Former head coach of Australia and member of the two-time world champion team, Darren Lehmann has given a big statement about the Indian cricket team. He said that even if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retire now, the Indian team will not miss them. Lehmann believes that there is so much depth in Indian cricket that young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal are ready to take the place of Virat and Rohit.

“Young players are ready”

Darren Lehmann praised India’s young talent and said:

“India has so much talent that even after the departure of Virat and Rohit, the team does not need to worry.”

  • He said that players like Yashasvi Jaiswal are the future of Indian cricket.
  • In the current era, young players have strengthened India with their excellent performance.

Jaiswal: Next Generation Superstar

Lehmann described Yashasvi Jaiswal as the superstar of Indian cricket.

  • Best performance in Melbourne and Perth:

    “Jaiswal has played brilliant innings on this tour. He and England’s Harry Brook are the best batsmen of the next generation.”

  • According to him, Jaiswal’s performance can take Indian batting to new heights.

Comparison of Bumrah with Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath

Lehmann praised Jasprit Bumrah and compared him with legendary bowlers like Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath.

  • Bumrah’s impact in Perth:

    “I have not seen any bowler have such an impact after Mitchell Johnson. Bumrah was amazing in Perth.”

  • He said that Bumrah can be a strong contender to become the next captain of the Indian team.

Lehmann’s concern over Australian cricket

While he praised Indian cricket, he expressed concern over Australian batting.

  • Bowling Department:
    Bowlers like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Scott Boland are excellent, but all of them have crossed the age of 30.
  • Reduction in batting:

    “The Australian team needs to focus on the new players in batting.”
