Speaking to the media in Ranchi, Singh remarked Tariq is a good spinner and the Indian team needs to play him safely. The former spinner also commented that Team India should play the match with complete confidence and to the best of its abilities.
Advice Of R Ashwin
Former Indian spinner has recommended that batters should move away if Usman Tariq makes a pause before delivery. R Ashwin remarked it is a completely legal way to unsettle Tariq. Ashwin remarked that it could become a big headache for the umpires and they may issue a warning to the bowler. The spinner added that stepping away and not playing any shot could rattle the mind of Tariq. This could force him to make a quick change to his rhythm in one of the biggest games in the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup.
About Usman Tariq
Usman has taken 11 wickets at an average of 7.90 in 4 T20 matches. His bowling action has come under the scanner of many as he bowls with a sidearm action and delivers the ball after taking a brief pause. Many believe that Tariq throws or chucks the ball, which is not legal in cricket.
The Possible Scoring Plan?
Cricket experts believe that batters should play Usman’s deliveries with clean contact as well as strike rotation. Inside-out over extra cover shots are recommended if Usman overpitches. Step-out straight hits down the ground or reverse sweeps could also be excellent shots against the Pakistani right-arm off-spinner.
