In last week’s fourth Test match between India and England at Old Trafford in Manchester, Haryana speedster Anshul Kamboj made his debut for his country.
The right-arm seamer did not establish himself at the highest level, despite entering the playing XI after a strong showing for India A against the England Lions prior to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
For the most part, he struggled to reach 130 kph, which shocked his fans. He gave up runs at an economic rate of 4.90 and was unable to provide the England hitters with much of a challenge.
Former India captain Kapil Dev, affectionately known as “Haryana Hurricane,” advised the team management to allow Anshul Kamboj more time to show himself, despite the fact that many supporters have called for him to be left out of the lineup for the fifth and final Test match. Everyone is anxious when playing their first international match, according to the living great.
“Do you really think a debutant should take ten wickets? You must evaluate his potential. He will recover if he is good enough. When playing their first game, everyone feels anxious. At the Professional Golf Tour of India’s (PGTI) second-half schedule launch, Kapil Dev stated, “I think the ability is there, and that’s more important, even though the result may not be ideal.”
Dev also asked Indian cricket’s stakeholders to allow young captain Shubman Gill a little more time. According to the former, the skipper who is under pressure will eventually learn.
“Give him some time. Since this is his first series, he will make mistakes and gain a lot of beneficial experience over time. If he is learning, there is no issue. There will be errors, but he is growing from them, which is crucial,” he stated.
Kapil Dev added that the youthful Indian team, which is undergoing a transitional phase, will learn a lot from the current series.
“This is a youthful team, and these players will triumph in the days ahead when they get the chance to play. The team is only new. It takes time for any new team to get used to their surroundings. “This series will be a learning step for Gill, who is a new captain and will learn a lot,” Kapil Dev stated.
