Sanju Samson Advised on Pull Shot Technique Against Jofra Archer
In a recent discussion, former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu offered crucial advice to Sanju Samson ahead of the T20I series against England. Given the challenges Samson has faced with his batting technique, Rayudu suggested he should avoid playing pull shots against the fast bowler Jofra Archer and instead focus on other bowlers during the match.
Current Series Status
As it stands, India leads the five-match series 2-1. However, both Samson and captain Suryakumar Yadav have struggled to find form at the crease. Rayudu noted that while it’s not a significant concern, Samson must adapt better to Archer’s bowling style.
Rayudu’s Insights on Batting Technique
Rayudu explained, “Survive one spell and then you can hit the other bowlers. No fast bowler is giving pace to Surya, and there was no pace and bounce in the wicket as well.” He emphasized that Suryakumar needs to spend more time at the crease to understand the bowlers’ strategies and adjust accordingly.
Rayudu also pointed out that Samson’s issues stem from a technical flaw in his batting approach. “It’s just a technical flaw because he is trying to make room. When your back leg goes towards the leg stump, your arms don’t open up when you try to play the pull,” he stated. Rayudu believes that by focusing on the basics, Samson can improve his performance against pace bowling.
Conclusion
As the series progresses, the Indian team will look for both Samson and Suryakumar to step up their game. With Rayudu’s expert advice, fans are hopeful that the players will adapt and shine in the upcoming matches. For more insights and updates, visit Looffers.com.
