Mohammed Siraj Reveals How He Wants To Dismiss Kane Williamson

 


India pacer Mohammed Siraj on Tuesday has revealed how he wants to dismiss New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final if given a chance. He said that he will try to frustrate him with dot balls in the summit clash which begins on June 18 in Southampton as well.

“I will try to bowl in a particular spot tirelessly. I will focus on bowling dots against Kane Williamson, the best batsman in New Zealand line-up, to create pressure on him. It will provoke him to go for shots and there will be a high chance of getting him out,” said Siraj a day before the India squad fly for England.

The right-arm pacer, who made headlines on India’s tour of Australia last year and played an important role in helping the team win the Test series 2-1, where they had played without a few of their key players, has said that he will try to draw batsmen on to the front-foot in England since the pitches will be different from those in Australia s well.

“Australian pitches offer more bounce and pace. I used to bowl back of good length there. But in England, there will be more swing. So I will try to make the batsmen play on front-foot,” Siraj said to ABP News.

He also said that New Zealand will get acclimatized to conditions more than India as they are going to play two Test matches against England before the WTC final. The first of the two Tests will begin at Lord’s on Wednesday as well. And, they will certainly have the advantage considering the fact that they will play two Tests against England before the much-anticipated summit clash. Meanwhile, Team India will play a five-match Test series against England after the WTC Final in August as well.

Former KKR Spinner KC Kariappa applauds Gautam Gambhir

  KC Kariappa, the little known spinner from Bengaluru made headlines in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 auctions after KKR bought him on the back of some fine performance in a zonal T20 league. He was 21-year old then. While his IPL career didn’t take off, he shared his experiences recently alongside his debut under the captain Gautam Gambhir and recalled the memories as well. “Gambhir was a very good captain. He was a little strict in terms of bowling discipline, and effort on the field was something he wouldn’t compromise,” Cariappa told Sportskeeda. “Outside the field, he didn’t bother you. On the field, you had to give your 100% and that’s what I loved.” Notably, Cariappa’s maiden wicket was none other than the legend AB de Villiers. However, later was replaced by Sunil Narine who soon came in the limelight with his stunning bowling. However, he revealed that he didn’t get too many chances in the IPL even when he had played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). H...

  England captain Joe Root has backed his under-performing teammates and opened up on multiple factors behind it as well. He added that continuity is a hard thing to maintain amid the tough time of COVID-19 and bio-bubble also. However, England’s Test squad has always been criticized for their recent performances on several occasions. Earlier, England used to create trouble against any opposition but now they have lost the touch as well. And, the lack of continuity is the main reason behind it. Moreover, their batting unit has become inconsistent with their performance and Joe Root said that it’s something that is happening because of the pandemic in the world and praises the work ethics of his teammates amid this crunch time as well. “You see the guys put in the work time and time again. One thing you can never question about anyone in this team is their work ethic. I think everyone throws everything into their practice and does everything they can to make themselves better,...

  After scoring his maiden IPL hundred, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s young batsman Devdutt Padikkal said that he was keen to contribute for his team's win after he missed the first game of the ongoing league due to COVID-19. Padikkal had tested positive by the virus before the start of the IPL season but he returned in the second game against SunRisers Hyderabad. And, on Thursday evening, he scored an unbeaten 101 to help RCB register a registering 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium. "It's been special. I could only wait my turn. When I was down with COVID, all I was thinking of ways to come here and play the first match here. I couldn't do that but was keen to contribute to the team's win," Padikkal said at the post-match presentation. "The ball was coming on really well and we got a good start. When you get into a partnership like that, it helps as runs come from both ends." While chasing 178, Devdutt Padikkal and the...
