ESPNCricinfo quoted Hussey as saying after the game: “I thought he (Ruturaj) was great. He was very well prepared. Him, Flem (head coach Stephen Fleming), MSD – they were there before the game. Get together and discuss tactics.’ … But I thought the way Rutu changed the bowlers … the pitch was very good. He looked clear. The message to the bowlers was also very clear. “
“So I think he’s doing a really good job at the moment; I know he’s got some good support around him, but he’s a very smart guy and a very cricket-savvy guy, you know; he understands it very well The sport. He’s also got a good team player, which also helps, but I think he’s been fantastic so far,” Hussey concluded.
The former Australia batsman is also a huge admirer of all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, with the New Zealand star giving the team an explosive start having struck out 15 balls each so far 37 balls, 46 off 20 balls. Hussey said Lacchin was trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible and the crowd gave him more energy.
“He’s just trying to soak up as much knowledge as he can. I think he does take something from the crowd as well. Yeah, once you hit a couple good shots early on, I think his confidence grows and he Believe that “I can perform on this stage and grow from there.” I think he just went out with a clear head and a good positive attitude and got off to a great start. Compared to world-class players at these levels, There’s not a lot of work to do,” Hussey said.
One of the biggest surprises of the match was the cameo of 20-year-old Sameer Rizwi, who scored 14 runs with 2 sixes in 6 balls. A key highlight was when he whipped out T20 superstar Rashid Khan for a six on the first ball of his IPL career and struck again on the fourth ball of his IPL career.
Hussey said Rizvi has natural batting ability, especially against spinners.
“Well, he’s got a lot of natural ability and natural batting ability. You know, we’ve seen that in practice, especially against spinners. I mean, he can hit it pretty far. distance and can hit the ball very cleanly,” the coach said.
“But for a young player to play in his first IPL game against arguably the best T20 bowler of all time, Rashid Khan, and bat the first one you face Ball, that’s still a big ask. I mean, it’s crazy, isn’t it? So we’re very excited for him,” he added.
Hussey said Rizvi was excited to play in front of a packed Chebauk crowd and it was his youth and fearlessness that helped him play with freedom. The batting coach praised the brain trust for promoting the budding batsman ahead of MS Dhoni.
“He’s excited to play, especially at Chebauk, with such a big crowd. I think that’s the great thing about young people, they have no fear, so they can come out and play and be completely free, right? That’s also the brain trust A little bit of genius from the team,” said the former Australian great.
“Because I think we were all expecting MSD to come out and play the last few games. But they realized he [Rizvi] He has some natural strength against spin, which is why they want to get the youngster out. And, you know, he hit two sixes at the end, which was really important for his confidence,” Hussey concluded.
Ultimately, Hussey said Fleming’s instructions were to “continue to move the game forward.”
“With the impact player rule, we basically have one more batsman and one more bowler throughout the game. So the batting order keeps getting longer. I think our MSD is at No. 8. That’s It’s crazy, you know, MSD is hitting the ball really well right now, too,” Hussey said.
“So, because we have such deep resources there, it means players will move up the order [are not] In both men’s minds, taking a positive line, they will certainly have the support of their coaches and captains and we hope you continue to work hard to move the game forward. If you get out while doing this, that’s fine. You will never be criticized for it. Frame’s talk was about playing fast. We want to continue to play fast,” Hussey concluded.
