    "editor1": "Assam Premier League: Dibrugarh Warriors all-rounder Doikho Das has credited India star Hardik Pandya as his idol, saying he is trying to model his game on the dynamic all-rounder\u2019s aggressive approach as he continues to make his mark in the inaugural Assam Premier League (APL) 2026.\n<p>Das has been one of the standout performers for the Warriors, who sit at the top of the points table with five wins from six matches and 10 points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The seamer has claimed 13 wickets in six games at an economy rate of 7.80, including an impressive 4\/33 against Charaideo Sunrisers. He believes his admiration for Pandya has influenced the way he approaches bowling, particularly his use of the short ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHardik Pandya is my idol. I like the way he plays his cricket, and I try to learn from his style. I focus on hitting the deck hard and bowling aggressively, especially with the short ball,\u201d Das said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe short ball is my stock delivery. It has brought me success, and with the pitches offering assistance, I am leaning into that strength,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Das has so far made his biggest impact with the ball, he considers himself an all-rounder and is waiting for an opportunity to contribute with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t had the chance to bat yet, but I\u2019m ready to make an impact whenever the opportunity arises. I want to contribute in both departments whenever my team needs me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 13-wicket haul has made Das one of the tournament\u2019s leading wicket-takers, but the youngster believes keeping things simple has been the key to his success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMy mindset is clear. I don\u2019t focus on the batter; I only focus on hitting my areas and sticking to the plan. That helps me stay disciplined and not get distracted,\u201d he reckoned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 13-wicket haul has made Das one of the tournament\u2019s leading wicket-takers, but the youngster believes keeping things simple has been the key to his success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>\u201cPersonal performances don\u2019t matter as much if the team doesn\u2019t win. I\u2019m not satisfied yet because I want to keep improving to help the team move forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
