Ishant: Working with Zaheer helped :
As Ishant Sharma rediscovers himself with a five-wicket haul next to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, the paceman accredited Zaheer Khan for improvement in his bowling. Ishant took five wickets at the expenditure of just 12 runs to help Deccan Chargers score an forceful 55-run win as they bundle out Kochi side for a paltry 74.
"I need to say thanks to Zaheer Khan because he told me to keep working hard on my strength. Working with him is really wonderful for me," Ishant said after earn the Man-of-the-match award for his special spell.
Asked what stirred him to come out with that kind of presentation, Ishant said, "It's not about motivation. When we were sitting in the dressing room, we thought 130 is a good total. When RP's first ball hit the gloves (of Sunny Sohal), we thought we won't mind bowling first on this track."
Winning skipper Kumar Sangakkara said he was content with the total on the board and confident of defensive that. "Once we started batting, we thought 130-140 is a competitive score. Both Steyn and Ishant were wonderful in the first six overs," he said. Sangakkara also qualified their coach Darren Lehman for instilling self-assurance in the side.
"He has a lot of common sense when it comes to cricket, nothing flash, just go out there and hit your lengths. We need to keep playing good cricket," he said. Kochi skipper Mahela Jayawardene said they knew they have to compete with fire while batting and praised Dale Steyn and Ishant for their wonderful spells.
"I thought it was a good attempt by the bowlers. We knew they had quality bowlers upfront and we had to get throughout that spell. Ishant bowled very well truthful. The pitch had a bit more group than we expected," he said.
"It is complicated to come back when you are six for five," he added.
