‘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.
