IPL 2024: Important Thing Is How To Use The Variations According To The Game Situation, Says Mohit Sharma
Impact Player Washington Sundar: Veteran pacer Mohit Sharma was the pick of the bowlers for Gujarat Titans’ in their seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad via his brilliant 3-25. On receiving the Player of the Match award, Mohit said it is important for someone operating in the back end of the innings to see how to use variations as per the game situation.
“Practice is normal, but the important thing is how to use the variation according to the game situation. Bowlers do have variations but it matters when and how to use it. It’s important when you have two balls in mind, the batters are also ready, they are ready for the slower bouncer, but they are not ready for the slower short ball wide of the wicket, so I mix and match,” he said after the match ended.
Mohit was impressive with his cutters and slower deliveries, including offering great control in the back end of the innings to keep SRH to a below-par 162/8. Operating in overs 17-20 for Gujarat Titans since joining their camp in the IPL, Mohit has picked 17 wickets at an economy rate of 8.13, including 41 dot balls.
