Aakash Chopra, who hosts JioCinema’s daily sports program “#AAKASHVANI,” chose five bowlers whose performances he will be keenly monitoring during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Umran Malik: “Umran Malik’s story has been lovely, but it hasn’t yet been fully realized. It’s trapped somewhere right now. One had the impression that although the bowler had a pace of over 150 km/h, he was currently lost. He doesn’t play every week for his IPL squad. He had a chance in the West Indies, but it lacked that crispness. On the list for the Asian Games, his name wasn’t there. What happened to this boy, you wonder? As a result, I’ll concentrate on him and watch how his chances of winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy fare.
Yuzvendra Chahal: “Yuzi Chahal finds himself in a predicament where the Indian team keeps him with them for the entire year but says, ‘Thank you, sir, we don’t need your services’ when a world-level event approaches. He wasn’t at his best against Mumbai on Monday, but he will undoubtedly be in the spotlight.
Arshdeep Singh: “Arshdeep’s career was ascending, then it somewhat plateaued, and now it appears to be declining. His career doesn’t seem to have truly taken off, to be honest. The same is true for Arshdeep as it is for Umran. Hyderabad handled Umran poorly, and Punjab treated Arshdeep similarly. So perhaps he will get the opportunity to find his groove again in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
“One of Yuzi or Ravi will be chosen for the Indian team that will compete in the 2024 T20 World Cup,” said Ravi Bishnoi. Therefore, this competition is significant to them both. Ravi Bishnoi’s performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is something I am particularly interested in seeing.
Mukesh Kumar: “Mukesh Kumar was making his debut in the various game formats for a month in the West Indies. He was also doing quite well. He struck me as a World Cup underdog, in my opinion. He was a member of the Asian Games team, but he was unable to participate. I now want to watch how he does in this competition.
