Kolkata Knight Riders’ 18yearold Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored an impressive 27ball 54 in his team’s 106run win over Delhi Capitals here on Wednesday, said that his practice translated into the innings he ended up playing.
“I think the way we’ve been practising for the past few weeks, that’s gotten me to playing at a good level. And that’s how it basically happened.
“I didn’t really have to think too much when I went to bat the way my coach Abhishek Nayar has made me practice. I just backed my instincts and I trusted that what I did at the nets was enough.
“He has made me face tough circumstances during practice, so I think nothing will feel that tough in a match. Lots and lots of practice. If I keep doing that during, then it will come off in a match,” he said in the postmatch press conference.
Speaking about Nayar’s influence on his batting, he said: “He has helped me in every way — the way I think about the game, the way I work towards the game, the things I eat and the way I train. He’s basically been my guru and my mentor in everything, and that’s my relationship with him. I have learnt a lot from him.”
