“Some teams have started using the spin option” – Mohammad Kaif discusses RCB’s strategy
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif highlighted that teams have deployed leg-spinners such as Rahul Chahar and Rashid Khan to contain MS Dhoni’s scoring in the death overs. He suggested that RCB might consider employing a similar strategy by using Karn Sharma.
However, Kaif expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of this tactic and cautioned against its potential drawbacks. Speaking on Star Sports, Kaif stated:
“Some teams have started using the spin option. They are bringing Rashid Khan or Rahul Chahar in the 19th or 20th over in front of Dhoni. The tactic has worked to a certain extent but I believe Karn Sharma won’t be able to do that job. Karn Sharma’s problem is that he wasn’t given chances to play regularly earlier.”
He added: “He will be under pressure that he is unable to make his place in the XI. He has bowled well in the last few matches but don’t give the 19th or 20th over to Karn Sharma.”
“He will be under pressure and Dhoni will dominate. He can hit five or six sixes in an over. Only proper bowlers who are in rhythm and have confidence and form can save you from Dhoni’s havoc.”
