The meteoric rise of Gus Atkinson: A cricketing prodigy on the cusp of greatness
From obscurity to stardom: Atkinson's remarkable journey
Gus Atkinson, the 24-year-old English cricketer, has taken the cricket world by storm with his exceptional pace, tactical brilliance, and unassuming charm. His explosive rise to prominence has set him on the path to an England call-up, with experts predicting a glittering international career.
A cricketing CV that speaks volumes
Atkinson's statistics are a testament to his potential. In the recent Hundred tournament, he bowled with an average speed of 143.68 kmph (89.38 mph), making him one of the tournament's fastest bowlers. He has also recorded the two fastest deliveries in the competition, both clocked at 94 mph and 95 mph, with England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler on the receiving end of both thunderbolts.
Atkinson's impressive performances in the T20I format earned him a maiden ODI call-up against New Zealand. His remarkable pace and tactical nous have also caught the eye of county cricket giants Surrey, who signed him in 2022.
