‘He can walk into any T20 team in the world not just India’

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was full of praise for India’s 28-year-old star Jasprit Bumrah, while calling India’s T20I team “spoiled” in their bowling department.

Gavaska’s comments came shortly after India’s 3-0 win over West Indies in Kolkata on Sunday. However, due to workload management, Bumrah did not play in the series as he was resting.

In an interview with Star Sports, Gavasca also praised Deepak Chahal’s ability to swing the ball to either side without a noticeable change in movement. The legendary batsman then hailed India’s abundance of tempo options for the T20 World Cup squad and added Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj to the list.

“He’s a great swing bowler. He also has extra speed. He’s not fast, but he moves the ball well, which makes it difficult for batsmen. And he has both an inside swing and an outside swing. , but there was no noticeable change in action, which made the game difficult. So when you have guys like him and you have Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the bench after two great performances in the series, India is bowling Wealth in terms of luck is lucky,” he said.

“There’s Bumra. Don’t forget him he’ll go to any team in the world, not just India, any team. Then you’ll be spoilt for choice with Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami.”

Bumrah will be back home for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka starting in Lucknow on February 24.

Bhuvneshwar, Chahar and Siraj are also included, along with Avesh Khan, who only made his debut for India in his third T20I against West Indies. Both Shami and Shardul Thakur rested for the series.

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.”
