Australian star pacer Mitchell Starc has given his praises to Gautam Gambhir as India secured a dominative win over Bangladesh. Mitchell was a part of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the winners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, where Gambhir was the mentor of the franchise.
Starc will most likely appear for Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and has praised India’s current head coach Gambhir for his ideology towards the game.
“I mean, speaking from my experience at Kolkata, he is a fantastic thinker of the game. He’s always thinking about the opponent and how to get them out as a bowling attack or how to score runs as a batting attack,” Starc said.
“It’s not just individual players it’s always about the team focus and how to get on top of little things that he might see in techniques or in a field placement or anything like that. The nine weeks that I spent with him were fantastic. In a T20 setup, I know that he’s got some good things,” he added.
