Harsha Bhogle expects http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 to have a great career – Cricket News
Harsha Bhogle, the famous cricket commentator, is extremely impressed by the progress of Junaid Khan in international cricket and hopes that the left-armer is able to justify his talent in the years to come.
The cricket pundit has put him in the category of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, the young Indian batsman, who is regarded amongst the most talented players of the current era. Bhogle said that Junaid bowled out of his skin during the three-match
One Day International (ODI) series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 earlier this year, helping the Green Shirts win by two games to one.
“Fact is that Junaid with the ball to me looks like a Virat Kohli with the bat. We saw him in India when he played against India in Chennai,” Bhogle said while talking to Pakpassion. “India was 29/5 and Junaid might have taken
three or four out of those, moving it both ways. He had people like Virat playing down the wrong line and knocked over.”
The 23-year-old cricketer came through the ranks of junior cricket in the country, having represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in various Under-19 events. After impressing the national selectors in domestic cricket, the left-armer replaced Sohail
Tanvir in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in the same year.
Junaid has already cemented his place in the national team, having delivered a number of match-winning performances. Along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Irfan-c76983, Junaid forms a brilliant new-ball pair, which has become a threat for almost all international
sides.
Bhogle further added that the left-armer has already proved that he possesses great talent and hopes that he is able to live up to the expectations in future.
“That’s where his talent was on show for all to see. He looks like someone who can become a very big bowler, I only hope the environment allows him to become that bowler,” he added.
Junaid has the ability to swing the ball both ways with accuracy. According to most fast bowling experts, if he is able to maintain a high level of fitness, the seamer should be able to serve Pakistan for many years.
