Mukesh Kumar, the right arm speedster has been the talking point for his spot on Yorkers during the death overs of the ongoing T20I Series against Australia. Mukesh Kumar has shown brilliant control over his line & length and is a star in the making. Mukesh has bowled pinpoint deliveries at the back end of the overs.
Mukesh Kumar doesn’t have that express pace but has got all the credentials to deceive the batters with his foxy variations. Mukesh had made his T20I debut way back against West Indies during August 2023. The pacer all of a sudden has become an integral part of the side which may be astounding but it is the fact
India would be aiming to seal the T20I series on 28th November as the Aussies haven’t been able to dominate the terms which has surprised the opposition. We witnessed how India’s top order dictated the terms with the bat in hand in the first 2 T20Is which may not sound well for T20 WC 2021 champions.
Mukesh Kumar is the most impressive of the lot- Zaheer Khan
Zaheer Khan was having an interaction with Cricbuzz and heaped praise on Mukesh Kumar and said that the bowler was clear in his thought process and bowling those tough overs are never easy at the back end of the overs. Zaheer Khan also was impressed with the growth of Arshdeep Singh during the death overs.
“Mukesh Kumar is the most impressive of the lot. There’s no doubt about it. You get the feeling that he’s been preparing for this kind of role. He’s very clear with his thought process; he knows that he’ll be bowling those tough overs at the back end, and those yorkers are coming out very nicely,” said Zaheer Khan.
“He consistently bowled those yorkers, even in the previous game. Once you are backing game after game, that shows that you’re growing in confidence. “The captain holding his (Arshdeep’s) three overs for later shows that he is their go-to bowler. You don’t want to use his overs upfront. You want to put that responsibility on him,” he added.
