A top journalist once joked to the left-handed player of the Bangladesh national team, 'you hit very well with your left hand! I know how much better he would have been if he had played with his right hand! '
there is no shortage of funny incidents about cricket players playing left in cricket. there’s also the sudden left hand of the player hitting the right right in the middle of the innings. no, there is no mention of Kevin pietersen's 'switch hit' or david warner mentioned. he played all the innings on the left-hander.
semi-final of the Bengali Range Range (now bengalore). Kolkata is playing a four-day game with a bombay (now Mumbai).
bombay batsman Sunil gavaskar become a full-left player from right in the second innings of the game. Gavaskar felt that that would be the most effective strategy of stopping left arm pins raghuram bhat and vijayakrishna.
raghuram bhat, who scored 8 out of 123 in the first innings, put in a bombay innings in a disaster that ended in a staggering 271. Vijaykrishna took two more wickets.
after trailing by 199 runs to start the second innings, the bombay was again in trouble and this time bhat and vijayakrishna started attacking. dilip vengsarkar, sandip patil and ravi shastri also could not build a dam in disaster. 6 out of 160 bombs. vijaykrishna took 4 wickets while vijaykrishna took the remaining 2 wickets in bhat. bhat took another 1 wicket later.bombay then saved the game by forgetting about winning.
gavaskar also took up the strategy of becoming a left-handed publisher. he thought that no left-handed batsman in the team other than suru naik could cross the bhat-vijayakrishna overs. in innings, gavaskar dropped to number seven in the opening innings, taking the guard as a left-handed batsman. Karnataka cricket players are shocked to see it! the audience could not believe the avatar of such an event before their eyes. the right-handed gavaskar can also strike with his left hand!
gavaskar, however, managed to seize the opportunity to take a bhat and vijayakrishna wicket that day. not only these two, none of the karnataka warriors could chase the gavaskar of the left arm that day. off the field with 18 unbeaten draws, the game is also equal. gavaskar later said left-handed parrots from karnataka had to clap their left hands that day to seize their opportunity. bhat, vijayakrishna balls came in, which gavaskar had no trouble in control.
bhat and vijayakrishna were forced to allow the tricks of sunil gavaskar. but later took the game and said, 'I tried to use all my tactics. I threw the ball hard, handed over the weapons, yorker — gave it all. I threw around a wicket, I threw over a wicket, I tried to use a crease. but gavaskar played all the balls with confidence. '
Interestingly, gavaskar has never devised a plan to become a left-handed player against left-handed spinners before or after those innings, perhaps he may not feel the need to do so.
but for almost 40 years after the incident, Bangladeshi party officials have repeatedly marched on the gavaskar road. if a player hits with his left hand on the bat,
the ball will not be given to the left-hand thrower. the opening couple also wants a food gun and a left hand. the two on the left are completely absent.
in their first match of the t20 super twelve world cup in sharjah, two sri lanka batsmen left charit asalanka and vanuka rajapaksa "hidden" while beating. it was as if Shakib had never thrown left players or won. in this incident, two sri lanka batsmen succeeded in attacking other throwers. snatched the game in Bangladesh for double liton das. and as a left-handed spinner, Shakib left the field without meeting his bowling alley.
the opinion of the bangladesh team management of linking the right and left arm is so high that it also contributes to the beating as well. and why are party leaders the only ones using this idea from the party election table!
Soumya sarkar has been kept in the spotlight despite not getting a run of the game after the liton match on the grounds that he should put the right player on the opening team and left-back Mohammad naeem.
Liton high points came from bat in the last 12 innings after 60 unbeaten games against Zimbabwe in March last year. not that Soumya also did very well after last July's visit to Zimbabwe; without tamim iqbal, he could not stand out despite playing all the home series games with Australia. New zealand failed to play a single game in the series, not even in the team facing Scotland in the t20 world cup.
the left-hander is holding himself back from the openers as he scores runs despite the question of whether Naeem's beat is in line with the t20is. the other opener, on the right, leads the election over and over again, despite repeated failures! starting two innings on the left arm of bangladesh would be a great injustice!
it seems like it’s time to ‘relax’ the Liton, which can take advantage of any opportunity in twelve games. who knows, the hunger for running is likely to accumulate much between sitting and Soumya.
even if the party leaders do not deviate from their concerns, Shakib-Soumya may see sabyasachi as sunil gavaskar as a last resort....
