Former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh has lauded Mumbai Indians’ Piyush Chawla ahead of their upcoming match against the Lucknow Super Giants in the second qualifier match for the 2023 Indian Premier League.
Former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh has remarked that Mumbai Indians’ Piyush Chawla had incredible “wicket-taking software” before the second qualifier match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, which will be played between Lucknow Super Giants and MI. On Wednesday, the Eliminator between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. In their most recent matchup, which took place in IPL 2023, LSG defeated the five-time defending champions.
This time around, Mumbai Indians hope to exact revenge and even the score.
The Chepauk course has a history of favoring spinners. All eyes will be on the experienced spinner for MI, Piyush Chawla, but both LSG and MI have great spin bowlers.
The 34-year-old leg-spinner has received praise from former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh.
Amazing wicket-taking software developed by Piyush Chawla. He’s a really cool dude. He has used his spin to cause problems for seasoned players on every squad. I’m overjoyed for him because no team last year thought he was worth keeping. It has shown this season that experience cannot be replaced. On Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Singh proclaimed, “There is no match for this player.”
Mohammad Kaif, a former Indian cricketer, has also gushed over the Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner for carrying his team’s scoring burden.
Half of Mumbai’s wickets have been taken by Chawla. Clearly, a world-class bowler. As if it were now routine for him to take a wicket with the opening ball of every game. Chawla has demonstrated that novice knowledge cannot compete with hands-on practice. His deliveries are consistent, and he’s been successful on a wide variety of wickets. His contribution this year has been significant.
As a player who has produced some explosive innings, Mr 360-degree Suryakumar Yadav will also garner a lot of attention from fans.
For the spin-friendly Chennai track, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar lauded Yadav’s batting effort this season but advised him to make such slight adjustments.
“SKY is excellent. Take a look at the huge steps he makes when playing those family shots. But he must improve his playing strategy when facing slow and turning pitches. For MI’s chances in the Playoffs, he will be indispensable. Keep in mind that the slow Chennai track will be used for the first couple of playoff games.
Senior cricketer Krunal Pandya has performed admirably for LSG in the absence of regular captain KL Rahul, making the most of the resources he has been given. According to Harbhajan Singh, LSG will do well on slow Chepauk surfaces because of the manner the elder Pandya Brother rotated the spinners.
Krunal Pandya deserves praise for his strategic use of bowler rest. LSG’s spin bowling was at its finest in this match versus KKR. The spinners deserve praise for their bravery in the middle overs and under pressure. Chepauk like spinners, so that’s promising news for them before the Playoffs.
Yusuf Pathan, a former India cricketer, commended LSG coach Gautam Gambhir for sticking with Nicholas Pooran through his difficulties.
It’s clear that Gautam Gambhir has faith in Nicholas Pooran’s abilities. The management of the LSG squad has given Nicholas Pooran the confidence and resources to succeed in the IPL this season.
