Noor Ahmad and Kuldeep Yadav Show Why Wrist Spin Reigns Supreme in T20 Cricket

Noor Ahmad is a young Afghan bowler who is attempting to learn from all of them and Kuldeep Yadav is one of the finest left arm wrist spinners in the globe. Kuldeep is very impressed with Noor Ahmad. Kuldeep thinks his quick wrong'un is very thrilling. He tells that Noor bowls it at a good pace and that makes it difficult for the batsmen to spot. Noor and Kuldeep both are in good condition this season. Kuldeep took five wickets in three matches and his economy rate is as low as any other player this season. Noor is even better than this. He is the leading wicket taker currently with nine wickets and an economy rate of 6.83.

Kuldeep mentioned that he and Noor spoke just last night. They discussed leg spin and how to improve at it. Kuldeep mentioned that Noor is eager to learn and that is a very good attribute. He also mentioned that in a city like Chennai it is difficult to score against wrist spinners. Both players are likely to feature prominently when Delhi Capitals take on Chennai Super Kings.

Kuldeep also talked about Varun Chakravarthy who is a player in KKR. He mentioned that Varun has been excellent and is a very valuable player for India in T20 games. Varun has performed well for KKR for years. But Kuldeep has a different style compared to Varun's. Varun prefers to think about every delivery in some order. He has a method of what to deliver to each batsman. But Kuldeep revealed that he doesn't stick to any such pattern. He prefers being flexible and chooses what to bowl after observing the batter. He doesn't proceed with any predetermined plan such as ball one ball two and so on. He simply observes what the batter is thinking and then bowls the best delivery of the moment.

Kuldeep feels that the actual art of a wrist spinner is ball spinning. He told that even during T20 matches when bowlers need to stop runs they shouldn't lose touch with ball spinning. He always attempted to master his ball-spinning skill. His desire is to keep improving as a spinner and also he wants to play more red ball cricket. Red ball cricket requires genuine spin and control. Therefore, he continues to practice turning the ball the right way. Even in T20 matches where it is all about control and economy he still attempts to pick wickets in the middle overs. According to him, reading the batter's mind is the most significant thing in contemporary cricket.

Kuldeep told that in order to remain tough in the game you need to work daily. He attempts to realize what the batters are attempting to achieve. He adheres to his strengths and keeps things simple. He concentrates a great deal on the right length in all forms. He has played with Delhi Capitals for four years now and he believes that he has grown as a bowler. Now he is aware of what suits him and that is ball spinning.

Kuldeep also talked about his younger days. He used to see videos of Shane Warne who was his idol. Then after when he was with KKR he had the opportunity to learn from Wasim Akram. Wasim bhai told him a lot regarding the mental aspect of bowling. Kuldeep had informed Wasim would ask him questions such as what would you bowl in a particular situation and how would you manage pressure. These questions utilized his professional mode of thinking. It prepared him for the game even before hitting the field.

Kuldeep is a leading spin bowler now and he is glad to pass on knowledge to young cricketers such as Noor Ahmad. Noor is hungry to learn but is already doing great things. The fact that they are friends and respect one another illustrates that cricket unites players. It also illustrates that even in contemporary fast cricket the enchantment of wrist spin prevails. Bowlers like Noor and Kuldeep are showing that spin bowling is an art and with the right attitude and slog it can still win matches.
