MS Dhoni to rely on his fast bowlers in the Champions Trophy – Cricket News
Geared up for the opening match of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, has expressed that fast bowlers are going to play a massive role in this tournament.
Taking into account the English conditions, where the seam bowlers tend to get additional help with the new ball, the wicketkeeper batsman thinks that the teams will look to keep their wickets in hand in the opening overs of an
innings.
"The fast bowlers have a really important role. If you see the way the game has progressed, and see the statistics, most of the sides in the first 10 overs will be happy to get 40 or 45 runs and keep as many wickets intact as possible,”
said the cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jharkhand-c800.
Dhoni is of the view that run-scoring becomes easy in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 as the ball gets older; hence, it is imperative for the sides to tune their strategies according to the playing conditions.
He added, “That loss of 20 runs in the first 10 you can make up later if you have wickets in hand. If a side gets going more often than not they will end up scoring more than 300. We need to adapt quickly."
Historically, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 rely heavily on their spinners to win games; however, the Men in Blue completely understand that their fast bowlers have to perform well if they desire any chance of competing well in the event.
Indian pacers did a commendable job in the warm up fixture against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 picking up five wickets at the start of the innings to break the back of Kangaroos’ batting line-up.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bhuvneshwar-Kumar-c48045 also impressed the sporting analysts, who believe that Dhoni’s men would have a great chance of making inroads in the tournament if their seam bowlers continue to do well.
India are placed in group B of the event along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. It remains to be seen which two of these teams are able to find a place in the semi-finals of the competition.
