Under Gautam Gambhir, Sunil Narine developed completely as a batter. His presence as an opener was a big move that landed the title for KKR in IPL 2024. Here, we take a look at the list of three Indian bowlers Gautam Gambhir might promote like Sunil Narine if he becomes the Head Coach.
Firstly, Gambhir will focus on the hitting skills of the bowlers. Then, as a tactic, he might promote them in the batting order to make use of their skills. This could help India depending on the situation.
1) Kuldeep Yadav in ODIs/Tests
Kuldeep Yadav is someone who has an FC hundred to his name. Against England in the recent Test series, he showed decent skills with the bat. Gambhir might work on his batting skills and could his him as a better depending on the situation. It might be too early to promote him but that could happen in the next few years.
2) Shardul Thakur could be promoted in Tests if Gambhir becomes Head Coach
Shardul Thakur is one of the Indian bowlers Gautam Gambhir might promote like Sunil Narine if he becomes the Head Coach. The Mumbai cricketer has already shown his skills with the bat. In Tests, Gambhir might make further use of him as a batter to get an aggressive approach for Team India. Since Shardul is good against pace, when the bowlers are tired, Shardul could be promoted to attack and get some quick runs.
3) Harshit Rana in Tests
Harshit Rana is yet to make his India debut but he is firmly on the radar. Under Gambhir, he might even get a chance as a batter at times. Harshit has an FC century to his name and he could be a fine addition to the squad. Since he is young, there is a chance of him developing further as a batter.
