If batsmen have to be stopped from scoring big then bowlers will have to take wickets at regular intervals: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh believes that if the batsmen have to be stopped from scoring big in modern cricket then it is very important for the bowlers to take wickets at regular intervals. Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that if the batsmen have to be stopped from making big scores in modern cricket, then it is very important for the bowlers to take wickets at regular intervals. This will create pressure on the players of the opposing team and they will not be able to score runs fast. Let us tell you, Harbhajan Singh has played 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20 matches for India. In the Indian Premier League 2024, it was seen that many teams crossed the 200-run mark several times in this season. Not only this, the performance of the bowlers was not so good this season. Harbhajan Singh gave this statement in the fifth episode of ‘180 Not Out’ podcast. Harbhajan Singh said, ‘I believe that any bowler who says that he will stop the runs cannot stop the runs. Be it Lasith Malinga or any of the best T20 bowlers in the world. Jasprit Bumrah also plays cricket in the modern era. The break happens only when you take a wicket. To take wickets it is necessary to bowl well. With art you can take wickets. It is not that you have taken a wicket with a full toss and again you are bowling the same ball. This will not happen again and again. It is possible that you may get 6 runs on the next full toss. Economy rate will be good only if you look to take wickets. By taking wickets you are doing your work as well as that of the team: Harbhajan Singh Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘By taking wickets, you are doing your job and also taking your team forward. This should be the mentality no matter which format of cricket you play. You should think about taking wickets, no matter how many runs are lost. 10-12 runs but if you take two or three wickets then you have done your job and that should be the mentality. Gautam Gambhir was also in this podcast and he said, ‘Two new balls are given in ODI and this is not right at all. There are bowlers who have taken 400 wickets as finger spinners, of which Ravichandran Ashwin and Nathan Lyon are the best examples but they are not part of the ODI team and that is why finger spinners are very less. It is very wrong for such players who are taking 400 wickets in Test but are not participating in ODI cricket. According to me, the rule of two new balls in ODI should be changed and cricket should be played with only one ball. 5 Australian players who scored half century in debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th…
