Indian Cricket Team: Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir remains in discussion about his statements. He has recently given a big statement on a young deadly bowler of Team India. This bowler has been struggling with bad form for some time. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir has given important advice to this player to improve his game. This player is currently a part of Team India in the three-match T20 series being played against New Zealand.

Gautam Gambhir gave important advice to this player

Gautam Gambhir believes that apart from varying the pace, it is equally important for left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh to sort out the issue of his no-ball bowling. Arshdeep made his T20 debut in July 2022 against England. During this year, he took 33 wickets in 21 matches at an average of 18.12, strike rate of 13.30 and economy rate of 8.17. He also did a commendable job in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, taking ten wickets for India in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He even earned a nomination for the ICC Emerging Men's Cricketer of the Year award.

Flop since T20 World Cup

Since T20 World Cup 2022, Arshdeep Singh has given runs at 10.24 economy rate in T20. Gambhir told Star Sports, 'You think about doing something new in your bowling. Whether it is slow bouncer or slow bowling. any kind of difference. Unfortunately, he doesn't really have the pace to trouble the batsmen. So some variation has to be developed. He is not Umran Malik, he is not Mohammad Siraj. So one thing he needs to do is probably suggest his no ball issue.

It is necessary to remove the problem of no-ball

Arshdeep bowled five no-balls in the second T20 against Sri Lanka in Pune earlier this month, the most by an Indian bowler. In the first T20I against New Zealand, Arshdeep conceded 27 runs in his last over including a no-ball, which India lost. But he bounced back, taking 2/7 in India's six-wicket victory on a bowler-assisted pitch in Lucknow. Gambhir said, just keep the basics right. Look, the World Cup situation is completely different from what you normally find in your home. You were getting swing and bounce with the new ball in Australia. But when you play in the subcontinent, the situation is completely different.
