Verma has been one of the finds of IPL and with 368 runs from 12 games is the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Mumbai Indians.
“Once you have that good cricketing brain, you will be able to lift yourself when things are not going your way. You can analyse yourself and get back to scoring runs,” the legendary opener said.
Gavaskar further praised the youngster for having the basics right and agreed with Rohit’s observation that the rising Hyderabad cricketer could be an all-format India batter in the future.
“Rohit Sharma rightly mentioned that he could be an all-format player for India. So now it’s up to him to work that little bit extra, get his fitness going, get a little tighter as far as the technique is concerned and prove Rohit right,” Gavaskar said.
What has impressed Gavaskar most is his temperament.
“He’s got the basics right. Technically, he’s right. He gets right behind the line of the ball. He’s got a straight bat, and while defending on the front foot his bat is close to the pad. So, all his basics are right.
“With all the right basics you’ve got to marry the temperament and that marriage we have seen is very good at the moment. I hope that he carries on,” he added.
