India's veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin reserved the highest respect for paceman Mukesh Kumar for his impressive performances in the limited games he represented the country. The right-arm fast bowler played 1 Test, 3 ODIs and 6 T20Is for Team India wherein he took 2, 4 and 3 wickets in the respective formats. 

Mukesh Kumar

The 30-year-old cricketer is part of the ongoing five-match T20I series against Australia. He was part of the T20I opener against the Men in Yellow at Visakhapatnam, in which he brought the best out of himself in his full quota of four overs.

His best performance came in the last over of Australia's innings, when he conceded just five runs and kept the batters in check by varying his pace. Mukesh Kumar stuck to his subtle bowling variations of tight line and length as he conceded 29 runs in 4 overs when the majority of the Indian bowlers conceded too many runs at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam.

Meanwhile, Ravi Ashwin reckons that Mukesh Kumar has all the tools and ingredients to develop as the heir of senior paceman, Mohammad Shami. “I initially thought Mohammad Siraj would become the junior Shami, but I now feel it could be Mukesh Kumar. Shami is called ‘Lala’ and as a tribute to the actor Mohanlal who is called Lalettan, I call Shami Lalettan," said Ravi Ashwin on his official YouTube channel.

"Mukesh has a similar build, similar height, and outstanding wrist position – he has that great whip of the wrist and terrific back-spin on the ball. He has a very nice straight and nice alignment. He had bowled really well in the series in the West Indies and was outstanding at a practice game in Barbados," Ravi Ashwin further added.

Mukesh Kumar will be next seen in action in the second T20I against Australia on November 27, Sunday at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Team India beat Australia by two wickets in the first game and took a 1-0 lead in the series.
