Average and runs will have no importance in T20 cricket: Gautam Gambhir

(Image Source: GG Instagram) A lot of questions have been raised regarding the strike rate of the batsmen in the Indian Premier League 2024. This season, the strike rate of experienced batsman Virat Kohli has been heavily criticized by many people. Cricket fans believe that even though Virat Kohli is the highest run scorer this season, he has scored these runs at a very low strike rate. Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Gautam Gambhir has given his stand regarding the importance of strike rate. Let us tell you, under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, Kolkata Knight Riders played aggressive cricket in IPL 2024 and occupied the first position in the points table of this season. According to Gautam Gambhir, selection should be based on strike rate and the focus of the bowlers should be on how they are putting pressure on the opposition team by taking wickets continuously. Gautam Gambhir said on the official YouTube channel of brilliant spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, ‘In India we talk a lot about young cricketers. If any bowler bowls the ball at a speed of 150 KMPH then we all get very excited. The point is that you should also look at the situation carefully. There will be no impact of average and runs in T20 cricket. Strike rate is very important for batsmen and to select bowlers it is very important to see how difficult overs they are bowling. There will be talks regarding this very thing in the coming 2 to 3 years. But we are talking about runs and average. In places like West Indies and Bangladesh, you don’t want any bowler who is bowling at 150. You also want a player who can also throw a cutter. This is very important for the selectors. Sometimes you select young players but it is very important to know who is more important to be included in the team.

If you look at averages, you are an average player – Mohammad Rizwan He said, ‘If you look at the whole match, he played really well. So we have to give them credit.

Whenever you lose you always feel pressure. He further says, ‘I don’t look at my statistics, if you look at the averages, you are an average player. It is better if you look at the situation and circumstances of the match. About Kohli, he is a good player and we have learned a lot from him. I respect him a lot. Talking about the match, Ireland, batting first, scored 193 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. Lorcan Tucker played a half-century inning of 51 runs.

It’s just a batting position, and I have come in many times and batted in the opening against the new ball. I’ve thought about what different things we could do.
