    T20 WC: Erasmus Showed The World Again What He’s Got With The Ball, Says Williams

    By IANS News February 13, 2026 • 09:34 AM View: 255
    Arun Jaitley Stadium: Namibia head coach Craig Williams praised Gerhard Erasmus for picking career-best figures of 4-20 against India despite his team suffering a 93-run defeat in their Group A clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday evening, adding that the skipper showed the world yet again about his skills with the ball.

    Mixing high-arm and round-arm releases, including releasing the ball from behind the crease, Erasmus exploited just enough grip in the pitch to trigger double wobbles of the Indian batting line-up. He introduced himself in the eighth over and struck first ball, cramping Ishan Kishan on the pull and having him caught at deep midwicket.

    Alongside left-arm spinner Bernard Scholtz, he throttled India’s scoring, as the pair conceded just 30 runs in six overs while removing Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma in the attempt to break free. Erasmus returning in the 19th over looked a gamble against two set hitters. But substitute Dylan Leicher’s juggling catch at deep square leg to remove Hardik Pandya turned the tide. Axar Patel then misread a slow, low-arm delivery, leaving Erasmus with four wickets against his name.
