाडूला खेळवत त्याने मोठी चुक केली आहे. या सामन्यापूर्वी बऱ्याच जणांनी या खेळाडूवर टीका केली होती. पण विराटने कोणाचेही ऐकले नाही आणि त्यामुळे ही चुक आता संघाला चांगलीच महागात पडली आहे. दुसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यात विजय मिळवल्यावर कोहलीने संघ न बदलण्याचा निर्णय घेतला. पण खेळपट्टी पाहिल्यावरही विराटने आपला निर्णय कायम ठेवला, याचा सर्वांनाच धक्का बसला. कारण खेळपट्टीवर गवत नव्हते, त्यामुळे चार वेगवान खेळण्यात कोणताच पॉइंट नव्हता. पण विराटने चार गोलंदाज खेळवले आणि इशांत शर्मा दुसऱ्या दिवशी चांगलाच महागात पडल्याचे पाहायला मिळाले. कारण इशांतने २२ षटकांत ४.१८च्या सरासरीने ९२ धावा दिल्या, याचाच अर्थ इंग्लंडच्या फलंदाजांनी त्याची चांगलीच धुलाई केली. दुसऱ्या सामन्यापूर्वी वेगवान गोलंदाज शार्दुल ठाकूर हा दुखापतग्रस्त झाला होता आणि त्याच्याजागी इशांतला संधी देण्यात आली होती. पण इशांतला दुसऱ्या कसोटीत चांगली कामगिरी करता आली नव्हती. त्यामुळे शार्दुल फिट झाल्यावर त्याला संघात घ्यायला हवे होते. कारण शार्दुल हा फक्त वेगवान गोलंदाज नाही तर तो चांगली फलंदाजीही करू शकतो. पण विराटने ही गोष्ट केली नाही. जर शार्दुलला खेळवायचे नव्हते तर इशांतच्या जागी आर. अश्विन हा भारतासाठी सर्वात चांगला पर्याय होता. कारण अश्विन कोणत्याही खेळपट्टीवर विकेट्स मिळवू शकतो. त्याचबरोबर तो चांगली फलंदाजीही करू शकतो. पण विराटने यावेळी संघात कोणताही बदल केला नाही आणि त्याचा फटका भारतीय संघाला बसल्यचे आज पाहाला मिळाले आहे. इशांतकडे सर्वात जास्त अनुभव असला तरी तो सध्याच्या घडीला चांगल्या फॉर्मात नाही. त्याचबरोबर शार्दुल हा पहिल्या कसोटीत चांगल्या फॉर्मात होता, त्यामुळे तिसऱ्या कसोटीत त्याला संधी द्यायला हवी होती. त्याचबरोबर अश्विनला भारतीय संघातून का वगळले, याचे उत्तर अजूनही मिळालेले नाही.

