Rawalpindi Rams’ skipper Sohail Tanvir says playing under Shane Warne helped him – Cricket News Update
Pakistan’s domestic cricket team, Rawalpindi Rams’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665, appreciated the Aussie leg-spinner, Shane Warne, for his captaincy in the Indian Premier League and the guidance he provided to Tanvir.
“My experience of playing under http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 helped me,” Tanvir expressed.
In 2008, during the opening edition of the Indian Premium League (IPL), Pakistani fast bowler Tanvir was right on the money with the ball. He helped his team, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals in winning the event.
Tanvir took 22 wickets during the tournament and disturbed batsmen with his variations and unique bowling style.
The legendary Australian leg-spinner, Warne, who was the captain of the Rajasthan, showed his full confidence in the left-arm pacer and improved him further with his guidance.
After putting up an excellent performance in the inaugural season of the IPL, Tanvir did not find another opportunity to play the league because http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 sidelined the Pakistani players.
Recently however, Tanvir led Rawalpindi through the final of Pakistan’s domestic Twenty20 event, Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 Cup.
The Rams showed outstanding performance during the contest under Tanvir’s captaincy and beat Karachi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dolphins-c781 in the final, at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.
Rawalpindi’s captain won the toss and invited Dolphins to bat 1st to utilise the bowler friendly conditions of the wicket.
Karachi set a target of 165 for the Rams, courtesy a magnificent knock by the 23-year-old batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rameez-Raja-c2277 Jr.
While chasing the target, the Rams put up good fight against the Dolphins as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Amin-c94597 scored 32.
However, the scores were tied at the end of the 20 overs and a super over was bowled by each side in order to decide the match. The Rams emerged victorious in the nail-biting finish.
Meanwhile, Tanvir expressed delight over the victory and appreciated the performance of his http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Young-c98322 team.
“You cannot afford to make even a single mistake. All I did was play my cards accordingly. But at the end of the day it’s a team game and every player did well. Credit goes to them for this win,” the captain stated.
“This is a modern format of the game and is tough. We were the underdogs but still managed to win through hard work — this is the beauty of Twenty20,” he added.
