Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler expressed relief after returning to form with a crucial knock against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, revealing that a renewed focus on basics and some timely advice helped him overcome a lean patch. Yeah, it's been around for a while. And yeah, nice to be back scoring runs. Obviously had a bit of a lean patch in the last few months. So nice to find some form and contribute to another win, Buttler said while also reacting to his massive feat of 100 fifties in T20 cricket. The England star admitted that stepping away briefly from the game allowed him to reset mentally and technically. I actually had a little bit of space from the game and time to just kind of think. And it sort of just came to me. I've just been focusing a lot in the weeks I've been here on my setup and my basics, he explained. Buttler pointed out that minor technical flaws had affected his ability to track the ball, something he worked hard to correct. I think a few technical issues maybe crept into my game, which actually allowed me not really seeing the ball that well. So it's a hard game if you're not picking up the ball well. So I've just been focusing on everything pre delivery and then backing that. As I said, I've played for 15 years. I'll know what to do when I get in, he added. He also credited former Australia opener Matthew Hayden for offering simple yet effective guidance. He just asked actually one of the first few sessions, how well are you watching the ball? It doesn't look like you're tracking it that well. So, you know, great players like him with the most simple advice, which is nice. And yeah, he's been great. I've really enjoyed spending time with him. Obviously, he's got a big presence and that aura. So when he speaks, you listen, Buttler said.

IPL 2026: Makes My Life Very Easy, Says Gill Of Bowlers Performance After Win Over LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill credited his bowlers for setting up the teams seven-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, highlighting their discipline in both the powerplay and middle overs as the key to restricting the opposition. The way we bowled in the powerplay was very impressive. And I think how we kept the pressure in the middle overs was also tremendous by the bowlers. Makes my life very easy, you know, Gill said, praising the collective effort. He reserved special praise for Rashid Khan, underlining his ability to turn games in GTs favour. The way he's bowling at the moment, Rashid, getting us back in the game every time, you know, another bowler is under pressure. So makes my life very easy. Gets the wicket, gets the dot balls, and it's very hard to hit him, he added. Gill also reflected on the importance of sticking to basics, especially in the early stages of an innings. I think in the first six overs, it's all about, it's very difficult to do the simple things because you might sometimes get much ahead in the game. So it's important to come back and realise, you know, what are the simple things that I need to do right now in the moment, he noted. Explaining how Gujarat regained control, the 26-year-old pointed to disciplined execution from his bowlers. And I think in this match, he did that really well. The first over that he bowled was spot on. And then in the third over, how he kept his length and did the simple things and that got us back in the game, how Siraj bowled and even, I think, how KG went for a few runs. But I think he was spot on with his length. He was a little bit unlucky. Few played on and a few good shots, but that happens in a T20 game, he said. The GT skipper admitted that the team conceded slightly more than they would have liked at the death. Yeah, it wasn't easy. You know, in the last, I think, two or three overs, we went for a little bit more, especially in the back end of the innings. I felt we gave like 10 runs extra how where we were in the game with them six or seven down. But definitely we would have taken at the start of the innings, we would have taken 160 on this wicket, Gill explained.

IPL 2026: Not Enough Runs, We Didnt Grab Opportunities Says Pant After LSG Fall Short Against GT
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant admitted that his side fell short with the bat and failed to capitalise on the opportunities presented in the game after their defeat to the Gujarat Titans here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, conceding that the total on the board was below par on a surface that demanded more application. Definitely not enough runs. There's nothing from the fact that they bowled well, Pant said after the loss, acknowledging the role played by Gujarats disciplined bowling attack in keeping LSG in check. Reflecting on the nature of the pitch, Pant stressed that a higher total would have made a significant difference. I think in a wicket like this, a score like 170 to 180 is a really good score. But, you know, the wicket kept on falling and they put enough pressure on us to get those wickets going, he added, pointing to the regular loss of wickets that prevented his side from building momentum. Despite the shortfall, Pant believed there were still moments where the game could have tilted in LSGs favour. On a wicket like this, like I said, 170 to 180 is a good score. But at the same time, you know, you still have opportunities. I wouldn't say I'm a hard guy. So there were opportunities in the game. We just couldn't grab it enough, he noted, highlighting missed chances across phases. The LSG captain also backed his batting unit, urging patience as the tournament progresses.

Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans pacer Prasidh Krishna credited a collective bowling effort and a positive team environment after his match-defining four-wicket haul helped restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 164/8 in their IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium. The right-arm quick, who returned impressive figures of 4/28, said confidence from consistent game time and the atmosphere within the Gujarat camp have played a key role in his performances this season. There is confidence having played a full season coming in, feeling good, running in well, and the team atmosphere is pretty good. That helps me, Prasidh said after the innings. Operating effectively through the middle overs, Prasidh broke the backbone of LSGs batting by removing key batters, including Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran. However, the pacer played down his individual brilliance, attributing his success to favourable moments and sustained pressure created by the bowling unit. I don't know. I did bowl everything, but I just felt I got lucky on those balls and ended up being my wicket taking ball. But otherwise, it's quite a challenging wicket for batsmen and the bowlers. Bowlers, you need to be on the mark. It was a collective effort from the bowlers that we were able to put the pressure on and I was just the lucky one to get the wickets today, he added. The Ekana surface offered variable bounce and demanded discipline, something Gujarats bowlers executed well for the most part, especially during a crucial phase where LSG struggled to score freely. Prasidh also reflected on his growth since joining the Gujarat Titans, hinting that both experience and the team environment have contributed to his improved returns. I would definitely like to think there's something in the air for sure. If that's the case, I'm more than happy to breathe that in and get the best out of myself. But otherwise, yeah, getting a little older, getting a little wiser, I would say. And with the right people around, you're born to learn the right things. Equally, I'd say, he noted. Despite his standout spell, Prasidh cautioned that the pitch remained competitive for both batters and bowlers, pointing to the late surge conceded by Gujarat in the death overs as evidence.

Prasidh Krishnas personal-best T20 figures of 4-28, followed by a dominant batting display led by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, powered Gujarat Titans to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium on Sunday. Chasing a competitive 165, the Titans made light work of the target, reaching 165/3 in 18.4 overs to register a clinical victory, built on a commanding second-wicket partnership and a late flourish. GT began cautiously but steadily, with Gill and Sai Sudharsan laying the foundation. Sudharsan (15) fell early to Digvesh Rathi, but that was the only breakthrough LSG managed during the powerplay as GT cruised to 52/1 after six overs. From there on, Gill took control of the chase with a classy knock, mixing timing with authority. He capitalised on anything loose, particularly taking on Mohammed Shami in a 20-run over that shifted momentum firmly in GTs favour. The skipper brought up a fluent half-century off 34 balls, finishing with 56 off 40 deliveries before falling to Prince Yadav. At the other end, Buttler grew into his innings after a watchful start and then unleashed a barrage of boundaries. The Englishman was particularly severe on Avesh Khan, smashing three consecutive fours in one over as GT surged ahead in the middle overs. Buttler notched up his 100th T20 fifty, reaching the milestone in just 34 balls, and went on to score a match-defining 60 off 37 balls, laced with 11 fours. The duos partnership ensured that the required rate never became a concern, with GT racing to 128/1 by the 14th over, effectively putting the game beyond LSGs reach. Though the home team found brief respite through the wickets of Gill and Buttler in quick succession, the target had already been whittled down significantly. Rahul Tewatia (10 not out off 8) and Washington Sundar then calmly finished proceedings, with Sundar sealing the win with a composed unbeaten 21 off 13 balls, including a six and a couple of boundaries. Earlier, Gujarats bowlers had set up the victory with a disciplined effort to restrict LSG to 164/8. The hosts managed to post a competitive total, thanks to a late lower-order surge after a stuttering middle phase. Put to bat, LSG raced to 60/2 in the powerplay. Aiden Markram anchored the innings with 30 off 21 balls, but regular wickets derailed their progress.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest player to cross the 4,000-run mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The milestone came during his knock against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, when he moved past the landmark with his 25th run. The elegant right-hander reached the feat in 118 innings, making him the second-fastest Indian to get to 4,000 IPL runs, behind KL Rahul, who accomplished it in 105 innings. Among all players, only Chris Gayle (112 innings), David Warner (114) and Jos Buttler (116), besides Rahul, have reached the milestone quicker than Gill. Gills consistency has been a hallmark of his IPL career, with the opener maintaining an average close to 40 and a strike rate around 140. He began his journey in the league with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018, representing the franchise for four seasons and scoring 1,417 runs in 58 matches. A move to the Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2022 season marked a turning point, with Gill elevating his game to new heights. Since then, he has amassed over 2,580 runs in 63 appearances, averaging in excess of 46 and striking at nearly 150. Notably, no batter has scored more runs than him in the IPL since the start of the 2022 edition.

