Kolkata http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Knight-c71599 Riders’ paceman Lakshmipathy Balaji, who won the Man of the Match award in Sunday’s game against Rajasthan Royals, gave full credit to their bowling coach Wasim Akram for his match-winning performance.
Balaji expressed that he along with his pace colleagues in the team have been learning many things from the legendary fast bowler.
“We all know what is he (Akram) capable of. Definitely it’s an education for each and every member of the team. We all are learning every bit of what he does. Like how to attack and all. All these things are very important for a bowler,” Balaji said.
It was Balaji’s extraordinary bowling which helped KKR to bowl the Royals out for a small total of 81 which they eventually overcame with 37 balls to spare.
The fast bowler maintained an impeccable line and length throughout the game, taking vital wickets of Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970.
The right-armed bowler, who has picked up 50 wickets in his 46 Twenty20 matches, lauded Akram for his excellent bowling figures.
KKR bowling coach Akram has already said that the team would do well in the fourth season of Indian Premier League under the leadership of their new captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gautam-Gambhir-c58623.
With their second consecutive victory over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals in a space of just three days, the Riders have now jumped up to the top of the season four standings.
Showing his enormous delight over his side’s third successive triumph in the ongoing competition, Balaji warned his teammates not to get carried away with the victory but to work even harder for the upcoming contests.
“It’s not over yet. We have still 10 more matches to go. We have to have a rhythm to go into the next level,” the lanky pacer added.
Balaji regarded Watson’s dismissal as his biggest wicket of the season. The former Indian fast bowler further vowed to bowl similarly in the forthcoming matches of the competition.
