‘Ask any top batsman. No one would want to face him’: Gambhir’s massive praise for 31-year-old ‘threatening’ India pacer

The Indian Pacers enjoyed a fantastic outing on Day 2 of Cape Town’s second Test against South Africa. Proteas were eliminated by 210 wickets, with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur picking all 10 wickets together. A seventh five-wicket wicket was recorded in the Test as Bumrah led the attack and was the star of the day, with Umesh and Shami each loading one wicket while Thakur picked up one.

However, while it was Bumrah who broke the back of the South African attack, a special spell cast by Shami turned the game upside down. In one match, Shami sacked Temba Bavuma to break up a promising partnership and followed its ducks with a Kyle Verreynne wicket. Suddenly, from 112/3, South Africa slipped to 159 on 159 from 6 and ended up 13 points behind India’s first innings. Impressed by Shami’s fine spell, former India opener Gautam Gambier spoke highly of the 31-year-old Pacers, calling him the most threatening bowler in the series. And probably throughout the series. The kind of length he bowls, constantly testing the batsman. Ask any top batsman. No one wants to face him. He bowled so close to the stump that he was always in or around the stump. From there, he got the movement, and from there he got the edge,” Gambhir said on Star Sports’ Byju’s Live Cricket Show. In the world at the moment. “I think Mohammed Shami or Jasprit Bumrah will continue to challenge any batting. hand. More of me, Mohammed Shami is ruthless, he is very threatening. He’s probably one of the best bowlers in red-ball cricket,” added Gambier.

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.”
