India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been tipped to be India’s next Mohammed Shami as Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar performed exceptionally for the Men in Blue when given the opportunity. I believe it is possible. The 30-year-old bowled brilliantly against Australia in his first T20 of the five-match series.
Mukesh Kumar is known for his ability to bowl long balls and create movement off the field. The Bengal pacer has troubled batsmen in domestic cricket for years with his line and length and he is looking to repeat the same against top-class batsmen in international cricket as well.
Ravikhandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that Mukesh Kumar has similar characteristics to Shami, saying that he had impressed against West Indies in the two-match Test series. I remember that performance.
“At first I thought Mohammad Siraj was Junior Shami, but now I feel it could be Mukesh Kumar.” Shami is called “Lala” and I is a tribute to actor Mohanlal, whom he calls Shammi Lalettan.
“Mukesh Kumar has a similar build, height, and great wrist position. He has a great wrist strike and great backspin on the ball.” He has a very nice fastball. It has beautiful alignment. He bowled very well in the series in West Indies and was excellent in the practice match in Barbados,” Ravichandran Ashwin said.
Mukesh Kumar has been knocking on the door of the Indian team for quite some time now. However, his strength is his run-of-the-mill, traditional bowling. In the match against Australia, Mukesh remained wicketless but he was limited to just 29 runs in 4 overs as Australia set a huge target of 209 runs for the Men in Blue in Visakhapatnam. .
Waqar Younis Said That This Boy Is Talented And Will Go A Long Way – Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravikhandran Ashwin recalled Mukesh Kumar’s early days and his evolution as a player in all three formats of the game. The 30-year-old performed very well to secure his place in India’s team.
“Waqar said the boy had talent and would go far. He then played in the Ranji Trophy where WV Raman coached him and encouraged him further. ,” Ravichandran Ashwin added.
Mukesh Kumar has been one of the top talents of the last few years and his record with the red ball speaks volumes about his credibility. He already has good line and length control, has gained valuable experience and could be an important player for the Men in Blue in the future.
