“That is the way in which cricket should be played,” Gambhir said about the promotion of Axar. “I know that many people talk about that, but that is the way we could play, and that is the way in which the cryket should be played. It is not the batting order, it is who can create what impact. And it’s just about whether you have the option of putting a mass of left on the middle;
“Why would you want to have the first five as handlers on the right? [in which] He got the opportunity, he gave us. I know that you will always talk, there will always be people talking about that, but I think so we want to go in the future. “
That Gambhir likes left right -wing combinations is no secret. When he returned to Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor, his left -wing associations increased from 58% in 2022 and 2023, to 74% in 2024. Having said that, it does not seem to be an unhealthy obsession. For example, it does not penalize Rahul, who has done his work in the average order well, just being a batter on the right.
Gambhir: I wanted to see what Jaiswal can bring to the table
“He was not supposed to be in bank throughout the series,” Gambhir said. “We wanted to give Yashavi a march in the first game and see what can bring to the table because it was in a very good way in Australia. So we wanted to see what kind of tickets can play. I know you can ‘judge someone for an entrance, But he always knew that Shreyas is going to be an important player for us.
“So, sometimes, when you only have three games, you want to try to rotate your squad. Look, as for today, we could have easily played Shami, but we wanted to try Arsh. We could have played Jadaja as good, but we also gave him To Washi.
