Jassi, Shami and Siraj have become a problem for the opposition batsmen
Shoaib Malik credited confidence, good condition
Misbah said, Indian bowlers work hard for this
New Delhi. Team India’s performance in the World Cup 2023 has been outstanding so far. Team India has won all its eight matches so far and is at the top of the points table with 16 points and is in the last four. Batting has always been the strength of the Indian team, but the performance of the Indian fast bowlers in this tournament has surprised the veteran players around the world. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami. These three have made the ball swing both ways. Even the wickets and famous batsmen look ‘new’ in front of them. The trio ‘tested’ the opposition batsmen by consistently pitching the ball at the same line-length and contributed significantly to the team’s victories by wide margins against much more experienced teams.
After this strong performance, there is a discussion that how Indian bowlers are swinging the ball so much. Legendary players like Misbah-ul-Haq and Shoaib Malik explained the reason for this during a conversation on Pakistan’s A Sports Channel. The special thing is that they did not talk baseless like Hasan Raza, but gave the credit for swinging the ball. Hard work by the Indian bowlers., the condition of the wrists and their confidence.
Poor condition of ‘speed merchants’ in WC, did not create fear, inflation also remained
Shoaib Malik said that one thing is that this cannot happen without confidence. No matter how hard you work, if you don’t believe in yourself as a player, you cannot execute your plan. Second, they support each other. If the bowler struggles against the batsman, they communicate with each other. Third thing is his wrist position.. Wasim bhai (Wasim Akram) also said about this whether it is Siraj, Shami or Bumrah, his wrist position shows the seam well. Not only that, the pressure that comes from behind is very important. We saw McGrath and Mohammad Asif, this was their case. The most important thing in this is their confidence.
Shoaib Akhtar’s statement between WC, said – Cheating is today’s cricket, I am Sachin’s…
Taking this further, former captain Misbah-ul-Haq said that I am talking about IPL 2007, when Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar were in his team. His coach knew that the new ball that moved and swung was his strength. Trust me, he came every day and spent a lot of time with the coach. How to maintain the wrist position, how to complete the action, we practiced it separately. With the flat conditions in India, the pitches are good and the quality of the batsmen is good, if the new ball doesn’t swing there is nothing you can do. From here they are developing their biomechanics which is also visible.
Hasan Raza said this
Let us tell you that former Pakistani cricketer Hasan Raza, who made his debut in international cricket at the age of 14, said on a Pakistani channel that many things have gone in India’s favor this year. Former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza said, ‘Many things have gone in India’s favor this year. Be it review or anything else, what kind of bowling Mohammad Shami and Siraj are bowling. We also played at a time when the ball was reverse swinging. But what is happening here. I think the ball is changing. Don’t know if ICC is giving him the ball or BCCI is giving him the ball. ICC should look into what is happening here. On Hasan Raza’s statement, great fast bowler Wasim Akram reprimanded him and said that by making such statements he is not only making fun of himself but the entire world.
