The 27-year-old leg-spinner, Hayden Walsh has been doing good in recent times who is not related to Courtney Walsh. “People, my father is not Courtney Walsh,” is what he has to keep reminding everyone. However, he has created an identity of his own, where deceptive googlies will be discussed rather than the bouncers.

“I was playing in the Canada T20 league and someone called me Courtney Walsh (laughs). So yeah. People my father is not Courtney Walsh. But I guess now they will now find out who I am and who is my father,” Walsh, who had figures of 2/28 which included the wickets of Shivam Dube and Shreyas Iyer said after the match.

He dismissed a dangerous Shivam Dube with a beautiful googly outside the off-stump which he has developed bowling to Evin Lewis and Nicholas Pooran in the nets.

“I was bowling a lot to Evin (Lewis) and Nicholas (Pooran) in the nets. I was a bit confident coming in to bowl to him (Dube),” Walsh said. “Yeah, it has been like a roller-coaster ride for me. As you can see, I have been working hard trying to find my way to the top into international cricket. Just to be here and perform in a game is just. I am over the moon.”

He credited the Caribbean Premier League as one of the reasons for his success in recent times.

“I did well in the Caribbean Premier League and it obviously caught the selectors’ eye. I bowled a lot in the nets and it helped me here,” Walsh said. “Yeah well, the main thing is more to win the series. The goal is just winning this series and to help the team do their best.”

“Yeah, I think the toss as you saw in Hyderabad, it was very important because of the dew factor. I don’t think dew was much of a factor tonight. But knowing that we were going to bowl first and we have such a strong bowling team. Once we do well, we would be able to restrict them to a good total,” Hayden Walsh added.
