Varun Chakravarthy has been ruled out of India's Asian Games campaign with a side strain, with young leg-spin all-rounder Vipraj Nigam named as his replacement. Nigam has played 19 IPL matches and will join India's squad in Japan
Delhi Capitals spinner Vipraj Nigam said his domestic and India A experience helped improve his game ahead of the IPL season. He expressed confidence in tackling Virat Kohli and highlighted strong team support despite recent losses
"I have played in the UPT20 League, and the best part for me was the support from my coach. He helped me realize that as a bowler, if you can’t hit sixes or finish games, your overall growth is limited. Working with him truly helped me improve as a player,” Vipraj shared on the JioStar special show.
We expected dew later in the innings, which would have helped with batting. But that didn’t happen. The pitch remained batting-friendly throughout, as seen from both sides scoring 190-plus runs,” the Delhi Capitals all-rounder added
For the connoisseurs of the game, Indian Premier League launched in 2008 was more of a ‘tamasha’ and that it would kill cricket by encouraging the young talent to prefer the more unorthodox style of playing, especially with the batters going for all those “across the line” strokes