IPL 2026: Lower-order Surge Lifts LSG To 164/8 Against GT
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: A late flourish powered by cameos from the lower order helped Lucknow Super Giants post a competitive 164/8 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. After being put in to bat, LSG made a brisk start in the powerplay, racing to 60/2 despite losing early wickets. Mitchell Marsh set the tone with an aggressive 11 off just four balls before falling to Kagiso Rabada, while Rishabh Pant injected momentum with a breezy 18 off 11 deliveries, including a six and two boundaries, before Mohammed Siraj removed him. Opener Aiden Markram then anchored the innings through the middle phase, striking a fluent 30 off 21 balls. He found regular boundaries and looked set for a bigger contribution, but Gujarats disciplined bowling struck back at crucial intervals. Prasidh Krishna, in particular, proved effective with his variations, dismissing Markram with a well-directed short ball to break a promising stand. The middle overs saw LSG lose momentum as wickets fell in clusters. Ayush Badoni (9) and Nicholas Pooran (19 off 21) struggled to accelerate, with the latter managing only two sixes in an otherwise scratchy knock before falling to Prasidh. Abdul Samad (18 off 22) too failed to convert his start, as Gujarat tightened their grip with a mix of pace-off deliveries and hard lengths. At one stage, LSG were reduced to 120/6 in the 17th over, staring at a below-par total. However, a late surge led by Mukul Choudhary, George Linde and Mohammed Shami provided a much-needed boost. Mukul chipped in with 18 off 14 balls, including a six, while Lindes quickfire 16 off 10 deliveries, featuring three boundaries, injected momentum in the death overs. The final over proved particularly fruitful, yielding 18 runs as Mohammed Shami capped off the innings with a six and a boundary, while Avesh Khan added a four to push the total past the 160-mark. For the Titans, Prasidh was the standout performer with figures of 4/28, consistently troubling the batters with his change of pace and short-ball strategy. Rabada was expensive, conceding 54 runs in his four overs despite picking up a wicket, while Siraj (1/19) and Ashok Sharma (2/32) chipped in with timely breakthroughs. The final over proved particularly fruitful, yielding 18 runs as Mohammed Shami capped off the innings with a six and a boundary, while Avesh Khan added a four to push the total past the 160-mark.

Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Washington Sundar shed light on his approach to handling high-pressure situations, emphasising the importance of staying mentally free and trusting his natural game. Speaking on GTs tense last-ball win in their previous game ahead of their clash against Lucknow Super Giants, Sundar highlighted how focusing on the right energy and allowing instincts to take over has shaped his performances, offering insight into the mindset that drives him in crunch moments. Sundar himself played a pivotal role in the win, contributing a valuable half-century, and the all-rounder spoke about his approach with the bat this season, focusing more on mindset than technical changes. Honestly, it's just about going out there and putting your best energy out and just let your instincts come through. And there's not a lot of things that I honestly worked on, especially mentally. Just wanted to go there and be in the right energy and just express myself, he said ahead of the LSG vs GT clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Gujarat edged out Delhi in a dramatic finish that went down to the final ball, with their bowlers holding firm under immense pressure. Sundar admitted the narrow margin left plenty to think about, even as the team took confidence from how they handled crunch situations. There were a lot of things that were running on all of our minds in terms of how close the game went. And obviously, could have executed things a little better here and there. But to be honest, bowlers bowled really well, especially under pressure. And Prasidh in particular, bowling that final over with five fielders inside the circle, defending 12, it's always going to be a lot challenging. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted. While such wins can often provide momentum, Sundar was measured in his assessment of its impact on the campaign, underlining the importance of consistency in a long tournament. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted.

