Sunil Gavaskar praised Jasprit Bumrah and said that the player was someone who could just walk into any team in the world. Bumrah was not in action for the West Indies series, but he will return for the Sri Lanka series. The Indian vice-captain will be joined by Siraj, Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Avesh Khan to lead India’s bowling attack.
Sunil Gavaskar said that India have bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah who can walk into any team. “There is Bumrah. Don’t forget him. He will walk into any team in the world, not just the India team, any team. Then you have Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami…spoiled for choices,” he said.
Sunil Gavaskar further said that Indian pacer Deepak Chahar is a terrific swing bowler and can swing the ball both ways and trouble the batters. “He is a terrific swing bowler. He has that extra pace as well. He isn’t express but he gets the ball to move at a decent pace which makes it difficult for a batsman. And he has got both the in-swinger and the out-swinger without a noticeable change in action. So when you have someone like him and have Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the bench after two fine performances in the series, India are blessed as far as riches in bowling are concerned,” said Gavaskar in a chat on Star Sports.
Team India have recently whitewashed West Indies in three matches ODI and as many games T20I series. The Rohit Sharma-led side registered a thumping win against the carrabbeans. India will next face Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series, which will be played from 24th March to 27th March in Lucknow and Dharamsala.
