In the Sher-e-Punjab T20 Cup, Trident Stallions grabbed everyone's attention with their stellar performance with a young team. The team has qualified for the semi-finals and skipper Nehal Wadhera continues to lead the way with the youngsters.
He said that Suryakumar Yadav's advice completely changed his mindset regarding the game. Nehal said that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav are the names that I always follow.
I also got a chance to play with Rohit bhai and Surya bhai for Mumbai in the IPL. Both support a lot. Surya Bhai's advice always works for me. In the IPL, I was batting with him in the second innings.
He came to me and said don't take pressure, give respect to the good ball and hit the bad ball. Don't look at the scoreboard, just thinking we are batting in the first innings.
His talk completely removed my pressure. He was batting with me when I made two fifties.
His experience came in handy for me. I felt I have learned something new and now I am sharing the same experience with the youngsters in my team.
Nehal said on the comeback of the team that we had lost two matches in the beginning, but this is a league tournament so each team had 10 matches. You always have a chance to come back and the coaching staff played a big role in that.
He held a meeting with every player and convinced everyone that he could win. The captain said that our team's batting is stronger and we are focusing more on that.
The bowling was not good in the opening matches because we have a young team. They didn't have much experience, but now our bowlers are doing well.
They don't easily give runs to the batsmen. Uday paji and Gagandeep paji have helped him a lot.
