Popular Post vayuu1 Posted Tuesday at 04:33 AM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 04:33 AM (edited) Even the bus driver told me to bowl at fourth-fifth stump line to Virat Kohli': Himanshu Sangwan reveals every team member believed he'll dismiss India star Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan's life changed entirely as he dismissed Virat Kohli on his return to Ranji Trophy after more than 12 years. Sangwan sent the offstump for a walk and led to an exodus of Kohli fans from Arun Jaitley Stadium. Days after the dismissal, Sangwan revealed that everyone believed that he would get Kohli out. Considering Kohli's troubles outside off-stump of late, the team's bus driver told him to bowl at the fourth-fifth stump line to the 36-year-old. "Before the match, there were talks about Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant going to play for Delhi. At the time, we didn't know that the match would be aired live. We slowly learned that Rishabh Pant wouldn't play, but Virat would, and the match would be streamed live. I am leading the Railways' pace attack. Every team member told me that they thought I would dismiss Virat Kohli," Sangwan told HT. The bus in which we were travelling, even the bus driver told me that you know that you need to bowl at the fourth-fifth stump line to Virat Kohli, and then he will get out. I had self-belief. I just wanted to focus on my own strengths rather than someone else's weaknesses. I bowled to my strengths and ended up getting the wicket," he added. Sangwan's meeting with Kohli in dressing room The senior India batting pro lauded Sangwan for bowling him through the gap between bat and pad. However, Sangwan said that he did not formulate a specific plan for the former India captain. He also recalled his meeting with Kohli in the dressing room. "There was no specific plan for Virat Kohli in general. The coaches told us that the players from Delhi like to play attacking cricket. They are all stroke players. We were told to bowl a disciplined line," said the 29-year-old. When our innings ended, I was going to the dressing room and Virat Kohli was coming to the field. Ayush Badoni and Virat were there. Virat Bhaiya himself shook hands with me and said, 'Very well bowled'. He told me that I was bowling well. I then told him I wanted to take a picture with him during the lunch break. I went to Delhi's dressing room. I took the same ball with which I got him out. He even asked me whether it was the same ball. He then said jokingly, 'Oh teri ki. Maza aa gaya tujhe toh'," he further added. Sangwan ended the season as Railways' second-highest wicket-taker. He claimed 18 wickets from seven games at an average of 24.27 including a five-wicket haul. Edited Tuesday at 08:09 AM by vayuu1 Texan, rollingstoned, nevada and 14 others 17 Link to comment

Gollum Posted Tuesday at 10:41 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:41 AM 4 hours ago, New guy said: Forget that, some other bus drivers will get stones thrown at their bus Unfortunately you may be right. These so called fans are capable of doing anything. Gutter cockroaches who can send rape threats to little girls can do anything. And these superstars are well aware of this kind of behavior, but choose silence. You really think our players don't know what Gill's sister had to go through just because Gill made a superior 100 and stole limelight from Kohli in an IPL game? She even travels with the team often and gets clicked with other players as well as WAGs in overseas tours. Why can't Kohli, MSD, Rohit issue a condemnation tweet? That will at least emboldened a section of their fans to call out the monsters. What are they afraid of? That same fans will turn on them as well? Or they secretly enjoying? raki05, Ultimate_Game, New guy and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
