Swing bowling afflicts batsmen around the world under conditions in England. When the weather is favorable, the fast bowlers here will prove even more dangerous. In the second Test between India and England, which starts at Lord’s from August 12, Team India batsmen will also face this test. The Lord’s ground is considered a haven for fast bowlers and the ball moves a lot in the air. In such a situation, one must bat against the swing bowling and stand outside the crease and break it. India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar has commented on this.

Talking to Indian Express, Tendulkar said, “Yes, it works. What you usually do is tell the bowler that you are standing outside the crease so the bowler has to change his ball release point. If you stand outside the crease, you have to protect the middle stump, not the leg-stump. The longer you are outside the crease, the longer you go off-stump.

Sachin said he could not sleep well before the match in his career days. He said, ‘If you take care of something, you will be restless about it. Because I loved cricket and wanted to do well whenever I went to the field. In the first 12 years of my career, I will say that I did not get enough sleep before the match. I was constantly thinking about how I deal with the bowler, how he bowls, what my choices are. I was constantly thinking like this and the battle with sleep was on. When I couldn’t handle it, I began to accept it. I accepted that this way my body and mind were ready to adapt. Doesn’t matter and I don’t need to fight. I admit it, I was told that it didn’t matter until 12:30 or 1am, watching TV, listening to songs or whatever I did. It is necessary to embrace something.
