Morne Morkel’s Coaching Impact on Indian Bowlers:
Former cricketer Basit Ali has strongly criticized Pakistani bowlers, Let’s address what this ex-cricketer Basit Ali had to say recently. He really went out of his way to bash the Pakistani bowlers stating that they sort of got it wrong when it came to Dön Morne Morkel’s coaching capability. He said that the distance between how professional Indian and Pakistani players are in dealing situations is humongous.
Now, talking about Morkel, the man has moved and, as of now, became a part of the Indian coaching staff! Oh, and guess what? A good start indeed, the Indian bowlers look really deadly specially in the first test against bangladesh.
However, CLIOBesides, in that match in Chennai, India dominated their opponents completely, registering a phenomenal 280-run victory and they won far more than a day ahead of the scheduled time! Morkel was Pakistan’s bowling coach and after their poor show in the 2024 ODI World Cup, he left their team. Actually, his tenure with Pakistan was not very impressive and some poor displays which took him out of the team quite early & reduce his contract.
However, like, Morkel’s coaching the Indian bowling squad was looking on fire! Jasprit Bumrah started this first innings taking 4 wickets for the mere cost of 50 runs. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep were right there with him, contributing to Bangladesh’s ouster for a paltry 149.
And then in the second innings spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja stepped in and cleaned up the Bangladeshi wagon, taking nine wickets between them and handing the victory to Bangladesh.
Therefore, yes, this win surely has exposed that there is power and talent in Indian bowlers and how much of an impact Morkel has made as the bowling coach. In the future, India seems prepared to continue his winning spree with him as the captain!
