The excitement of IPL is at its peak. In this season of IPL, the bowlers are getting washed out a lot. Scores of more than 250 have been made several times this season. Meanwhile, former Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who has taken more than 800 wickets in Test cricket, has raised questions on Indian spinners. He said what mistake are they doing.
Former Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan believes that India's young spinners are losing sight of the art of rotating the ball in an attempt to stop big shots. Muralitharan, the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, is the coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024.
You have to learn the art of turning the ball
Muralitharan said before the match against Chennai Super Kings, “The problem in India is that most of the spinners are not able to spin the ball because they are bowling too fast. They have to understand that if the ball is not spinning. So. The ball has to turn so it will be difficult for the batsmen to defend the ball. When the batsmen practice in the net session the ball comes straight, in such a situation the batsmen play with a predetermined mindset, hence when the ball spins. , They have to face the ball suddenly and learn the art of turning.”
Performance of India's spinners
Even though the batsmen have dominated this season of IPL. However, India's main spinners have left no stone unturned in taking wickets. Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 13 wickets in 9 matches. Apart from this, Kuldeep Yadav has sent 12 batsmen to the pavilion in seven matches. However, apart from these two, there is no Indian spinner in the top-15 list of bowlers who have taken the most wickets.
