NEW DELHI: In cricket, especially in the shortest format of the game, every run is important, so is every dot ball. Sometimes a single run could be the difference between winning and losing, triumph and defeat.
Bowlers practice for hours just to get their lines and lengths right, but modern batters are almost always on the move - always looking to create space to play innovative shots to beat the fielders. Shuffling across the stumps and moving laterally across the crease to disturb the concentration and momentum of the bowler in search of quick runs, has become extremely commonplace in modern day limited overs cricket, especially in T20s.
