Mumbai: Former Indian Cricket Gautam Gambir said that the Off-Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin selection in the squad for the T20 World Cup men gave a truly new Indian team dimension.
He added that Ashwin was a quality Cricketer who was supposed to play more white ball cricket.
Ashwin last played T20i in July 2017 against West Indies and has been ignored in a format since then.
With Washington Sundar was not available due to a finger injury, he opened the door for Ashwin to secure a place on the 15-player squad.
“Very happy for Ashwin.
Maybe, he shouldn’t come out of the white ball cricket, and now he returns.
You have to give it to the voters and they buy it back.
It only gives you a completely new dimension,” Gambir said.
“He is someone, who can bowl with a new ball, he is someone who can bowl in the middle Overs, he is someone who can bowl in death too – depending on his condition if he gets the game.
For me, he, he is a quality cricketer , which should play more black-ball cricket, compared to what he has played, “Gambir added.
The 39-year-old player was in full praise from the Yadav Suryakumar Batsman which made him a squad for the T20 World Cup and explained how Yadav was better than Shreyas Iyer, mentioned in the backup.
“Surya is a completely different class, compared to Shreyas Iyer.
He is far more flexible; he is also far more orthodoko, and that is what T20 Cricket means he can trim you, he can be late to cut you, he can hit you more than extra cover; He has all shots, especially at no.4, because sometimes no.4 is the most complicated position for bats in the Kricket T20, maybe the easiest is the top three, but no.4, because you might be when you lose two initial goals and You still want to continue momentum.
“” Sometimes you come to the middle, when you get what is 130 for 2, and you must continue with momentum.
So, solar has both types of change, which might not have Shreyas Iyer.
And again, You have to.
Be careful that he will come after a serious injury and you never know what kind of shape he is at the second leg of the IPL too.
So, they go with someone, who has mela Its very well, because he has left.
Introducing to international cricket, “signed Gambir.
India will start their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistani Group 2 rivals in Dubai on October 24.
