Former India girls’s cricket captain Mithali Raj stated that the brand new Impact Rule of substituting a participant of the crew administration’s alternative at any given level of time in the on-going IPL had helped the teams more so in the second innings.
“It does support a team which swaps a bowler in the second innings,” Mithali stated throughout a interplay with media on Monday.
On Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mithali felt it had a frightening job to make it to the play-offs due to weaknesses in the bowling division.
“Batting strength is good but even there except for Virat Kohli and the finisher Dinesh Karthik no one else is supporting Kohli.” “I don’t see any bowler whom you can say would win the match with one spell for RCB in this IPL. The only option for it is to shuffle around with the existing bowling resources for better results,” Mithali stated. “RCB needs quality spinners badly in the later part of IPL,” she added.
Mithali stated she was most impressed with 22-year-old Riyan Parag’s batting for Rajasthan Royals. “He has not done that great in the last few seasons and to overcome that and perform like the way he is doing now is amazing.”
“Kohli should be there in the T20 World Cup because of his class, experience and consistency. Definitely, his form at the top of the order for RCB does throw options to the Indian team management and it is for the captain and others to take a call whether he should bat at No. 3 or as an opener as Shubman Gill is already being there,” Mithali defined.
On leggie Yuzvendra Chahal, the previous India captain stated he must be picked on present kind for the approaching T20 World Cup however once more will depend on the captain’s consolation and confidence.
