In a glimpse of strategic leadership, Suryakumar Yadav, India’s cricket captain, was seen helping the team’s batters prepare for Usman Tariq, a Pakistani spinner known for his unorthodox bowling action, during a high-intensity practice session.
Usman Tariq, famous for his lower-arm game and the deliberate pause before releasing the ball, has become a challenge for even seasoned players. To tackle this, Yadav personally mimicked Tariq’s bowling action to give his teammates a real-time sense of the spin and pace they might face in the upcoming matches.
According to officials, facing a bowler like Tariq requires timing and anticipation. Yadav’s hands-on approach in the nets shows his commitment to ensuring the team is well-prepared.
This strategy comes ahead of India’s next T20 clash, where Tariq’s unique style could play a key role. Analysts believe that such focused net sessions not only boost player confidence but also help the team strategize better against unconventional bowling styles.
With the captain leading from the front, the Indian batting lineup seems ready to tackle Tariq’s tricky deliveries and maintain momentum in the ongoing T20 series.
