Kolkata, April 18: Kolkata Knight Riders’ pacer Laxmipathy Balaji credited bowling coach Wasim Akram for his resurgence, saying the iconic ex-Pakistan captain is passing all his tricks of the trade to him.
Balaji took an impressive three for 15 against Rajasthan Royals here last night to help Knight Riders bundle out the visitors for a paltry 81 in 15.2 overs after being sent into bat.
“We all know what is he (Akram) capable of. Definitely it’s an education for each and every member of the team. We all are learning every bit of what he does. Like how to attack and all. All these things are very important for a bowler.
The next generation of players will gain a lot (from him),” Balaji said of Akram after KKR’s eight-wicket triumph.
