Sehwag and Tendulkar are the most difficult batsmen to bowl to, says Balaji – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 are the most difficult batsmen to bowl to as the two right-handers have the ability to hit boundaries even on good balls.
While speaking to ESPNcricinfo, the 31-year-old cricketer expressed that the two greats of Indian cricket have been successful at the ultimate stage of the game for such a long time because they have the skill to read the length of
a ball quickly.
He said, “Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. There is nothing like a good-length ball or a good ball for them. That is the feeling I get as a bowler. They adjust and adapt quickly to the bowler's lengths.”
Balaji thinks that the Sri Lankan skipper, Mahela Jayawardene is also an enormously talented batsman, having the experience and class to play his strokes according to his will.
“http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 is that kind of batsman. He will make you change your fields and has an advantage because he plays all the shots,” the medium-fast bowler mentioned.
The seamer, who was in the squad to take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 in the two-match T20 series, which begins from December 20, at Pune, has been ruled out of the competition because of an injury on his right toe. It is a massive setback to the Men
in Blue as Balaji was an integral part of the Indian side in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
The cricketer from Chennai however, is a very tough character who has made a lot of comebacks to international cricket. Balaji claims that he has learnt to be resilient and knows how to bounce back after injuries or poor performances.
He added, “You have to get up after you are knocked down. That has helped me stay strong each time I have been sidelined by injury or when I have been walloped for a lot of runs in an over.”
Balaji has so far represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in eight Tests, 30 One Day Internationals and five T20s, having picked up 71 victims at the highest level of the sport. The right-arm seamer has more than 300 first-class scalps under his belt.
