Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that he isn’t worried about the prospect of bowling to Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell ahead of Chennai Super Kings’ IPL 2019 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders.
“I have been playing 20 years at the top level and taken a few important wickets, so it doesn’t matter. Never have I bowled looking at the face of the batsman,” Harbhajan told TOI.
“Till I last knew, they pick me to get these batsmen out. Why should I be worried about Russell, or for that matter, anybody else?”
Asked about what he has been doing differently this season, Harbhajan said going back to his old run-up and banking on his experience have been key to his form.
“I have gone back to my old run-up and coming in from an angle instead of the straight run-up that I was trying in the last few years. The energy in the run-up is more. And don’t forget, experience too plays a huge part.
“You can’t buy experience in the market, it’s something that you acquire by playing. The rest is about keeping yourself fit and doing the right amount of training.”
