Moving Forward, Batters Will Be Given Chances To Bowl In The Match, Says Sairaj Bahutule
Skipper Rohit Sharma: In India’s ongoing tour of Sri Lanka, there has been a conscious effort from the visitors’ in making their batters bowl more. In the tied ODI series opener at R Premadasa Stadium, Shubman Gill was given an over to bowl, but conceded 14 runs.
Despite that, interim bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule stated the Indian top-order batters will be given chances to bowl more in the international games, as it can then be introduced as a surprise element towards any opposition team, citing how Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh struck at the fag end in third T20I win, which came via a Super Over.
“I think our batters are good bowlers as well, to be honest. You know their primary skill is batting, so at times, they don’t focus much on their bowling. But they have the skills, and the more they practice, whenever they get a chance, like you saw in T20Is, the way Rinku and Surya contributed and won the (third) match.”
