Ο Gautam Gambhir εξέφρασε την εμπιστοσύνη στην ομάδα Trophy Trophy Champion India, υποστηρίζοντας τον Varun Chakravarti ως βασικό παίκτη.
After the clean sweep in the IND vs ENG ODI series, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir looks confident in the team. Ahead of the Champions Trophy, it was a major boost India wanted after a series of defeats in Test cricket. Gautam Gambhir himself came to address the media after the 3rd ODI, also answering questions related to the Champions Trophy. Gambhir highlighted the strategic inclusion of Varun Chakravarthy in the Champions Trophy squad, focusing on his potential to challenge opposition batters during the crucial middle overs. According to Gambhir, despite missing the third ODI due to a sore calf, Chakravarthy remains an important part of India’s bowling plan.
Gambhir on Varun Chakravarthy’s inclusion
Gambhir expressed confidence in Varun’s ability to deliver in unfamiliar conditions, stating that he serves as an “x-factor” against teams that haven’t faced him before. “Look, the only reason was because we wanted another wicket-taking option in the middle [overs]Τα προφίλ και γνωρίζουμε ότι ο Varun φέρνει στο τραπέζι, γνωρίζουμε ότι ο Varun μπορεί να αποτελέσει τεράστια απειλή. Και με πολλές ομάδες που δεν τον έπαιξαν, θα μπορούσε επίσης να είναι ένας παράγοντας X. Δεν πρόκειται να πω ότι πρόκειται να ξεκινήσει και όλα αυτά, αλλά είναι πάντα καλό να έχουμε μια ισχυρή γραμμή στο μπόουλινγκ, γιατί γνωρίζουμε ότι αν πραγματικά μπορεί να πάρει αυτές τις πύλες στη μέση, θα είναι πάντα ένα πλεονέκτημα .Είπε.
