Leg-spinner Amit Mishra, who made a resounding comeback to the Indian Premier League (IPL) by taking four wickets for 24 runs against Mumbai Indians, said his strategy of going for the wickets paid off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Delhi Capitals (DC) bowler, who is playing only the second match of this season after the previous season - IPL 2020 -- was curtailed due to a finger injury, said he always likes to attack the batsmen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I always think about the wickets. I feel whenever you bowl in T20s, and you take wickets, then you put the opposition team under pressure. I never change my bowling, I try to bowl to my strengths,<\/strong>" said Mishra after his spell helped DC restrict MI to 137\/9 in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Mishra talked about his strategy to get rid of Hardik Pandya. He got both skippers Rohit Sharma and Pandya in one over. Both the batsmen were caught in the deep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "I always think about variations not change in pace. Whenever he (Hardik Pandya) comes, I'll go for a wicket. I just tossed it up, went for the wicket, and got it,<\/strong>" said Mishra who has 164 wickets and is just six behind Lasith Malinga's IPL record of 170 wickets. "The pitch was a little bit holding there, just trying to bowl in the right areas,<\/strong>" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Mishra played his first game on April 10 against Chennai Super Kings but went for 27 runs in his three overs and wasn't able to pick a wicket. That was his first match after October 3 last year. He was dropped after that. But on a spin-friendly and slow MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch, he proved his worth.<\/p>\r\n",
