‘Worth the wait’: Zaheer Khan on Archer-Bumrah bowling together in IPL
Mumbai Indians director of cricket operations Zaheer Khan said the wait was worth the wait when Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah started tandem bowling for the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise.
Archer was snapped up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 8 crore on the second day of IPL’s mega-auction in Bengaluru. The England striker will be out of the IPL 2022 season and will only play for the team from next season.
“You eagerly wait for a partner to come on the pitch, and so do I. Seeing two legendary fast bowlers bowling in tandem, I’m glad it seems possible and worth the wait,” Zaheer said.
The Mumbai Indians also snapped up Singapore’s Tim David for Rs 825 crore in a major auction.
Speaking of Tim David, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahra Jayawardene said: “He is a red-hot player at the moment and is known to be a tough batsman. We know we have the funds available. , many hundred players are our target. Like Bumrah-Archer with the ball, Pollard-David with the bat.”
The Mumbai Indian also picked up Ishan Kishan (Rs 1,525 crore) and Arjun Tendulkar (Rs 3 crore) in the big auction.
“Ishan Kishan is an Indian batsman, he is a left-handed batsman. We always back ourselves when we see talent, Ishan is 23 years old and he is an important aspect of the team, that is Why we value him as a team. The dynamics of auctions, that’s the auction, and we’re happy to have him. Ishan works hard, he’s evolved. We’re looking forward to it,” Jayawardene said.

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.”