LSG vs GT Live Score, IPL 2026 LIVE Cricket Score Updates: Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh have opened the proceedings for Lucknow Super Giants against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 match.
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener Aiden Markram expressed his satisfaction at returning to the top of the order while reiterating his team-first approach ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. After winning the toss, Gujarat asked Lucknow to bat first in the 19th match of the tournament, setting the stage for Markram to build on a modest start to the season. The South African has crossed the 40-run mark just once in three outings so far, with a 45 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) being his standout effort. Reflecting on his return to the opening slot, Markram, speaking on the sidelines of the LSG vs GT clash, said, I do enjoy it up top. Nice to be back there, but you obviously just do whatever you can for the team. If the best balance is not me at the top, I'm also happy with that. But yeah, it's been nice to be back up at the top. Markram has been opening alongside Australian T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh, and the 31-year-old highlighted the strong bond the duo shares, both on and off the field. It's really good.

Pathirana Clears Fitness Test, Granted NOC From SLC To Join KKR: Report
Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have received a big boost ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday, as pacer Matheesha Pathirana has reportedly cleared the fitness test and been granted the no-objection certificate from the Sri Lankan board to travel to India and link up with his team, KKR. Pathirana was purchased by KKR for a whopping 18 crore in the IPL 2026 Auction. However, his participation had been uncertain after a left-leg injury during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, where he bowled only four deliveries against Australia before leaving the field. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, the Lankan pacer has recovered sufficiently from his injury to travel to India. He is likely to join KKR there on April 17, the day of their next game against Gujarat Titans. However, Pathirana will miss the match against his former team CSK (April 14) and Gujarat Titans (April 17). The report said Pathirana will only be available for selection from the subsequent game, on April 19 at home against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Pathirana boasts a strong record in IPL. He earlier played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), taking 47 wickets in 32 matches and contributing to their 2023 title win. His experience in bowling at death could help a KKR bowling unit that has lacked consistency, especially with injuries to the main pacers.

IPL 2026: CSK Skipper Gaikwad Fined 12 Lakhs For Slow Over-rate Offence
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during IPL 2026 against Delhi Capitals at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gaikwad has been fined 12 lakhs for maintaining a slow over-rate in his team's first win of the season after three consecutive losses. As this was his teams first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPLs Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gaikwad was fined Rs 12 lakhs, the IPL said in a statement. Gaikwad became the third skipper who was found guilty of a slow over-rate offence after Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer and Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill.

