Delhi: Anil Kumble has given his opinion about the bowling attack of South Africa in the Champions Trophy 2025. He believes that South Africa’s fast bowlers – Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, and Lungi Engidi – is the most effective and diverse attack for this tournament, which is always useful in favorable conditions for the bowlers.
South Africa’s bowling
On Saturday, South Africa defeated England and made it to the semi -finals. In their two group stage matches (canceled due to one rain), South Africa dismissed England for 179 runs and Afghanistan at 208, which is the lowest score in the innings completed in this edition.
Diversity of bowlers
Kumble said in Espncricinfo’s “Match Day” show, “All three fast bowlers of South Africa are completely different. Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Negidi are all three long stature and their bowling style is also completely different from each other. Rabada is a very classic bowler, while Nagidi’s action is very strange and Jansen’s bowling comes from height. All these bowlers create a challenge for the batsmen, because their method and angles are different. “
Difficult for batsmen
Kumble further said, “Even though the pitch is flat, it is not easy for the batsmen to make a line due to these three bowlers. Their diversity is something that can give South Africa confident close to the end of the tournament. ”
