New Delhi: Former Cricketer India Gautam Gambir believes there is only one person who can take someone like Jasprit Bumrah, and “it is AB De Villiers”.
Former Kolkata Knight Riders Captain further said that Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore has several good players who can dominate the opposition.
Before the delay of IPL 2021 because the Covid outbreak in his bio-bubble, RCB has won five of their seven matches and comfortably placed in third place on the table points.
The second phase of the league is a few more days while Kohli & Co will seek to aim for the first degree.
In a conversation with Star Sports Network, Gambir said, “He (Virat) makes people like AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell, which is a big pillow to have.
Even if it’s not Maxwell, AB is a big pillow because there is only one.
People who can take someone like Jasprit BMRAH and it is AB De Villiers.
I haven’t seen anyone else who has done it consistently against the bumrah, but AB is a strange person.
“Spinning-spinning politicians also highlighted the amount of pressure on Kohli and de Villiers Because they will root for a title victory.
“But yes obviously, from the standard of virat they want to go out and dominate the opposition, especially in the IPL.
There are international cricket where you have five or six top international Bowlers, you don’t have it on the IPL.” You might get two or three international Bowlers and then you also have a domestic bowler, which you can dominate.
So, there may be a lot of pressure on Virat and AB too, which can be one reason and year after year if you don’t win the pressure it continues to increase too, “said Gambir.
The second leg of the IPL 2021 will begin on September 19 in Dubai.
RCB will Started their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders on September 20 in Abu Dhabi.