हेडिंग्ले : तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्याला सुरु होण्याच्या काही तासांपूर्वीच इंग्लंडच्या संघाने एक मोठी चाल खेळली आहे. ही चाल खेळत इंग्लंडचा संघ भारताला कोंडीत पकडू शकते. इंग्लंडने सामना सुरु होण्याच्या काही तासांपूर्वी केलेल्या या गोष्टीमुळे विराट कोहलीलाही धक्का बसला आहे. विराट कोहली आज जेव्हा मैदानात उतरला तेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहून त्याला धक्का बसला. कारण इंग्लंडमध्ये खेळपट्टीवर नेहमीच गवत ठेवण्यात येते, कारण वेगवान गोलंदाजांना त्याचा फायदा मिळत असतो. पण आज मात्र कोहलीने जेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहिली तेव्हा खेळपट्टीवर गवत नव्हते आणि त्यामुळे कोहलीला धक्का बसला. आता इंग्लंडची यामध्ये एक मोठी चाल आहे. सध्याच्या घडीला भारतीय संघ वरचढ ठरत आहे आणि इंग्लंडची फलंदाजी ही चांगली होताना दिसत नाही. इंग्लंडचा कर्णधार जो रुटला वगळले तर एकाही फलंदाजाला आतापर्यंत चांगली खेळी साकारता आलेली नाही. त्यामुळे इंग्लंडला यावेळी भारतीय संघाची विजयाची लय बिघडवायची आहे. कारण भारताचे वेगवान गोलंदाज चांगल्या फॉर्मात आहेत आणि खेळपट्टीवरून गवत काढले तर त्यांना या गोष्टीचा फायदा मिळणार नाही. त्याचबरोबर इंग्लंडच्या फलंदाजांना यावेळी फॉर्मात येण्यासाठी खेळपट्टीचा चांगला फायदा होऊ शकतो. कारण ही खेळपट्टी फलंदाजांना पोषक ठरू शकते. त्यामुळे दोन्ही संघांना आपल्या पहिल्या डावात मोठी धावसंख्या उभारता येऊ शकते. दोन्ही संघांनी पहिल्या डावात खेळताना ३ किंवा ४ दिवस घेतले तर सामना अनिर्णीत होऊ शकतो आणि भारताची विजयाची लय बिघडू शकते. त्यामुळे इंग्लंडने पूर्ण विचारानिशी खेळपट्टीवर गवत ठेवलेले नाही. त्यामुळे नाणेफेक जिंकल्यावर कोणताही संघ प्रथम फलंदाजी करायला प्राधान्य देईल आणि मोठी धावसंख्या उभारेल. या गोष्टीचा फायदा इंग्लंडच्या संघाला चांगलाच होऊ शकतो. त्यामुळे तिसरी कसोटी अनिर्णीत राखून चौथ्या कसोटीत विजयाचे स्वप्न आता इंग्लंडचा संघ पाहत आहे. तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यात धावांचे डोंगर उभारले गेले तर सामना कोणीही जिंकू शकणार नाही आणि भारताची विजयाची लय तुटू शकते. त्यामुळे इंग्लंडच्या खेळपट्टीमध्ये मोठा बदल केल्याचे म्हटले जात आहे. त्यामुळे आता तिसऱ्या कसोटीचा निकाल काय लागतो, याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष लागलेले असेल.

अन्याय झालेल्या अश्विनला तिसऱ्या कसोटीत तरी संधी मिळणार, जाणून घ्या ही खास गोष्ट...

हेडिंग्ले : फॉर्मात असेलल्या आर. अश्विनला संघाबाहेर करण्याचा धक्कादायक निर्णय इंग्लंडविरुद्धच्या पहिल्या कसोटी सामन्यात घेण्यात आला होता. त्यानंतर दुसऱ्या कसोटीसाठीही अश्विनला संघाबाहेर ठेवले. पण आता तिसऱ्या कसोटीत तरी अन्याय झालेल्या अश्विनला संधी मिळू शकते, असे चित्र निर्माण झाले आहे. कारण एक महत्वाची गोष्ट आज घडली असून त्यानुसार अश्विनला तिसऱ्या सामन्यात संधी मिळण्याची दाट शक्यता निर्माण झाली आहे. तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यापूर्वी एक महत्वाची गोष्ट आज घडल्याचे पाहायला मिळाले. कारण भारताचा कर्णधार विराट कोहली जेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहण्यासाठी गेला तेव्हा त्याला धक्काच बसला. कारण या खेळपट्टीवर गवत ठेवण्यात आलेले नाही. त्यामुळे या खेळपट्टीवर वेगवान गोलंदाजांना जास्त मदत मिळणार नसल्याचे दिसत आहे. त्यामुळे भारतीय संघ तिसऱ्या सामन्यात चार वेगवान गोलंदाज खेळवेल, असे दिसत नाही. त्यामुळे या सामन्यात तीन वेगवान आणि दोन फिरकी गोलंदाजांसह भारतीय संघ उतरू शकतो. त्यामुळे या सामन्यात अश्विनची खेळण्याची शक्यता वाढेलली आहे. त्याचबरोबर दुसरीकडे रवींद्र जडेजा अजूनपर्यंत पूर्णपणे फिट असल्याचे दिसत नाही. त्यामुळे जर तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यात जर जडेजा खेळणार नसेल तर अश्विन हा भारतीय संघापुढे सर्वात चांगला पर्याय असू शकतो. त्यामुळे या तिसऱ्या कसोटीत अश्विन खेळण्याची दाट संधी निर्माण झाली आहे. त्यामुळे अश्विन आता उद्याच्या सामन्यात खेळणार की नाही, याची उत्सुकता सर्वांनाच असेल. खेळपट्टी पाहिल्यावर विराट कोहली नेमकं काय म्हणाला, जाणून घ्या...जेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहण्यासाठी कोहली मैदानात गेला तेव्हा त्याला धक्का बसला. याबाबत कोहली म्हणाला की, " तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी खेळपट्टी पाहायला मी मैदानात गेलो आणि मला धक्काच बसला. कारण या सामन्यासाठी खेळपट्टीवर गवत ठेवण्यात येईल, असे मला वाटले होते. पण खेळपट्टीवर मला गवत दिसले नाही." त्यामुळे खेळपट्टीवर गवत नसेल तर वेगवान गोलंदाजांना जास्त मदत मिळणार नाही. तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी विजयी संघात बदल करण्यात येणार नाही, असे कोहली म्हणाला असला तरी त्यांना आता खेळपट्टीनुसारच आपला संघ निवडावा लागणार आहे. अश्विनला हा कोणत्याही खेळपट्टीवर विकेट मिळवू शकतो आणि तो उपयुक्त फलंदाजीही करू शकतो.

