Ishant Sharma to Talk About His That Perfect Yorker:
Reflecting on his performance against KKR in Vizag, Ishant Sharma discussed his strategy, emphasizing execution over peripheral factors like field settings or opponent analysis. He stressed his focus on delivering each ball with precision, dismissing the notion of categorizing balls as “good” or “bad” in the fast-paced realm of T20 cricket. Sharma’s approach underscores his commitment to mastering the fundamentals and maintaining a clear mindset on the field.
He said, “ I knew that five fielders were inside the circle and also if I missed, where the ball has to travel. It is difficult for the bowler to miss the execution, so all I was thinking about bowling a perfect yorker.”
He further said, “ In this format, there is nothing like a good ball or a bad ball. You can get hit on good balls and take wickets on bad deliveries. So, my thinking is to execute my deliveries as well as possible, according to my plans. I do not think much about field settings, ground dimensions and who is facing me.”
Ishant Sharma highlighted the importance of rigorous practice in mastering the yorker delivery. He emphasized the necessity of consistent training to perfect the execution of such precise bowling techniques. Sharma’s remarks underscore the dedication and effort required to achieve proficiency in delivering yorkers effectively.
