Cricket ki duniya mein kismat palatne mein der nahi lagti aur Matt Renshaw ne ise sach kar dikhaya hai. Sirf 12 mahine pehle tak yeh khiladi Australia ki kisi bhi team ka hissa nahi tha, lekin aaj halaat aise hain ki woh Australia ke liye teeno formats mein fit baith rahe hain. Harare mein Zimbabwe ke khilaaf unka maiden ODI century sirf ek innings nahi balki ek statement hai ki woh World Cup ke liye taiyaar hain.
The Guru Gyan Coverage: Zero se Hero banne ki Mastery
Ek saal pehle Matt Renshaw sirf domestic cricket tak limited the, lekin unka comeback kisi cinematic script se kam nahi hai. Pichle saal India ke khilaaf ODI debut se shuru hua safar ab T20 World Cup call-up aur Test side mein wapsi tak pahunch gaya hai. Matt Renshaw ne Harare mein tab batting ki jab Australia 107 par 4 wicket gawa kar mushkil mein thi. Unhone spinners ko aisi samajhdari se khela ki bowlers ke paas koi jawab nahi tha.
Dilchasp baat yeh hai ki Renshaw ka pichla international hundred lagbhag das saal pehle Pakistan ke khilaaf aaya tha. Pakistan ke bowlers ko tab bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki unhe kaise out karein, aur aaj das saal baad bhi jab Pakistan ki team struggle kar rahi hai, Renshaw ek naye avatar mein world cricket par dominate kar rahe hain. Lagta hai Pakistan ke khilaaf woh purani innings ne hi unhe big stages par perform karne ka confidence diya tha, jo aaj tak kaam aa raha hai.
Renshaw ab sirf ek pure batter nahi rahe. Woh apni off-spin se bhi team mein value add kar rahe hain. Glenn Maxwell ki absence mein unhone bowling ka zimma uthaya aur Brendan Taylor ka bada wicket lekar apni utility prove ki. Unhone mazaakiya andaz mein kaha ki team sheet par abhi bhi unhe sirf batter likha jata hai, lekin unka kaam kisi top-class all-rounder se kam nahi hai.
