IND vs NZ: Gautam Gambhir’s Formula – “Score 1000 Runs, No Winning Guarantee!” Emphasizes It’s the Era of Bowlers
Indian cricket team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has once again expressed his confidence regarding the bowling unit. Gambhir believes that it is the era of bowlers, and batters will have to let go of their stubborn mindset.
This self-assurance has resulted in the Indian team’s bowling unit successfully taking 26 wickets in the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. Now, India will play the upcoming Test series against New Zealand starting from October 16.
Gambhir’s Insights Ahead of the Test Series Against New Zealand
Before the Test series against New Zealand, Gautam Gambhir stated, “This is the era of bowlers. Batters are only responsible for laying the foundation to win matches.
Batters will have to forget their stubborn mindset. Even if the team scores 1,000 runs in batting, there is no guarantee of winning. However, if the bowlers take 20 wickets in a match, there is a 99 percent guarantee of winning.”
Gambhir Highlights the Evolution of Indian Bowlers
Additionally, Gambhir mentioned, “In India, there is often more excitement about batting, but bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja have worked to change this mindset.
Bumrah operates with cleverness in Test cricket. It is a positive sign that our bowlers are changing the standards of global cricket. Bumrah is currently the best fast bowler in the world, capable of changing the course of any match at any moment.”
Jasprit Bumrah Named Vice-Captain for Test Series Against New Zealand
The team has placed immense trust in Jasprit Bumrah, appointing him as the vice-captain for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. Bumrah has jointly reached the top position for the most wickets taken in Test matches this year. He, along with England’s Gus Atkinson and Sri Lanka’s Prabath Jayasuriya, has taken 38 wickets this year.
