"Has Rohit Sharma-Like Abilities": Gautam Gambhir Backs This Off-Colour India Star

The Indian cricket team is going through a great run in the Asia Cup as it became the first side to enter the Super-4 stage. With wins over Pakistan and Hong Kong, the Rohit Sharma-led side looks a confident lot. Performances from players like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar are great positives for Team India ahead of the T20 World Cup. However, one player who has failed to fire as expected is KL Rahul. He was out for a duck in the match against Pakistan, while against Hong Kong, Rahul scored 36 off 39 balls. His slow knock came under a lot of focus, however, he has found backing from former Indian cricket team batter Gautam Gambhir.

Suryakumar Yadav sets benchmark in build-up to T20 World Cup

Suryakumar Yadav was still spreading the joy as he walked in for the press conference after his spectacular 26-ball 68 against Hong Kong. India’s T20 stalwart looks like he is having a ball when he is out in the middle these days, and even during the 11-minute interaction, he wore a charming smile right through. Surya’s unbeaten knock came against a team comprising a bunch of semi-professionals, but still, his dominance was impressive. As he propelled India to a target that was beyond the batting credentials of Hong Kong, Virat Kohli bowed to him and decided to walk behind Surya back to the dressing room. Kohli, a man used to playing eye-catching knocks and grabbing the spotlight, was nearly lost in the shadow of Surya’s brilliance. For a man grinding back into form, Kohli was astounded by Surya’s nonchalance while dismissing the disciplined Hong Kong attack on a dual-paced pitch.
