India’s bowler Akashdeep has made a big disclosure about head coach Gautam Gambhir. In fact, Akashdeep said that, his first tour of England was quite comfortable where Gautam Gambhir believed in him more than himself, a captain supported him in difficult times and the atmosphere was like a home, while the situation was more domestic ground than a foreign field.
Let me tell you that Akashdeep played an important role in India’s victory by hitting 10 wickets in one match and half-century in the second, which made him a star overnight, but he cannot forget what the head coach Gautam Gambhir said to him after scoring 66 runs at the Oval.
Talking to PTI, this 29 -year -old said that, Gautam Bhai said to me, you do not know what you can do. Look, I was telling you that you can do this. You will always have to play with this dedication. He further said that Gautam Bhai is a very passionate coach. He always inspires us. He believes in both my batting and bowling more than me.
It has been easy for this fast bowler to make cohesion for this fast bowler after making debut in Test cricket under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and now under the leadership of Shubman Gill. He said that the new captain is of calm nature but he has many types of ideas on the field. He said that he is a very good captain. It is not that he is the new captain. He has been captaining the IPL for the last few years, which is a big platform. This experience matters a lot. When a captain supports you and understands things well, it makes a lot of difference.
Akash Deep said that, I played the Dalip Trophy under his captaincy last year. He is a calm player and he has a lot of ideas. When someone remains calm, it helps in making good decisions on the field. This was Akashdeep’s first round of England but it took him most of the time that he was playing on subcontinent pitches, where there is very little movement for fast bowlers.
