Young pace sensation Shivam Mavi is aiming to grab more limelight in the upcoming Indian Premier League and get into the national squad ahead of the ODI World Cup scheduled later in 2023.
The 24-year-old has come up with a special delivery this season, about which he revealed ahead of the 16th edition of the competition. Mavi confirmed that he is working on a new delivery and is 99% ready with it.
“I have planned a special delivery for this IPL, will not mention here what it is but hopefully I am able to execute it and then I will talk about it. I am at 99 per cent with it, the work is still in progress,” the pacer was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
I am backing myself to score 30-35 runs towards the end: Mavi
“The kind of cricket we played last year wherein everyone played their respective roles, similarly, this year too we would want to play our roles. But this year we also have bolstered our bench strength, we felt we lacked on this front so we worked on it,” he said.
“You would have witnessed that (lower order) batting has become very important for all teams in the last 1-2 years, irrespective of the teams whether it is your country or IPL or any domestic side. If you are able to execute 2-3 hits then it is very beneficial to your side. I am backing myself to score say 30-35 runs towards the end with the tail-end batters,” he concluded.