IPL 2026: 'Mukul Match Jita Dega' - The Coach Who Predicted Choudhary's Breakthrough Heroics
When Lucknow Super Giants: When Lucknow Super Giants needed 54 runs off 24 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, most of them had written off their chances of winning the match. But in a restaurant in Udaipur, Rajasthans batting coach Nikhil Doru hadnt given up. Having dinner with his friends, who dont belong to the cricketing ecosystem, they quipped the match was out of LSGs reach. But Doru was watching it differently and told them a certain Mukul Choudhary would win the game for LSG. I told them, Mukul match jita dega (Mukul will win the match from here). Their reply was, The situation is such that they cannot win from here. How can they win? I told them, I have seen him play before and he will definitely win the match from here. Right after saying this, he began to hit boundaries consistently, recalled Doru in an exclusive conversation with IANS, ahead of LSG facing Gujarat Titans. After making just one run from his first five deliveries, Choudhary accelerated into a flurry of boundaries, punctuated by a helicopter shot that mirrored the trademark stroke of MS Dhoni. With eight runs needed from three balls, Doru told his friends a six would come now. Right on the money, Choudhary carved a wide yorker from Vaibhav Arora over extra cover for six. When LSG won and Choudhary thanked the Almighty with folded hands after being unbeaten on 54 off 27 balls, Doru was an elated man and spoke to him on Friday morning, where the topic of discussion was not taking any risks and fear of being unable to get going replaced by him showcasing his shots in the last two-three overs. To understand why Doru was so supremely unruffled, one needs to rewind to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, where Rajasthans game against Delhi in Ahmedabad played out in almost the same way. The Rajasthan dugout had lost all hopes of winning the match but Choudhary hit a whirlwind 62 not out off just 26 balls, laced with seven sixes, and turned a certain loss into a stunning victory. Mukul had that innate belief of winning the match for us if he played till the end. In the last over, we needed 25 runs and he hit four sixes off Ayush Badoni. Then the equation came down to six runs off the last ball and he sent the ball over the ropes for six, recalled Doru. After that game, Doru sat down with Choudhary, who became a lower-order hitter after being an opener in U14 and U16 levels, and asked him the what was going through his mind when the situation looked so tough to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat, and when he himself wasn't scoring freely? The answer has stayed with Doru since then, as Choudhary would repeat it almost verbatim to broadcasters after pulling off a heist against KKR. If I play till the last ball, I will win the match for the team. My aim was to play till the end because if that happened, I would win the game. Those words, Doru believes, is the key to decoding Choudhary the cricketer. When the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy began, Choudhary wasn't in Rajasthan's playing eleven. When Kartik Sharma injured his finger, the coaching staff - who had been demanding for Choudhary's inclusion from the selectors before the tournament began - finally got their man. After Choudhary felt a train from Sikar to reach Ahmedabad would lead him to miss the game, he tried taking a flight. But due to IndiGo having operational issues and other airlines not having seats, that option was ruled out. Choudhary reached Ahmedabad at 4am via a car drive with his friend and slept for some time before walking in for his first game against Delhi and became an instant hero. Following that match-winning performance, Doru dispatched Choudharys statistics and video footage to Vikram Solanki, Director of Cricket at Gujarat Titans, and V Cheluvaraj, a scout for Chennai Super Kings. At last years auction in Abu Dhabi, LSG secured Choudharys services for Rs 2.6 crore, outbidding interests from Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Hailing from Khedaro Ki Dhani village in Rajasthans Jhunjhunu district, Choudharys rise was 12 years in the making. His father Dalip had decided even before getting married that his firstborn would be a cricketer. When Choudhary arrived in 2004, Dalip got into the quest of making him a cricketer. He quit his teaching job, gave up on his Rajasthan Administrative Services (RAS) ambitions and sold his home, while pivoting into the volatile real estate and hospitality sectors, with debts mounting to Rs three crores. His mother, Sunita, swapped sleep for 4am meal prep, and monitored Mukuls progress from her classroom window before leaving her job. Mukul was then enrolled at the SBS Cricket Academy at Sikar, a place 80 kms away from Jhunjhunu, and attended coaching clinics organised by Yograj Singh and Dinesh Lad before finding a permanent training base in Jaipurs Aravalli Coaching Centre, where coaches Vikas Yadav and Vijay Golada moved him to the batting group after earmarking him as a pacer. Choudharys family, including his younger sister being a Civil Services aspirant, currently live in a rented house in Jaipur. Long before Choudharys breakout time, Doru recalled a pivotal moment during the Rajasthan probables camp for the 2025/26 season serving as an indicator of his temperament. Rajasthan's selection panel named only two