‘Don’t create something which you can’t’: Gambhir on search for next Kapil Dev

The Indian team has emerged as one of the strongest units of any kind, both in home and away conditions. The team has a solid batting lineup with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and others leading the attack. The speed bowling division has also witnessed an uptick in the charts, while Indian spinners still continue to have a lasting impact in most games.

However, one area where India is still struggling to find representation is the fast bowling all-around slot. Several players such as Irfan Pathan and Hardik Pandya had high hopes over the years but failed to maintain their lead.

Looking at the trend, former India batsman Gautam Gambhir said the BCCI should start developing players domestically for this role and then make them part of the national system.

“Honestly, we’ve been talking about not having an all-rounder since Kapil Dev. So go ahead and try to develop talent at Ranji Trophy and once they’re ready, get them into international cricket,” the former India player told TODAY Sports .

Gambhir thinks it’s time for the BCCI to embrace this and look for ways to develop A-level youth both at home and in India. He added that the international tour is about transporting, not developing, talent.

“If you don’t have something, don’t go after it. You have to accept it and move on. Don’t try to create something you can’t create; that’s the problem.”

“I’ve always believed that the point of international cricket is to deliver and not to groom someone. Grooming happens domestically and at Indian A-level. When you represent your country, you should be ready to go there and perform directly,” he explained further. Say.

India relies heavily on Pandya to fill the void, but the 28-year-old has barely moved his arm since he underwent successful back surgery in 2019. His batting has also suffered due to his health. Shardul Thakur has become an interesting prospect in his absence, but the 30-year-old is still very raw on the international stage, with just seven Tests and 17 ODIs.
