IPL 2025: Fleming told the reason why Dhoni also assesses his ‘AK-47’ pacer very high
New Delhi:
Medium Pesar Anshul Kamboj, who is playing for Chennai in this season, has also got a place in the recently announced India ‘A’ team for the tour of England. This bowler playing for Haryana in domestic cricket is also called as ‘AK-47’ in the dressing room. As soon as Kamboj starts running from the run-up, the companions back-up their names. And this nickname is also printed by Kambuj in the back of his IPL t -shirt. Once Kamboj said in a conversation with a newspaper about this, ‘When he (Chennai management) asked for the number from me, all were giving their date-off-barth or lucky number. But I was true to do something special, which is connected to my name. So I chose 46 because it removes a good rhythm. Now everyone calls me by this name. Kamboj has taken 5 wickets in 19 overs in 7 matches played in the journey of 13 matches in Chennai so far.

In the year 2024, Anshul took all ten wickets in the innings against Kerala. And since then he has moved forward step by step. This year, Kamboj started for Chennai and this pace was praised by everyone including captain Dhoni and coach Fleming. The selector has been rewarded by the selector and selected Kamboj in the India ‘A’ team for the tour of England. If the tremors perform better, then the door of Team India may also open for them in the tour.
After the match against Rajasthan, Fleming said, ‘If Pesar gets a little seam and swing in England, then it will do well in the tour of England. Kamboj has the ability to improve with both white and red balls. We are happy with this performance and he has redeemed the opportunities.
In the beginning of the season, concern was being expressed about the cut in the speed of Kamboj. But Fleming believes that at the moment it is good. Chennai coach said, ‘The speed of Kamboj is about 138/139 km/h. He creates confusion and his ball is always affected by the gloves. Because of this, he gets vobble swing. Everyone saw it against Rajasthan.
