Overview:
Ashwin made it clear that he is not comparing Anshul with Bumrah or Zaheer, but he says that Anshul’s thinking and game sense is like these veterans. “Zaheer Khan had a deep understanding of planning. Bumrah also falls in this category. Anshul is also the same bowler.”
Delhi: Former Indian off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has praised young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj, saying that he is a special type of bowler who does not depend on speed and swing, but also understands the position of the match well. Ashwin said that Anshul comes in the rare group that includes bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Jaspreet Bumrah.
‘This player understands the plan’
Speaking on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’, Ashwin said, “The most important thing about Anshul is that he understands the plan. I have seen many fast bowlers who say that they just say that they want to express themselves and enjoy the game. But Anshul knows what is the plan and how to apply it on the field.”
No comparison with Bumrah and Zaheer, but thinking is similar
Ashwin made it clear that he is not comparing Anshul with Bumrah or Zaheer, but he says that Anshul’s thinking and game sense is like these veterans. “Zaheer Khan had a deep understanding of planning. Bumrah also falls in this category. Anshul is also the same bowler.”
Has done impressive performance before England tour
The 24 -year -old Haryana fast bowler performed brilliantly against England Lions from India A. He took a total of five wickets in four innings played in Northampton and Cantorbury and impressed everyone with his late movement and bounce.
The ability also appeared in IPL
Ashwin also praised Anshul’s natural length and the status of the best wrist. “His tap is very good. I also saw this in the IPL. His wrist position is fantastic and he bowls with a straight seam. He never wanders with his length.”
A deadly attack with Bumrah-Siraj
Ashwin believes that if Anshul is included in Test playing XI with Bumrah and Siraj, India will have a dangerous bowling attack. “If Anshul is given a chance, he can prove himself at that level.”
10 wickets in Ranji Trophy
Recalling Anshul’s 10 -wicket performance against Kerala in the last Ranji season, Ashwin said that this player is capable of putting a long spell. “He is in constant form and his average is only 13 in first class cricket. Similar bowlers are required in England.”
Management will have to play an important role
However, Ashwin also said that if Anshul gets a chance to make a test debut in Old Trafford, then the team management will have to help in maintaining his confidence. “People can say that he has not played an international match in England, but he was there on a tour and he has proved himself. Just need to keep him calm.”