Pitch Report : तिसऱ्या कसोटीची खेळपट्टी पाहून विराट कोहलीला बसला मोठा धक्का, म्हणाला...

हेडिंग्ले : तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्याला आता काही तासांमध्येच सुरुवात होणार आहे. पण तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्याची खेळपट्टी जेव्हा भारताचा कर्णधार विराट कोहलीने पाहिली तेव्हा त्याला मोठा धक्का बसला. त्याचबरोबर या खेळपट्टीबाबतचे विराटने आपले मत व्यक्त केले आहे. तिसरा कसोटी सामना बुधवारपासून हेडिंग्लेच्या मैदानात सुरु होणार आहे. या सामन्यासाठी खेळपट्टी कशी असेल, याचे चित्र कोहलीने आपल्या मानत तयार केले होते. त्यामुळे जेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहण्यासाठी कोहली मैदानात गेला तेव्हा त्याला धक्का बसला. याबाबत कोहली म्हणाला की, " तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी खेळपट्टी पाहायला मी मैदानात गेलो आणि मला धक्काच बसला. कारण या सामन्यासाठी खेळपट्टीवर गवत ठेवण्यात येईल, असे मला वाटले होते. पण खेळपट्टीवर मला गवत दिसले नाही. त्यामुळे आता कोणत्या खेळाडूंना या सामन्यासाठी संधी द्यायची, याचा निर्णय आम्ही बुधवारीच घेणार आहोत." आतापर्यंंत दोन्ही कसोटी सामन्यांमध्ये खेळप्टटीवर गवत होते आणि पण आता तिसऱ्या कसोटीसाठी मात्र खेळपट्टीवर गवत ठेवण्यात आलेले नाही.त्यामुळे कोहलीने जेव्हा खेळपट्टी पाहिली तेव्हा कोहलीला धक्का बसला. त्यामुळे आता कदाचित भारतीय संघातील एक वेगवान गोलंदाज संघाबाहेर जाण्याची शक्यता आहे. कारण या खेळपट्टीवर वेगवान गोलंदाजांना जास्त मदत मिळणार नाही. त्यामुळे भारतीय संघा या सामन्यासाठी तीन वेगवान आणि दोन फिरकी गोलंदाजांसह उतरण्याची दाट शक्यता आहे. त्यामुळे उद्या सामन्याच्यापूर्वी जेव्हा संघ जाहीर करण्यात येईल, तेव्हा कोणत्या खेळाडूंना संघी मिळते याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष लागलेले असेल. भारताने ऐतिहासिक लॉर्ड्स मैदानावर झालेल्या दुसऱ्या कसोटीत विजय मिळून मालिकेत १-० अशी आघाडी घेतली आहे. या विजयामुळे भारताचा आत्मविश्वास उंचावला आहे. मालिकेतील पहिल्या दोन्ही कसोटी भारताची कामगिरी शानदार झाली. पण मधळ्या फळीतील कामगिरी चिंताजनक आहे. मधळ्या फळीत पुजाराच्या जागी सूर्यकुमार यादवला संधी दिली जाऊ शकते. त्याच बरोबर आर अश्विनला संघाबाहेर ठेवल्यामुळे टीका झाली होती. अशात विकेट घेण्यास अपयशी ठरलेल्या रविंद्र जडेजाच्या जागी आर अश्विनला संधी दिली जाऊ शकते. त्यामुळे तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी भारतीय संघात हे दोन मोठे बदल होण्याची शक्यता वर्तवण्यात येत आहे.

तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी भारतीय संघात होऊ शकतात दोन मोठे बदल, जाणून घ्या कोणते...

नवी दिल्ली : भारत आणि इंग्लंड यांच्यातील तिसरा सामना आता काही तासांवर येऊन ठेपला आहे. या सामन्यासाठी भारतीय संघात दोन मोठे बदल होऊ शकतात, असे दिसत आहे. पहिला बदलभारतीय संघात पहिला बदल हा वेगवान गोलंदाजीमध्ये होऊ शकतो. कारण भारताचा वेगवान गोलंदाज शार्दुल ठाकूर हा आता पूर्णपणे फिट झाला आहे. शार्दुलने पहिल्या सामन्यात दमदार कामगिरी केली होती. पण दुसऱ्या कसोटीत त्याला दुखापतीमुळे खेळता आले नव्हते. शार्दुल हा एक चांगला वेगवान गोलंदाज तर आहेच, पण तो उपयुक्त फलंदाजीही करू शकतो. त्यामुळे भारतीय संघ त्याचा एक अष्टपैलू खेळाडू म्हणून विचार करत आहे. त्यामुळे शार्दुलचे भारतीय संघातील स्थान महत्वाचे आहे. त्यामुळे पहिल्या कसोटीतील कामगिरीच्या जोरावर शार्दुलला तिसऱ्या सामन्यात खेळण्याची संधी मिळण्याची आशा आहे. पण शार्दुलला संघात स्थान द्यायचे असेल तर त्यासाठी इशांत शर्माला संघातून वगळावे लागणार आहे. दुसरा बदलभारतीय संघातील अष्टपैलू खेळाडू रवींद्र जडेजा हा पूर्णपणे फिट नसल्याचे दिसत आहे. त्याचबरोबर गेल्या दोन्ही कसोटी सामन्यांमध्ये जडेजाला चांगली कामगिरी करता आलेली नाही. त्यामुळे तिसऱ्या कसोटीसाठी भारतीय संघात जडेजाच्या जागी आर. अश्विनची निवड करण्यात येऊ शकते. कारण जेव्हा अश्विनला पहिल्या कसोटीमधून वगळले होते, तेव्हा सर्वांनाच धक्का बसला होता. अश्विनने इंग्लंडमध्येही आतापर्यंत चांगली कामगिरी केली असली तरी त्याला अजूनही या मालिकेत संधी मिळालेली नाही. पण तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यात मात्र जडेजाच्या जागी आता अश्विनला संधी मिळण्याची दाट शक्यता आहे. तिसऱ्या कसोटी सामन्यासाठी अजून एक बदल करायचा झाला तर सूर्यकुमार यादवला भारतीय संघात स्थान मिळू शकते. पण सूर्यकुमारला संघात स्थान द्यायचे असेल तर कोणाला वगळायचे, हा मोठा प्रश्न भारतीय संघापुढे असेल. पण सूर्यकुमारला खेळवण्याचा भारतीय संघाचा निर्णय झाला असेल तर कदाचित चेतेश्वर पुजाराला एका सामन्यासाठी विश्रांती देण्यात येऊ शकते.
