CHENNAI: Think Chepauk and as a seam bowler, you think cutters and slower ones. Naveen-ul-Haq did exactly that on Wednesday night, and quite effectively at that, picking up three of his four wickets by taking the pace off. But Akash Madhwal had other ideas.
The 29-year-old from Uttarakhand has been trained by his state coach Manish Jha to “just bowl fast and not worry about leaking runs”. Akash has imbibed that philosophy wholly and backs his skills wherever he goes.
