‘Kohli goes to him quite a bit to bring some energy’: Ex-NZ captain

On Monday, in India’s 1-0 victory over New Zealand in the series, former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori gave a high praise to Indian walker Mohammed Siraj.

In a show on ESPNCricinfo, Vettori analyzed India’s record of 372 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in the second test, supporting his claim that Siraj is “special” because he brings a lot of energy, but not Let it affect his bowling. “Siraj is special. Every time he participates in a test match, something happens. (Virat) Kohli walks up to him and brings some energy, and his pace remains the same. He runs hard and does it from the fast bowler. Everything you want to do,” Vittori said.

He then went on to add that he would not take anything from veteran Ishant Sharma, while insisting that Siraj would be the obvious choice for a trip to South Africa. “This is not to reduce Ishant Sharma’s anything, but I just think the timing is right for people like Siraj to come in and provide something special for the Indian bowling lineup under South African conditions,” Vettori concluded.

So far, Siraj has had an unparalleled impact in his fledgling testing career. In 10 innings, 33 wickets were scored with an average strike rate of 27.69 and 53.8.

He also helped India win a big victory in Mumbai. Missed the first test due to the split of the webbing on his hand, and was injured in the T20I series against the Black Caps. Siraj used all the gun fire to suppress the New Zealander’s batsman in the first game. He returned with a 3/19 stat after 4 rounds, making his opponent’s highest ranking uneasy.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
