"First Time In India...": Gambhir Urged To Stop "Blame Game" Amid Leak Saga

Reports surrounding the Indian dressing room and Gautam Gambhir have been at an all-time high, with some claiming recently that India batter Sarfaraz Khan was pointed at by the head coach for causing the 'leaks'. In a BCCI meeting between Gambhir, captain Rohit Sharma, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and other officials, Gambhir apparently put the blame on Sarfaraz for causing the dressing room leaks, as per a video report by News 24. While there has been no confirmation or proof regarding this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has explosively stated that such reports are not good for the team.

"The media is strong everywhere in Asia, be it Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan or India, you get news. But this is the first time I'm hearing such news (of team division and grouping) from the Indian camp," said Basit Ali, speaking on his YouTube channel.

Ali urged Gambhir to stop the "blame game" if any of the allegations are indeed true.

"There are talks that Sarfaraz (Khan) leaked the dressing room talks and the board meeting conversations were leaked. This is not a good sign; it affects the team unity. The faster it ends, the better," Ali said.

"There shouldn't be any blame game and Gautam Gambhir needs to play a role here. Was Sarfaraz there in the (BCCI review) meeting?" Ali stated further.

While news of the apparent leak hasn't been addressed by Gambhir, Sarfaraz or any member of the team, the BCCI have implemented a 10-point guideline for the players, with increased domestic cricket and reduced time with family members on tour some of the major points.

Basit Ali stated that it is important for the players, selectors and coaches to be on the same page, in order to maintain team harmony.

"There are four pillars - chairman, selectors, captain and players. They need to be together to form a good team. They should have the same mindset. All these four pillars should be on the same page. Such news is spread to affect the team environment and the media plays a key role. Whether it's targeted towards Virat, Rohit or another group at Gambhir," Basit Ali remarked.

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...

"We Talk About Kohli, Babar But...": Akram's Ultimate Praise For Rohit

India captain Rohit Sharma has made the Cricket World Cup 2023 his own, giving the team excellent starts right at the start of the innings, no matter which bowling attack he came across. Rohit's exploits at the top have played a big role in India's superlative show in the World Cup. In fact, Pakistan greats Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik even pointed out what separates Rohit from other top stars like Virat Kohli , Joe Root , Kane Williamson and Babar Azam . Akram and Malik, in a chat on A-Sports, didn't shy away from highlighting how different Rohit is from the rest, suggesting the India skipper doesn't spare any bowler from his wrath. "There's no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy no matter what the opposition or bowling attack," said Akram. "He's a kind of batter who will hit all five opposition bowler...
