‘Those players, who had only eleven or thirteen wikis’: Sunil Gavaskar highly praised for young Indian bowlers

Team India is next. The five Indian bowlers they regularly pick in their XI play are all injured. Their talismanic skipper is also missing. Two bats that were likely to play a major role in the series were also injured. But still, an Indian cricket team has been living in the four-match Test series against Australia’s all-encompassing side. They just not fight forwards but also fight back.

Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Hanuma Vihari, KL Rahul, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar have all lost part of the Test series or the entire tournament itself.

Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, and T Natarajan have all started in this series while Shardul Thakur (1 Test) has also started for India in Brisbane. The situation is so great that an opening bat (Mayank Agarwal) plays in the middle order. But still, India has a chance to win the series. As soon as you count them out, fight Team India.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has also praised the team and the performance put in by the inexperienced bowling attack. Even though playing against the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner, India managed to limit Australia to just 369 runs in ‘Gabba Fortress’ despite another injury to the Saini player.

“Our young archers performed very well. Yes, there was a partnership between Paine and Green. Our archers had started very slowly today; Natarajan was beaten for two fours in his first outing, “Gavaskar said in a discussion on Sony Sports Network.

“But then, as they were bowling, it was commendable, and I enjoyed seeing that. It was those players, who had just the eleven or thirteen wickets before the start of the game. game, bowling very well; Australia were likely to get a 400-450 run at one point, “he said.

After being reduced to 186/6, Shardul and Washington have formed a 50+ partnership to give India a top 250.
