But you have to stay calm during the run-up. Don’t get distracted by the crowd, just take a deep breath, stay calm and bowl. If Mahi tells you that you have everything to succeed at the international level, then boss, that is an achievement in itself. Recalling a match that season, Tushar said- In one match I was bowling a good yorker, but suddenly I bowled a bouncer and got hit for a 100-meter six. He asked me ‘why did you bowl a bouncer?’ I told him that I thought he was expecting a yorker. He told me not to play cricket in the mind. A yorker is a yorker and no one can hit you. On the other hand, if we tell you about Deshpande’s performance in that season IPL 2023, he took 21 wickets in 16 matches played, and played an important role in CSK’s 5th title win.
