The men in blue faced a bunch of injury concerns in the ongoing Asia Cup which has paved the way for Siddarth Kaul, who made a comeback in the squad in place of Shardul Thakur. He bowled in the nets ahead of the tournament to the Indian batsmen and was one of the standbys. He also played in England a couple of months ago and is looking forward once again now to contribute to the team’s cause.

However, Kaul was thankful to the veteran cricketer MS Dhoni for helping him out in the nets. He believed that the Mahi’s suggestions have been helpful to him in becoming a better bowler. Though it will be interesting to see if he will be included in any of the upcoming Asia Cup matches of India.

During a recent interview with the Hindustan Times, Thakur said, “I have modeled my bowling on Bhuvneshwar. It was great to have him, Dhoni and Rohit (Sharma) during nets. Those jittery times got over in England itself and I was really keen on learning about the conditions in Dubai. Dhoni is an encyclopedia of cricket. I was just following his instructions and applying them in the nets.”

Siddarth Kaul also opined that for a fast bowler, the conditions are very tough in Dubai and they will have to stay hydrated to bowl well throughout the tournament. He asserted, “One has to stay hydrated in the hot conditions in order to bowl to the best of ability. I hope to make use of that small stint in the nets during the upcoming matches.”

India is currently locking horns with Bangladesh in the first match of the Super Four at the Dubai International Stadium while Pakistan and Afghanistan are facing each other in Abu Dhabi.
