He now has 13 wickets in seven games at an average of 16.76 and an economy rate of 8.38.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It feels really good, but it will feel even better if we go on to win the match from here. Nothing different as such. I\u2019m just doing what I know best. I\u2019m sticking to my line and length, backing my strengths, and working with the two or three variations that I\u2019ve added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, because if we bowl even slightly short, it becomes easy for batters to hit boundaries. So on red soil, hitting the right length is very important,\" Yadav said in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the match, Prince ensured there was no middle-order recovery for RR as he dismissed skipper Riyan Parag, who holed out to long-on. He later removed Donovan Ferreira by having him caught at third man to leave RR reeling at 110\/6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely, because if we bowl even slightly short, it becomes easy for batters to hit boundaries.

It\u2019s just practice, and also a lot of credit goes to our coach. He\u2019s a very good coach. We have practised a lot, and Bharat Arun Sir has also helped us a lot,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
