Former Indian batter Gautam Gambhir is once again in the headline for his blunt statement. The left-handed batter is known for his open-hearted opinions and conversion and this time he has taken AB De Villiers on the radar. In a cricket show, Gambhir went down to compare the former South African batter AB De Villiers and the stylish Indian batting star Suresh Raina.
While drawing the comparisons between the two batters, Gautam Gambhir marked Raina ahead of De Villiers. He said that be it a performer or a player, Suresh Raina is any time any day ahead of the South African legend.
Gambhir said that the South African batter has only played for his personal records and there are no trophies or ICC titles to his name.
While having an interview at star sports, Gambhir said, “AB de Villiers only had personal records in the IPL. Anybody could have scored runs in Chinnaswamy stadium.”
Speaking on de Villiers’ IPL achievements, Mr. 360 has participated in 184 games and scored 5162 runs at a solid average of 39.71. De Villiers has forty-fifties and three centuries to his name in IPL.
On the other hand, Raina has also given outstanding performances. He played 205 games with the CSK franchise, scoring one century and 38 half-centuries with an impressive strike rate of 136.76 and an average of 32.52. For his remarkable streak of runs in every IPL season, Raina is also known as MR. IPL.
