'Going to be a hummingbird' - Gavaskar in India-England semi-finals
Sunil Gavaskar believes that the semi-final between India and England will be the same as the semi-final match between India and West Indies on Sunday at the Eden Gardens.
"I think it's another cracker of a game, Wes It was like such a quarterfinal against the Titans, as both sides are very well matched, "Gavaskar said.“ They have the batting. They have bowling. Th Eye has received a middle order. You know, they've got a finisher. Both teams have finishers. The bowling of both teams is varied.
"Both teams also have T20 cricket experience at At. There are some players in England who Have played in the IPL, so who are familiar with Indian conditions, who are familiar with the pressure of playing. This is going to be a game weaver. And l like it happened yesterday in Kolkata, I think it's also 40th over, "said the former India captain.
India may have won the World Cup final at Wankhede in 2011 but lost a doubles to the semi-finals at the venue in 1987 and 2016. But Gavaskar felt It's time to change the script.
“Well, the other day, I mean, nobody said yesterday that, you know, the West Indies ever played a knockout game at Eden Gardens. But it was broken yesterday.
"So this is a new era , there's a new team. So, yes, I think India has not got the best semi-final experience at Wankhede. But I think DP World Celebrity to create awareness about the Champs Foundation During a select media interaction ahead of the Tea Golf event, Gavaskar said he believes he has the ability to go all the way. Multiple cricketers and commentators at the March 6 event in Mumbai and participate.
Gavaskar also had an advice for Abhishek Sharma, who is struggling in the World Cup.
“My advice would be don't always try to bat in the fourth gear. Probably, as you settle in, gi Look up the yr. Yes, you want to take advantage of PowerPlay, where there are only two fielders outside the 30-meter E circle. You definitely want to take advantage of it. Play to your strengths. But huh Mesha doesn't have to look to bat in the fourth gear.”
The Indian team has shown a rare vulnerability to spin, but commentators from the cricketer don't feel that way.
"No, not really," She spoke about the perceived weakness of spinning. “I think this format of the game is where you're looking east. And when spinners come in, you think you're better off looking for boundaries than can go more often. Many times, spinners make you feel like you should go for the maximum. “I think if you make a mistake, you get out. In any case, I think In this format of the game, off-pace delivery is difficult. The momentum coming on the bat such as batsmen because they can use the momentum and bounce to come down the ball and hit it on top. With spinners, You have to try as a batsman. You have to keep the ball away. You are not looking so much for time; you are looking for power. And I think that over there, in search of power, sometimes you may have a bat speed that is too high, resulting in the ball going up in the air at the wrong time and being caught. So, I don't think it's a spin situation in particular. It's just a It's a state of affairs.”
