“He’s not Umran Malik, he’s not Mohammed Siraj”: Gautam Gambhir’s hard-hitting statement focused on Arshdeep’s bowling

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir made a hard-hitting statement against fast bowler Arshdeep Singh while comparing his strength with that of Umran Malik and Mohammad Siraj.

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir feels that Arshdeep Singh, whose no-balls has become a major talking point, should stick to the basics and keep things simple if he wants to avoid bowling no-balls in the limited-overs format.

Sharing his views on Arshdeep’s horror show series opener, Gambhir said, “I think. these numbers are fine, It can go south and it can go north. But the most important thing is you can’t afford to bowl those no-balls. That is absolutely unacceptable, especially at this level, and it can come back to hurt you and the team big time”.

Malik

“And that is exactly what happened in the previous game. Just keep the basics right. See, World Cup conditions are completely different from what you normally get back home. In Australia, it was swinging and it was still bouncing, decent carry as well with the new ball. But when you play at the sub-continent, these are flat wickets,” Gambhir added.

Siraj

Mentioning Umran Malik and Mohammed Siraj in his hard-hitting statement, Gambhir also urged Arshdeep to develop variations in his bowling as he doesn’t have the lethal pace like them.

“You gonna have something different up your sleeves whether it’s a slower one or a slower bouncer. Some kind of variation. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the speed to actually rattle the batsmen. So he’s got to develop some variation. He is not Umran Malik, he’s not Mohammed Siraj. So one thing he needs to do is probably try and keep it very simple and sort his no balls out which is equally important,” Gambhir added.
