"The More Googlies You Bowl, Your Leg-Spin Will Be More Effective": Yuzvendra Chahal Reveals Rohit Sharma's Advice
Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who snared four wickets in the first ODI against the West Indies here, has credited new white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma for the performance, saying the star batter made him realise that the more googlies he bowled, the more effective his leg-breaks would become. India won the match by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. "We had spoken before the game. The thing which you said before the game, the thing I missed in South Africa, I didn't bowl more googlies, so it was there in my mind," Chahal told Rohit in an interview aired on 'bcci.tv'.
India vs West Indies: Jason Holder feels Windies batters should put bigger prize on their wickets
West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who top scored in the first ODI against India here, feels that their batters should put a bigger prize on the wickets in the remaining two games. Once again West Indies failed to bat all the 50 overs and were shot out for a meagre 176 in just 43.5 overs. Eventually, the visitors lost the game by six wickets to go 0-1 down in the three-match series. “We just got to put a bigger prize on our wicket, too many soft dismissals in the innings today (on Sunday). The pitch was a little difficult to start off but more or less we still got to dig a little-bit deeper, put (up) a much better fight. "We got a couple of days off and come back stronger,” Holder told a select group of reporters in his post-match comments on Sunday.
India vs West Indies: Slow and steady works for Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal was left out of the T20 World Cup squad in favour of Rahul Chahar, the ostensible reason given for his exclusion was the slower speed that he bowled at. "You want a spinner who can bowl with more speed. Recently we have seen Rahul Chahar bowling with speed. Our view was we need a spinner who can find the grip off the surface at a quicker speed and while we had a lot of discussion on Chahal, we eventually went with Rahul Chahar." These were chief selector and former India pacer Chetan Sharma's words.
