In the death overs, I always try to bowl wide yorkers/yorkers or slow bouncers. I have got good results with these balls and I don’t make many changes in my bowling. Avesh further said- Last year when I played for Lucknow, I had joined the team after playing 10 Ranji Trophy matches. I had bowled 320 overs at that time and my body was not cooperating properly. Mental and physical fatigue must have been clearly visible. I tried last season as well but the results were not there. As a bowler you know. IPL does not demand a lot of effort, it is just a contest of your four overs and the team’s 20 overs.
“The worst thing that has happened in white ball cricket is the arrival of two new balls….”- Gambhir lashed out at ICC.
Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir is always known for his outspoken style and making bold statements. Recently he has criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC). He talked about a rule change that eliminated the art of spin bowling in ODI cricket. Gambhir has said that the worst thing that has happened in cricket is that in ODI cricket, 50 overs are bowled with two new balls. Let us tell you that in order to increase the power hitting ability in ODI cricket, ICC introduced a rule allowing two new balls in ODI matches in 2011. Gambhir has also targeted the ICC and said that if I had my way, I would remove the two-ball rule. Let us tell you that with the arrival of two new balls, the importance of finger spinners has gradually reduced in ODI cricket. Gautam Gambhir targeted ICC KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir “The worst thing that has happened in white-ball cricket is the introduction of two new balls,” he said in the Kutty Talks with Ashwin show on R Ashwin’s YouTube channel. I am saying this because with one decision you have taken away the entire skill of a finger spinner, be it a left arm spinner or an off spinner. You have two new balls and five fielders inside. How do you expect a finger spinner to be able to take any help from the pitch and be included in the final 11? This is the worst thing in white-ball cricket.” Gambhir has admitted that the white ball career of R Ashwin and Nathan Lyon has been short because they do not get any support from the ball and the pitch. He said, “I have said it everywhere. This rule has taken away the two best finger spinners in the world who should have played more white ball cricket, you (Ashwin) and Nathan Lyon. The reason you guys didn’t play was because there was nothing for you, despite all these odds on a flat track with power hitters on short boundaries and also with DRS.”
“If you can’t respect the bowler then at least respect the balls”- Sehwag gave a lesson to Rohit and SKY
Following Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav’s poor performance at the Eden Gardens during Mumbai Indians’ 18-run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday, May 11, Virender Sehwag came down heavily on both the batsmen. In this 16 over match due to rain, Knight Riders batted first and scored 157/7. In reply, the visiting team got off to a bright start in the powerplay, with Ishan Kishan scoring a blistering 40 runs in 22 balls. However, his opening partner Rohit was seen struggling to score runs in this match and was eventually dismissed after scoring 19 runs in 24 balls. He tried to play a sweep shot to Varun Chakraborty, but here he was out. Apart from Rohit, Suryakumar’s bat also remained calm in this match and after scoring 11 runs in 14 balls, he was out on the ball of Andre Russell. He tried to play a shot on the slow short ball from outside the off-stump but could not time it properly and was caught out at deep square. Both the experienced Indian batsmen were out after playing a slow innings with a strike rate of less than 100. Former India opener Sehwag criticized the manner of dismissal of both the players, especially Rohit. He said it is important to keep the ego off the field and respect good balls in difficult situations. Sehwag was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz that, “Whoever bowls well, just play him. If two wickets had not fallen, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav could have finished the match an over earlier. Vaibhav Arora, Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell and Harshit Rana were to bowl anyway; If they had played the spinners and not lost wickets, they would have won the match easily.” The former Indian cricketer also said, “You cannot be arrogant when you come to bat. You play them or punish weak balls. Naman Dheer came in at the very end and hit two sixes and a four; If Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav had set out on it, he would have hit a boundary in 5 balls. You may be Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav, but if you cannot respect the bowler then at least respect the balls. The ball on which Rohit Sharma got out was not a weak ball, there is no doubt that Rohit and Suryakumar are great players, but it does not mean that you should hit good balls also.”
