One notable instance of Balaji’s prowess was witnessed during a crucial phase of a match between Thiruvarur and Tirupattur. Tasked with bowling the 18th over, Balaji exhibited his versatility by employing various techniques. He started by approaching the crease from around the wicket, delivering a deceptive ball that eluded the batter’s bat.
The subsequent delivery resulted in a single. Displaying his adaptability, Balaji swiftly transitioned to bowling over the wicket, confounding the batsman yet again. The fourth delivery stood out for its unconventional run-up, leaving both spectators and opponents perplexed. Despite the unorthodox approach, Balaji managed to concede only a single run. The final two balls of the over saw Balaji once again changing his angle of attack, alternating between around and over the wicket.
Despite the dynamic shifts, he maintained his composure, limiting the opposition to two more singles. Balaji’s ability to seamlessly switch between techniques while maintaining control and precision highlights his exceptional talent and strategic acumen on the cricket field. His performance in the tournament serves as a testament to his skill and versatility as a bowler, earning him accolades from fans and professionals alike.
