Even Mitchell Santner was surprised after bowling Virat Kohli.
Everyone was surprised by the way Virat Kohli was out during Team India’s first innings in the second match of the ongoing 3-match Test series against New Zealand at Pune ground. Mitchell Santner played an important role in the Indian team’s first innings score of 156 runs in the Pune Test match, in which he gave the best performance of his Test career and took 7 wickets for 53 runs. At the end of the second day’s play, the Kiwi team had scored 198 runs after losing 5 wickets in their second innings, after which they now have a total lead of 301 runs. In such a situation, it is now looking very difficult for the Indian team to make a comeback in the match.
Kohli does not play such shots quickly
Mitchell Santner, in his statement given in the press conference after the end of the second day’s play of the Pune Test match, in response to a question regarding Kohli’s wicket, said that getting him out on a full toss ball is a surprise for me myself. If seen, Kohli does not play such shots quickly. The ball I bowled to Kohli was just a little slow and often batsmen hit sixes on such balls and looking at Kohli I felt that he was going to play a similar shot. I often change the speed of my balls in limited overs cricket so that it is a bit difficult for the batsman to understand. I did the same with my balls during this test match.
Washington also did something similar in his bowling
In the Pune Test match, Washington Sundar, part of the playing 11 of the Indian team, showed wonders with the ball and took a total of 7 wickets in the first innings of the Kiwi team. Mitchell Santner also mentioned him in his statement in which he said that Sundar also changed the speed of his balls in a much better way. Regarding this match, Santner said that right now the team is trying to increase this lead further so that the work of the bowlers can be made easier.
