"He is special": Aakash Chopra hails young pacer who's been taking wickets in every India game

Aakash Chopra has picked the young Indian fast bowler Gurnoor Brar as the fast bowler who has impressed him the most. He highlighted the fact that the seamer took wickets in all three games he was a part of for the national team.

Brar is not playing in the ongoing five-match T20I series against England. However, he will return to action in the three-match ODI series against the Harry Brook-led team after the conclusion of the shortest format assignment. Aakash Chopra was asked to name a young Indian seamer with great potential. "Gurnoor Brar.

This guy is impressive. He took 10 wickets against Sri Lanka A. He was picking up wickets in all the games he played for the Indian team," he responded. Although Brar played against a team like Afghanistan, Chopra mentioned the Gujarat Titans (GT) speedster is a great prospect.

"Afghanistan wasn't a top-class opposition, but it was not the bowler's mistake. Gurnoor Brar is a good prospect," he added. In three matches, he claimed seven wickets at an economy rate of 5.95. He recently managed to take 10 wickets for 145 runs in India's A 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka A in the second unofficial Test.

"He is special": Aakash Chopra hails Gurnoor Brar Aakash Chopra also opined on the qualities that make Gurnoor Brar special. "He has a high arm action and bowls a good length. He makes full use of his height. Gurnoor gets extra bounce, and when the ball releases from his hand, it swings and seams after pitching.

He is telling us that the guy is special. He has got the skills," he mentioned. Aakash also picked Mohsin Khan and Prince Yadav as the other two impressive pacers. "Prince Yadav has been impressive in white-ball cricket.

I also find Mohsin Khan talented if he remains fit. The good thing for Indian cricket is that players keep coming. Gurnoor is India's shining light at the moment." Prince Yadav has taken three wickets at an economy rate of 6.48 in two ODIs and three scalps at an economy rate of 5.50 in one T20I so far. Mohsin Khan hasn't played for India yet, but he has showcased his talent for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Prince also plays for LSG in the cash-rich league, and he was among the leading wicket-takers in the 19th season of the tournament. With Indian selectors adopting a policy of testing new fast bowlers, the Men in Blue will welcome new faces.
