Meanwhile, bowling coach Dwayne Bravo noted that yorkers without any pace will not be advantageous for any bowlers prior to their upcoming game against the Mumbai Indians. He does, however, encourage the death bowlers to succeed because he is aware that bowling yorkers is one of the most challenging duties. In addition to disclosing the “secret formula” for bowling in the dying overs, he also encourages the players to find their own individual styles.
Even though Chennai Super Kings won their second game of IPL 2023 against Lucknow Super Giants, captain MS Dhoni was not happy with his bowlers and even jokingly threatened to resign if they didn’t improve. In particular, the pacers let up a lot of runs in the first two games, and it is an area where the four-time winners need to improve right away.
“We all in the bowling group (Eric Simons) and the coach (Stephen Fleming) are on the same page and understand the idea of bowling. There is a certain template to follow. So, it is a work in progress. It is impossible to attempt to coach the players in the same manner that I did when I played and bowled at the back (death). The bowlers must find their own style, and we must support them and keep things simple.
The yorker is always the best delivery, but it’s also one of the trickiest to bowl. You must truly drill and develop various possibilities, such as bowling wide, straight, and other options, over and around the wicket. The last game was far better than the first game, which is the most crucial for bowling. It’s crucial to improve on the three yorkers we bowled, the 39-year-old was reported as saying by The New Indian Express.
The former captain of the West Indies further stated that when a pacer is under any kind of duress, yorkers are the best option. He thinks the hitters find it very challenging to hit, so he wants his bowlers to do it well.
You won’t live right now if you don’t bowl a yorker and have pace. You will not survive unless you bowl extremely quickly, like 150 kph or faster, and even then, there will come a time when you really need to rely on your yorker. When you are under pressure in the later innings, it is both the most challenging to bowl and the safest choice. When you can execute, it becomes impossible for a batter to hit a yorker, he continued.
