CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies, Bhopal:
Indian fast bowler Anshul Kamboj is in the spotlight for his performance in the ODI series against New Zealand. Bowling impressively in the first two matches, he did not allow New Zealand’s batters to play freely. Ahead of the third ODI, Anshul explained the secret of his success and described the experiences he gained from Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) coach Stephen Fleming as important. He said spending time with both stalwarts has been a major learning opportunity for him.
Cricket in Haryana since age 13
The Haryana fast bowler said he began playing cricket at the age of 13. His experience of playing cricket during winters in Lahli, Haryana, is helping him in New Zealand conditions. The cold weather there and pitches suited to fast bowlers feel like familiar conditions to him. According to Anshul, bowling with the right line and length is his biggest priority.
Important lessons from Dhoni and Fleming
Anshul described his experience with Chennai Super Kings as an important learning phase in his career. He said working with MS Dhoni and Stephen Fleming gave him an opportunity to understand the game better. One important part of the lesson learned from Dhoni is to focus on his process and responsibility rather than on results. According to Anshul, he is still learning continuously and is trying to perform his role on the field better.
Accurate bowling brings success in New Zealand
Anshul took two wickets for 22 runs and two wickets for 25 runs respectively in the first two ODI matches. He said he first understood the weather and the pitch to adapt to New Zealand conditions. The experience of playing with India-A also proved useful for him. According to him, bowling in the right areas according to the wicket and match situation is the key to success.
Anshul believes that instead of thinking too much about the result, it is important to focus on preparation, discipline and the quality of bowling. This mindset is helping him move forward in international cricket.
