Mumbai Indians greet Ray Price as Tare, Davy and Ambati compete for keeping position
Mumbai Indians have greeted the services of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 Spinner Ray Price, who will be joining them before their match against the Deccan Chargers on Sunday, 24 April, 2011.
The left-arm spinner has replaced the Australian all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moises-Henriques-c2021, who continues to recover from surgery for an adductor muscle injury.
Ray will remain with the top franchise on the points table until the end of IPL ongoing edition.
Ray price is at the second position on ICC’s One Day Internationals (ODI) bowling rankings right now. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Price-c82662 was the best bowler amongst the Zimbabwe bowlers with an average of 18.77 and economy rate of 3.44.
Price shared that at the start of his International career, his aim was to finish at top of the rankings, however, being ranked number two in the world is exceptional and he will be eyeing the number one position.
In the mean time, Rohit Sharma is resolute in using the IPL to re-emerge in the international cricket.
The endowed right handed Indian batsman, who missed out on a World Cup berth earlier in the year, splintered a blistering 87 against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday as the hosts powered past the defending champions at the Wankhede Stadium and is looking forward to extend his affluent run of form against the Deccan Chargers.
"I know I missed out on the World Cup, but it's okay because such things happen. I just need to keep my focus. I must not lose heart and whenever I get the opportunity, just do my best," said Sharma, who last played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in January.
He added that he has been batting well. There has been pressure and he has done well. He is happy to score some runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007 as their starting wicket-keeper batsman.
Tare is hopeful about a good performance if he gets a chance to play against the chargers on Sunday.
Whilst South African star Jacobs kept the wicket in Mumbai’s first three matches this season, Indian rookie Rayudu has done so in the fourth and fifth games.
"It's always a challenge. There is healthy competition between me, Davy and Ambati. I am doing my very best in the training sessions. So, let us see how it goes," said Tare.
"Batting comes naturally to me. I love to play attacking shots. Hopefully, I can spend more time in the middle, plan my innings well and try and get runs for my side on a consistent basis."
