“The hard-hitters decide that if the ball is in his area, he will go for the shot…so when you said, ‘the more googlies you bowl, your leg-spin will be more effective’. I bowled that to you in the nets and I realised it,” the 31-year-old defined.

According to Chahal, when he was not within the nationwide crew, he labored on altering his bowling angles.
“I modified my angles, there are sluggish wickets right here. When I wasn’t there within the crew, I contemplated on what enhancements will be made.
