Kiwi batsman Phillips broke Varun Chakraborty’s bowling.New Delhi. It is very difficult to understand any mysterious spinner but New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips is fast emerging as one of the few batsmen who has solved this mystery at least to some extent. In the first T20 International against India here on Wednesday, the New Zealand all-rounder caught people’s attention not only with his explosive batting but also for his precise way of facing spinners like Varun Chakravarthy.
Phillips faced Varun Chakraborty boldly in the first match and hit some brilliant shots against him. He said that he was successful against this bowler only due to balance, correct position of the head and getting maximum information while throwing the ball. “He’s very difficult to understand,” Phillips told reporters after the match. He bowls very good length and pace and for me personally, it is important to get into the right position, keep my focus in the right place and assess the correct position of his hands as much as possible.
Phillips broke Chakraborty’s maze
Gleam Phillips, who played an innings of 78 runs on just 40 balls in Napur, said, everyone plays differently and on pitches where the ball rotates more, it becomes even more difficult and the kind of pitch we played on in Nagpur did not have much turn, that is why playing on this type of pitch sometimes becomes easy but despite this, it is not easy to face the ball. I think everyone has to find their own way to deal with it. Phillips faced nine balls from Varun in which he scored 19 runs including two sky-high sixes and played only one dot ball.
Stopping Abhishek is a big challenge
Phillips was also asked whether fast bowlers like Lockie Ferguson or Matt Henry would have been better options to stop Abhishek Sharma, who had given India a blazing start at the top of the order. Phillips said, ‘It is a difficult question and what I mean to say is that he has done this against the most dangerous fast bowlers in the IPL, sometimes when a player is in such form you try to put the ball in the best place and hope that he makes a mistake.
