During a recent chat on Star Sports, Lara said, “I think he is a major asset for the Delhi Capitals, but today he has also vastly improved his game. I am talking about his batting and the improvements he made in that department. Also, look at his run-scoring chart and that’s quite a proof of that fascination he has with the on-side. I think he has come to the realization that this is not working and he went away and worked on improving his off-side play.”
Talking about the changes made by Risbah Want on his off-side game, Lara said that now the youngster has the capability of scoring runs on all parts of the ground. He feels that Risabh’s scoring charts are looking impressive, and it can be worrisome for the bowlers. \
Explaining the same, Brian Lara said, “He is now very well balanced and he is looking to score in key areas that he is not accustomed to scoring over extra cover, over point, in front of the point and his balance and his weight is staying there, he is not falling over to the off-side to create shots on the leg side. That is a vast improvement that he has made, which obviously going to help his all-round batting. I believe this young lad has a long-long way to go.”
