Bowlers have variations – Mohit Sharma

While talking at the post match presentation after becoming the player of the match, Mohit Sharma said,

Most important The point is how to use variations as per the match situation. Bowlers have variations but what matters is when and how to use them. When you have two balls in your mind, the batsmen are also ready, they are ready for the slow bouncer but they are not ready for the slow short ball outside the wicket so I mix and match. The dew is out of control and we practice bowling with a wet ball. When it’s going well I enjoy it. When the match is over, I like to think about where I performed well and where not. Rashid and Noor bowled well, we scored some runs in the end but we came back well in the last few overs.
