vvvslaxman Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Can't help compare him with Ajantha Mendis who didn't overly turn yet kept beating the batsmen. Lord 1
tapandrun Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Just now, vvvslaxman said: Can't help compare him with Ajantha Mendis who didn't overly turn yet kept beating the batsmen. think he was playing along side murli who is hard to score and pure wkt taker and then if batter needs to score of a v.new kind of bowling mystery spin that would be hard to pick and score off.

R!TTER Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Tahir more than Rashid, RK is genuinely ATG level in LO for me while Tahir was a rung below.

For him to play every format the template is Theekshana who is similar type of bowler. Needs good stock ball and habit of bowling lot of overs. Need different mentality for 10 over bowling compared to 4 overs where batsman is always on the charge.
Lord Posted March 10 Posted March 10 He's more Narine than Mendis. Has survived many years in IPL Need4Speed, neel roy, Ultimate_Game and 2 others 5
Need4Speed Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Heard he worked a lot on his line and length for this comeback.. that helps a lot for longevity..if you get a good control over it and makes mystery more effective
Laaloo Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Hes decent but he needs to be really really good to overcome the shortcomings with the bat and in the field. Or he will be phased out soon. He won't get a long rope thats for sure.
vvvslaxman Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Rohit after so many inept captaincy moves in 2023 world cup finally used Varun better. He used him as a strike bowler alongwith Kuldeep. ON the other end Jadeja/Axar were used for run containing.

For that same reason Gambhir should not coaching Test cricket.His teams have looked lost in test cricket bereft of any plan. Even yesterday Rohit was just waiting out when they were building that partnership that too after quick wickets. Look at how NZ rallied to fight yesterday, do you think at 105/0 Indian bowling and Rohit was taking NZ to 49th over. But like saying goes, it is better to be lucky captain than being good captain. singhvivek141 and Gollum 2
neel roy Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Bhai 14 saal ho gaye. Sunil Narine is still the King in Kkr. Bade batsman aaye gaye Narine reh gaye. So hope next 3 years Varun ka jadoo chalega
