New Zealand’s premier fast bowler, Trent Boult has revealed the name of three batters who he finds very difficult to bowl to in T20 cricket. He has named T20 legend, Chris Gayle to be one of the cricketers while Kieron Pollard and the Indian opener, KL Rahul are the two other batters. The 33-year-old pacer also stated that in T20s, the batters have no hesitation while expressing themselves and that’s what excites him the most about the format.
During a recent chat with Hindustan Times, Trent Boult said, “That’s a tricky question. There are so many batters. I’ve always found (Chris) Gayle very hard to bowl to, I’ve found KL Rahul very hard to bowl to. Polly (Kieron Pollard) would be up there as well. T20 cricket is one of those games where guys are out there trying to express themselves, take the game on, no fear. Pretty exciting product, really.”
