India’s young and talented pacer, Vinay Kumar, has been preparing to cope with the challenge of bowling in the upcoming Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 if his teammate, Ishant Sharma, does not recover till the eleventh hour.
With 15 ODIs and 5 T20Is to his credit, the right-arm bowler is still waiting for his Test debut. His 66 First-Class matches make him a strong contender to fill the boots of Sharma who got his ankle injured during the first tour game last week.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 A and also earned the
‘Best Bowler’ award over there, claims that his pace suits well to the grassy tops of the host nation.
The 27-year-old is confident of making an impact with his seamy and bouncy deliveries.
Talking to the media today, Kumar said, “I am not thinking on those lines (that I am the favourite to replace Ishant if he's not fit for the MCG Test). I try to play to my strength, which is to bowl wicket to wicket. Yeah, if I get the chance I will be more
than happy and ready for it. These conditions would help me and I would be happy if I could make my debut here.”
The Karnataka-born guy considers his http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Kumar-c2143, as his ideal, asserting that he seeks inspiration from him and both of them are similar type of pacers.
He told, “Praveen and I are similar kind of bowlers. If he can do well, I too can. The year after I got the best bowler's award, (Vernon) Philander of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 got it.”
Kumar is likely to be confirmed for his maiden Test within a day or two as Ishant, according to medical reports, cannot be ready to return to action till December 26.
However, some analysts suggest that Sharma’s absence will let the Men in Blue Down as they do not have another quality pace man except http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379, who is also going to play after a gap of at least four months.
