Yash Dayal
Kumble praised Dayal for his remarkable comeback after a challenging moment in his career, notably after conceding five sixes to Rinku Singh. This incident seemed to fuel his determination, and Kumble noted Dayal’s growth as a left-arm seamer who can move the ball both ways and perform well in the death overs. His solid performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL also contributed to Kumble’s confidence in his abilities.
Vyshak Vijaykumar
Kumble spoke highly of Vyshak, emphasizing his impact for Karnataka in domestic cricket. Kumble expressed surprise that RCB did not retain him, considering his skill set, particularly his variations for death-over bowling. Kumble hopes that Vyshak gets a chance to showcase his talents at the international level, particularly in the upcoming South Africa tour.
Ramandeep Singh
Kumble noted that Ramandeep’s all-round abilities have improved significantly, particularly after joining Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His powerful middle-order batting and strong fielding abilities were highlighted, with Kumble suggesting that Ramandeep’s bowling, though occasionally used, could provide valuable depth for the Indian team, especially with the growing importance of all-rounders in modern cricket, thanks to the IPL’s impact player rule.
Kumble’s comments reflect the depth of talent emerging from domestic circuits and his belief that these players are ready for the next step in their cricketing careers. His support could provide the necessary momentum for Dayal, Vijaykumar, and Ramandeep to secure spots in the national team, especially as India looks to build a strong squad for upcoming international fixtures like the South Africa T20I series.
