RCB have sorted out our bowling in the death overs: Yuzvendra Chahal
Chahal also had words of praises for Adam Zampa, who replaced Kane Richardson in their squad.
Yuzvendra Chahal, the Indian leg-spinner, reckons that the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have sorted out their issue of death bowling. On quite a few instances, Virat Kohli and Co couldn’t go over the line owing to their shoddy bowling in the last four to five overs. However, as per Chahal, the presence of Dale Steyn, Umesh Yadav and Chris Morris has strengthened their bowling.
Chahal, who got engaged last month to YouTuber Dhanashree Verma, also feels that the spinners will play a key role on slow and low wickets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Chahal, himself, has 100 wickets in the IPL from 84 matches after making his debut back in 2013.
“We have sorted out our bowling in the death overs. We have Dale (Steyn) sir, (Navdeep) Saini, (Chris) Morris and Umesh (Yadav) bhaiya. We are not worried about bowling the last few overs because everyone is ready and on wickets here (in UAE) spinners too can chip in with a couple of overs,” Chahal was quoted as saying in Cricbuzz.
Zampa is a wonderful leg-spinner, says Yuzvendra Chahal
The Challengers have quite a few decent spinners in their ranks, including Washington Sundar, Moeen Ali and Shahbaz Ahmed. Australia’s Adam Zampa has also joined the franchise after Kane Richardson backed out from the tournament to attend his pregnant wife.
“We have Washi (Washington Sundar), Moeen (Ali) and Shahbaz (Ahmed) in the line-up. That’s a good spin bowling attack to tackle the surfaces at the three venues – Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi,” Chahal stated.
Chahal also praised Zampa, who previously played for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL. In fact, the leg-spinner has also gotten the better of Kohli quite a few times. He’s currently playing in the three-match T20I series against England.
“Zampa is a wonderful leg-spinner who comes with a lot of experience. He has also played in India, and the wickets here are similar to those back home. His arrival has strengthened our attack because he comes fresh from international duty in the T20 format,” Chahal added, praising Zampa.
RCB will be starting their campaign against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday, September 21 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
