‘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.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.
