“He (Narine) would not bowl to batters in the nets. First, He Had No Interest In Bowling in the Nets. Secondly, He did not want to be read by batters white up Playing for another Couple of Years Later, “Bisla Reveled, Speaking on the ‘Knuckleball by ndtv‘Podcast.
“When I was wicket-keeeping for kkr, I had to request Him to bowl 12 or 13 deliveryies at me so that I could read their variations, bes i was the one who had to catch them and do a stumping. The ball beat bot the batter and myself, it would be of no use, “Bisla stated humorously.
“After He Had Bowled 10-12 Balls, I Cold Undrstand a Thing (About Narine’s Variations)!” Bisla stated.
