NAGPUR: A typical out-swinger, widely known as banana swing, from Rajneesh Gurbani in the nets last week in Sultanpur reflected how the pace battery is raring to go. The video that captured Gurbani’s delivery was a hit on social media. However, the pacer warmed the bench in the initial matches of Ranji Trophy as the Sultanpur pitch assisted the spin.
Now, Vidarbha are in a must-win situation in their last league match against Assam on a pacers’ paradise — Lahli, Rohtak. The Vidarbha think-tank must be positive looking at the numbers from the first two matches at Lahli, where 42 wickets off 64 fell to pacers. And Gurbani must be looking to replicate the banana-swing that he bowled in nets.
