Relying on his outwinger, Mohammad Sirj has a little more confidence to bring his length a little further, which has brought him into two pacers by Ashish Nehra, the head coach of Titans, who has brought him into more effective bowlers, veteran Pesar Ishant Sharma. “Ashish Bhai did not change much in his bowling. The only change he had made, sometimes it was, Siraj did not feel very confident in his outing. But this is the only difference in a good coach, especially if that coach has bowled in international cricket.”
“So he has that experience, and he always told him,” Trust his outwinger. This is your stock ball. “
“So, Ashish Bhai said,” No, your first ball will be an outving. When this ball stops swinging, you will go for that ball (Vobel-Seam ball). So he kept it very simple-“This is your ball, you have to bowl,” You have to bowl, “said during a Star Sports Press Room Episode on Saturday.
He further explained the change in length, which has made Prasad more deadly with his hit-deck bowling style in the middle overs. “In relation to Prasad, the big change that Ashu Bhai has made is that, with him, his natural length used to be six meters, and because of that he bounces. So he told him that you have to take your length a little further.”
“If you understand in the meter, there are two separate soils that we play – black and red. So on the red soil, you have to bowl at four and a half meters away. With the same intention, you bowl towards the back of the length, you have to collide that length with four and a half meters. On the black soil, your length will be a bit, it will be five to six meters, it will be five to six meters.”
“So they practiced with him and then told him that when he feels that you are feeling confident about your length, then add a yorker in the middle. So it was a plus point because Ashu Bhai has played, and the game is so simple, like he said that he said that there is no better ball than length bowling. Your ball is not ending in three stumps, on top of the top,”
Former India’s fast-bouler Nehra, GT was coached for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 victory and the party still shared how the party shared on top of the issue table in the ongoing competition, how he has developed with Nehra being a team partner in Delhi and India who is now in a player-coalition.
“If I talk about my relationship, like, I have played with her, we used to play together while making our start. Not only the international start, but also at the beginning of our first class, he was bowling a lot, and I bowled a lot. So we know each other in many ways. We have meetings in the corridor, we can discuss the batsmen in the bus, we can be a batsman, it can be a batsman.”
“So we never really talk about meetings formally. In our meetings, we drink tea and coffee. So our meeting is not a formal meeting where we discuss the batsmen, that we will do this, we will do so. It’s a very cold atmosphere, and it’s not just with me, but with everyone,” they concluded.
