Team India : ઐયરનું પત્તુ કટ,હવે આ ખેલાડી બની શકે છે ટીમ ઈન્ડિયાનો કેપ્ટન
આગામી દિવસોમાં ભારતીય ક્રિકેટ ટીમમાં પરિવર્તન અનિવાર્ય લાગે છે.સતત બીજી વખત T20 વર્લ્ડ કપ જીત્યા બાદ,ટીમ ઈન્ડિયામાં નેતૃત્વ પરિવર્તનની શક્યતા વધી ગઈ છે.ટીમને વર્લ્ડ કપ જીત તરફ દોરી જવા છતાં,સૂર્યકુમાર યાદવની કેપ્ટનશીપ જોખમમાં છે.અને તેમને દૂર કરવામાં આવે તેવી શક્યતા દેખાય છે.આને ધ્યાનમાં રાખીને,એક મહત્વપૂર્ણ દાવો કરવામાં આવ્યો છે.મીડિયા રિપોર્ટ અનુસાર સંજુ સેમસન ભારતીય ટીમના નવા T20 કેપ્ટન બની શકે છે.IPLસમાપ્ત થયા પછી તેમની નિમણૂક થઈ શકે છે.
શું સેમસન ટીમ ઈન્ડિયાના કેપ્ટન બનશે ?
ટી20 ફોર્મેટમાં ટીમ ઈન્ડિયાની કેપ્ટનશીપ અંગે અટકળો ચાલુ છે. એવું માનવામાં આવે છે કે આગલી વખતે જ્યારે ટીમ ઈન્ડિયા આ ફોર્મેટમાં મેદાનમાં ઉતરશે, ત્યારે એક નવો કેપ્ટન હશે. જોકે, નવા કેપ્ટન વિશે અલગ અલગ દાવા કરવામાં આવી રહ્યા છે. તાજેતરના એક અહેવાલમાં સૌપ્રથમ ખુલાસો થયો હતો કે પસંદગી સમિતિ વર્તમાન કેપ્ટન સૂર્યકુમાર યાદવના બેટિંગ ફોર્મેટથી નાખુશ છે અને તેથી, તેમને કેપ્ટનશીપમાંથી દૂર કરવામાં આવી શકે છે. આવી સ્થિતિમાં, શ્રેયસ ઐયરને આ જવાબદારી સોંપવામાં આવી શકે છે.
ઐયર સામે મોટો પડકાર
જોકે, મીડિયા રિપોર્ટ અનુસાર શ્રેયસ ઐયરને આ જવાબદારી સોંપવામાં આવી શકે છે. જો કે, સંજુનો હાથ ઉપર છે, અને તેનું એક મુખ્ય કારણ ટીમ ઈન્ડિયામાં તેની હાજરી છે. હકીકતમાં, સંજુ છેલ્લા બે વર્ષથી ટીમનો ભાગ છે અને અસંખ્ય શ્રેણીઓ અને ટુર્નામેન્ટમાં રમી ચૂક્યો છે.દરમિયાન, શ્રેયસ ઐયર 2023 થી T20 ટીમની બહાર છે. તેથી, ટીમમાં પાછા ફરવું એ ઐયર માટે પહેલો મોટો પડકાર છે, જે એક શક્યતા છે, પરંતુ તેમને સીધા કેપ્ટન તરીકે નિયુક્ત કરવાની સંભાવના અશક્ય લાગે છે.
શું સૂર્યકુમાર પત્તું કપાશે?
એટલું જ નહીં, રિપોર્ટમાં એવો પણ દાવો કરવામાં આવ્યો છે કે જો પસંદગી સમિતિ વર્તમાન કેપ્ટન સૂર્યકુમારને એક છેલ્લી તક આપવા માંગે છે, તો તે આયર્લેન્ડ અને ઇંગ્લેન્ડ પ્રવાસ પર ટીમનું નેતૃત્વ કરશે તેવી શક્યતા છે. આવી સ્થિતિમાં, સેમસનને ઉપ-કેપ્ટન તરીકે નિયુક્ત કરી શકાય છે. હાલમાં, ટીમના ઉપ-કેપ્ટન અક્ષર પટેલ છે, પરંતુ IPLમાં દિલ્હી કેપિટલ્સના કેપ્ટન તરીકે તેમનું સ્થાન જોતાં, પસંદગી સમિતિ આ જવાબદારી સેમસનને આપી શકે છે.