specialist openers in the 25-member camp - considerably insufficient for a full Ranji Trophy campaign. To address the shortfall, Doru asked established middle-order batters if they would open the batting. Opening in first-class cricket is filled with its own risks, as facing a new ball that seams and swings can derail the career of a settled middle-order player. Despite having debuted in 2023 and still finding his feet in senior-level cricket, Choudhary was the only player to immediately accept the challenge. Everyone said no, but he said, 'Yes, I am ready to do whatever you ask me to do. If you want to prepare me as an opener, I am ready to be one. I requested him only once, and he was ready to open the batting. Now think how much mentally strong he is when he said Nahi sir, mei karunga. Aap mujhe taiyaar kariye (No sir, I will do it. You prepare me for it). For a middle order batter to open the batting is one of the toughest tasks in red-ball cricket. But still he accepted that challenge and was ready to do it as per the demand of the team. I could make out that his attitude is really very good and is ready to take up any challenge or tough situation, said Doru. Doru started working with Choudhary immediately - two full months of intensive preparation covering not just power-hitting for white-ball cricket, but the technical demands of the opening role in red-ball cricket: handling the new ball, seam and swing, and adjusting to different field settings. Doru was required to present a case study at the BCCI Centre of Excellence on any batter he worked on for two months and Choudhary became his subject. Through the initial assessment and video analysis, I realised that his power-hitting game and pick-up ability to hit sixes is very good. I didnt stop that part of his game and developed more of his hitting game for T20s facing fast bowlers, handling new ball and adapting his game as per in and out field settings. I do feel due to the work done by me on him for those two months, his confidence increased and shot selection had major improvements, he said. Choudhary scored 44 as an opener against Chhattisgarh, before becoming the top run-getter in the Under-23 List A trophy amassing 617 runs at an average of nearly 103 and a strike rate of over 142, laced with 39 sixes and 34 fours. After Rajasthan lost to Jammu and Kashmir during the Ranji Trophy game in two days in Srinagar, an optional training session was arranged the following morning. Of 15 squad members, only two turned up: Choudhary and Sumit Goddar. Doru also offers an insightful technical explanation of why Choudhary hits the ball the way he does via his supple wrists, and a wonderful bat speed. Technically, he is in more of a sideways position and his shoulders are closed. When there is an incoming ball, his shoulders do not open - so he has to play that helicopter shot because he needs to open his body to play in the leg side. But his body is closed and doesnt open up and then he has to play with the wrists or the helicopter shot, which is his natural shot. In the coming times, the teams will plan to target him with balls on the feet, pads and hips because he keeps his body closed. But then the advantage of keeping his body closed is because his shoulders are also closed, he gets the full arc with the bat to hit the shots and use the helicopter shot and the wrists to hit sixes. He understands his strengths well to hit the helicopter shot and has a lot of power in his wrists. Apart from that helicopter shot, he hit a slower bouncer on the off-stump for six. Normally, people hit that over the slip via an uppercut, but he hit it over cover. Again he hit a six over extra cover on the wide yorker and that shows he read the situation well. He knows what the bowler is going to bowl according to the field. According to that, he prepares himself and thats his speciality, elaborated Doru. Doru recalled that for the last 18 months, Choudhary has practiced hitting 100-200 sixes daily, especially after noting the reality of modern T20 cricket. The aim of all players nowadays is to play IPL and only those who can hit sixes can play IPL in todays time. He practiced hitting sixes relentlessly and all of that is paying off now. If you compare him with other batters in his age group, he has a lot of strength and that is why he hits those really good sixes. Without the superb strength in his wrists and a powerful physical build, one cant hit sixes strongly, he said. In a recent report sent to the RCA, Doru wrote that Choudhary has a very good attitude, is very confident and ready to take any challenge. He is always ready to do anything and will never say no. Theres a strong conviction in Dorus voice when he says Choudhary will play for India very soon. His conviction is rooted in his rare appetite for risk - consistently volunteering for challenges others avoided and making the team win from dire situations. It is very difficult to play at number six or seven positions. If you get a finisher like this, one can go up very fast. As Justin Langer said, it is very difficult to play in those positions as you have to play till the end and hit the shots as well. Add to it, you have to manage playing with a tail-ender, which is again a very difficult part. In a recent report sent to the RCA, Doru wrote that Choudhary has a very good attitude, is very confident and ready to take any challenge. He is always ready to do anything and will never say no.
