LLC increased demand for retired players: Praveen Kumar

Published on: 

Bowler Praveen Kumar, who reached Ranchi to play for Manipal Tigers in the ongoing Legends League Cricket at JSCA International Stadium, while talking to reporters, said that the leagues held in India are very competitive and performance matters for the team. Only then you can be in the team in the playing eleven. Also, he said that Legends League Cricket has also increased the demand of players like him who have once earned a lot of name in international cricket and later have to face mental stress when they do not get a place in the Indian cricket team. For players who once played a leading role in the country's team, sitting idle is no less than a punishment. In such a situation, Legends League Cricket has created an important platform for players like him. It has also been possible to meet senior junior players.

Regarding the win with Gujarat Giants, he said that both the teams were tied till 16 overs and his Manipal Tigers had a clear strategy that victory could be achieved only by bowling out the opposition team. Since Harbhajan Singh is a big player and such players know how to win in which conditions, even if there is dew, it is difficult to keep the ball in grip, yet Bhajji won the match with the right strategy. Praveen Kumar also praised the bowling of Awana and Thisara Perera in the final over.
