In a promising development for Indian cricket, former Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has lauded the strategic acumen of uncapped fast bowler Anshul Kamboj, marking him as a standout addition to the team alongside veterans like Zaheer Khan and Jasprit Bumrah.

Kamboj, whose consistent performance in domestic cricket earned him a spot in the squad for the pivotal fourth test against England in Manchester, is acknowledged for his adept understanding and execution of game plans, which Ashwin highlights as a rare trait among fast bowlers.

Despite being new to the international scene, Kamboj's impressive first-class cricket statistics, including a notable 10-wicket haul, make him a significant contender for the playing XI, poised to complement the prowess of Bumrah and Siraj as India seeks to level the five-match series.