`TMWL is an opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent...`: Satghare
The Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) inaugural T20 Mumbai Women’s League (TMWL) is the perfect stage for promising players to get noticed and knock on the doors of bigger opportunities. The Women’s Premier League (WPL), and obviously Team India are major goals. This is the reason, the three icon players — Sayali Satghare (SoBo Mumbai Falcons), Saima Thakor (Thane Sky Risers) and Humairaa Kaazi (Aakash Tigers) — who will lead their respective teams, are all keen to lift the maiden TMWL trophy. However, the trio have also told mid-day about the individual goals they want to achieve at the competition that begins at the Wankhede Stadium from June 1.
Humairaa Kaazi (Aakash Tigers)
Pacer Satghare, 25, who has played one Test and three ODIs, is eyeing an India T20I call-up. “Definitely, any T20 tournament that I play is an opportunity to knock on the Indian team’s door. My goal is to get a place in the Indian [T20] side. Everyone is excited to play and it’s going to be a great tournament,” Satghare told mid-day on Friday.
Satghare, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL, reckoned that the TMWL will supply more Mumbai players to the WPL. “Rather than pressure, I would say the TMWL is an opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent and whatever skill they have at a higher level, so that the WPL scouts can see what they’re capable of. So, I would advise all players to see this as an opportunity and express themselves, and just play freely and fearlessly.”
Thakor, 29, who has played 10 ODIs and three T20Is, said: “We were waiting for a very long time for TMWL, and finally, we will get the opportunity to play at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. We [Thane Sky Risers] are going for the championship. Lifting the trophy at the Wankhede in the very first season is our sole aim.”
Saima Thakor (Thane Sky Risers)
Thakor, a UP Warriorz pacer in WPL, believes players should not hesitate to give their best to get noticed. “Standing out and doing something extraordinary [in TMWL] for the team will always get you opportunities,” she added.
Meanwhile, Kaazi, 32, believes her team is the most well-balanced outfit among the three sides. “We’ve got a brilliant team in terms of experience and youngsters. It’s a balanced side. This is the prime league for women in Mumbai, and talent scouts will be here, watching and analysing us. But while everyone will want to get noticed to get the opportunity to play at the higher level, the primary focus should always be on getting those runs and wickets,” said Kaazi.
Kaazi, who represents Mumbai Indians in WPL, wantrs her girls to enjoy this maiden opportunity. “I want to try and inculcate a mindset in the team where it’s just about going out there and enjoying your cricket,” said Kaazi.

IPL 2026: GT look to extend winning spree ahead of RR`s clash
An upbeat Gujarat Titans will be determined to continue their winning streak and leapfrog a wobbly Rajasthan Royals in their mid-table IPL clash here on Saturday.
Only the net run-rate separates GT (-0.147) from the fourth-placed RR (0.510) in the points table as the two teams have fared alike so far. Both GT and RR have six wins and four defeats in 10 matches each.
The Shubman Gill-led side will fancy their chances against the wobbly Royals, who have suffered three defeats in their last five matches. The Titans have racked up three wins on the trot, looking to break into the top four.
Captain Riyan Parag struck 90 in RR’s first-innings score of 225-6, but it was not enough against Delhi Capitals, who overhauled it with seven wickets and five balls to spare.
On their part, GT will be pleased at how they are peaking at the right time. Gill (378 runs) has been a consistent run-getter and will be keen on converting his start into a big score.

Rajeev Shukla speaks about stricter regulations to improve league`s transparency
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said the governing body is rolling out stricter regulations for IPL players to improve transparency and strengthen security arrangements during the tournament.
Shukla stated that fans and outsiders will no longer be allowed to meet players inside team hotels or buses, with the new rules expected to be implemented in the coming days.
“These rules are expected to be implemented within the next few days to ensure that the transparency of the IPL is maintained completely,” Shukla said.
On Friday the BCCI issued seven pages of guidelines for the IPL franchises, warning them about the potential dangers of targeted honey-trapping.
The board said it will conduct unannounced “surprise checks” to ensure strict adherence to the league’s extensive regulatory framework and operational guidelines.
