PBK -I have been said to improve the PowerPlay bowling
In interaction on ESPNCRICINFO in front of the conflict of PBKS VS KKR, former Punjab Kingsim Jaffer coach said bowling in PowerPlay is a great concern for the side shreyas iyer. He stated:
“I would say, Arshdeep, because he didn’t pick up Wikets early. You know, they watch him choose Vitle in Powerplay, and also Marco Jansen. He was not so effective. I don’t know how serious Lockie injury is and where they are particularly reported, whether they go to him, or show or show up, and they show, or show up.”
While talking about the most expensive Spinner in the history of IPL auction, Yuzvendra Chahal, Wasim Jaffer said he had to show more aggression with the ball. He elaborated:
“I just feel that he needs to change his mindset a little more. It has to be a little more aggressive. He goes to a very defensive approach, wanting to slide the ball, not give a spin, which we saw when he pulled Travis.
“As soon as he hits him, he tries to push him down outside the stumps and thicken those sliders, not want to spin the ball. We saw that Viravam was doing it. We saw other leg ribbons.
