Trivandrum, Nov 25: Trying to stay a step ahead of players like Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan has always been left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff’s endeavour but it is easier said than done at times, admitted the Australian speedster ahead of the second T20 International against India.
Behrendorff was the only Aussie bowler, who came out unscathed with figures of 1/25 in his full quota even as all others conceded well over 11 runs on an average during India’s record run-chase of 209 in the opening game in Visakhapatnam.
Skipper Surya’s 80 off 42 balls and Kishan’s half-century laid the foundation of India’s win.
So, when asked what could possibly be his strategy to stop his Mumbai Indians teammate, Behrendorff replied in jest, “Give the ball to someone else may be.” “They are all pretty good players and may be try to keep them guessing, just to stay one step ahead which is hard to do at times. Maybe, do what we can in terms of change in pace, line and length,” the lanky seamer said during the pre-match media conference on Saturday. (IANS)
