India Today
Kuldeep Sen took four wickets against RCB to register an important win for Rajasthan Royals, propelling them to the top of the points table.
Tearaway Indian pacer Kuldeep Sen picked four wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday, 26 April in the Indian Premier League. Sen registered his best figures in the IPL this season against the Faf du Plessis led side propelling his team to the top of the points table. Playing just his third game this season, the right armer showed his ability to hit the hard length and extract a lot of bounce at good pace.
While he is not quite as quick as Umran Malik, but has vowed to reach 150ks this season. Speaking to Riyan Parag, another Royals player that did very well in the RCB game, Sen said that he has been encouraged to bowl quick by the management and was confident of breaching the 150 mark soon enough.
"150 is on the way but I am quite close to that. I get a lot of motivation to bowl quick," Sen said.Analysing his performance from the game, Kuldeep revealed that he and captain Sanju Samson had a word with each other early in the second innings when they agreed that it was a two-paced wicket and runs would be difficult to score.
"In the back of my mind, I knew that I had to hit the hard length, besides that there wasn't a lot to be done here," Kuldeep concluded on the matter.
The current edition of the Indian Premier League has been a golden opportunity for domestic fast bowlers, who have been able to showcase their talent. The likes of Arshdeep Singh, Yash Dayal, Mukhesh Choudhary and Umran Malik have already put up strong performances and at some point in the future will come in the reckoning for the Indian team.
