Before India’s semi-final match against New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey praised the bowling unit and evaluated each of the three pacers’ strengths. In the present ODI World Cup, Jasprit Bumrah has stood out, taking 17 wickets, while Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj have taken 16 and 12 wickets, respectively.
When discussing Mohammed Siraj development over the past few years, Mhambrey stressed that he was aware of his bowling and that he was picking up new skills at the program.
In addition, he mentioned Mohammed Shami, who has been outstanding ever since making his way back into the starting lineup at the World Cup. Mhambrey praised him and said it’s really hard to read the pacer.
A shami is a person with a seam that hits them straight up. You never know when Shami will find that seam or which direction it will go. Siraj has developed significantly over the past few years. He has a clear understanding of bowling, having advanced through the ranks. He’s started employing a different set of abilities, the wobbling seam,” India Today cited Mhambrey as stating.
The batsman is not given any information by Ravindra Jadeja: Mhambrey
In the area of spin, Ravindra Jadeja has excelled. An important factor in India’s victory has been his powerplay bowling and consistent wicket-taking. In Mumbai, the all-rounder might be useful once more because of the spinning ball, which occasionally poses problems for hitters. Mhambrey said of him that the 34-year-old is highly accurate with his line and length and doesn’t give anything away to the hitters.
“Jadeja has a very basic ability. Capacity to accurately hit the lengths and the deck. Very true. He is extremely frugal with the way he approaches bowling. keeps nothing secret from the batsman,” Mhambrey remarked.
The bowling coach also had nothing but love for India’s top wicket-taker in the competition, Jasprit Bumrah. He praised Bumrah for his amazing recovery from the injury and talked about his skill set and distinctive motion.
