Because Mukesh Kumar is a bowler who can adapt to any format, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly believed he should be given more opportunities for India in the future. Mukesh was urged by Ganguly to remain calm and bide his time until it came.
The southpaw also questioned whether Mukesh will be selected for the Asia Cup and other forthcoming Twenty20 Internationals.
“Mukesh ought to perform. He is a very good quick bowler under these circumstances. He deserves a chance because he routinely takes wickets in domestic cricket. Let’s see if he is selected for the Asia Cup or the Twenty20 Internationals, as there is now no Test cricket. He is a bowler who excels in every format.
India Today cited Sourav Ganguly as saying, “He just needs to be patient; his time will come.”
In the inaugural unofficial Test match against the England Lions, Mukesh made an impression by taking three wickets (3/92 in 25 overs). In order to give the other players in the India A squad more exposure, he was benched for the second game. He did not make the red-ball team for the recent five-match series against England, despite putting on a strong show in Canterbury.
What is the current activity of Mukesh Kumar?
A few days after the series-opening match at Headingley, the right-arm medium pacer went on to write a mysterious Instagram tale after being rejected for the red-ball assignment. According to the scripture, “Karma bides its time.” You’ll always need to be on your guard. Karma is harsh and always results in retribution. He seems upset to have been left out of the reckoning.
Mukesh has so far represented India in three Test matches, six ODIs, and seventeen T20Is. During the Men in Blue’s multi-format tour of the West Indies in 2023, he made his international debut in all three formats less than a month apart. The 31-year-old last played for his country more than a year ago.
