India and New Zealand have been part of many memorable cricket matches. The New Zealand team, often referred to as the Kiwis, has a consistent track record against the Indian cricket team, making for thrilling encounters.
In one notable match, New Zealand’s Chris Cairns delivered a standout performance with his bowling. He bowled with precise line and length. Cairns’ ability to swing the ball in both directions created significant challenges for the Indian batters.
The ball was swinging both ways, making it difficult for the Indian batters to score.
According to Sachin Tendulkar, Cairns beat the Indian batters three times in a single over.
At an event, Sachin Tendulkar shared an interesting cricket strategy that he used with Rahul Dravid during the match.
Tendulkar and Dravid were facing difficulties due to the ball’s shine being unseen. Tendulkar approached Dravid with a solution.
He told Dravid, “Whichever side is the shiny side, I’ll hold the bat in that hand.” Tendulkar explained, “If he bowls an outswinger, the bat will be in my left hand; if he bowls an inswinger, it’ll be in my right hand from the non-striker’s end.”
This tactic helped the Indian batsmen regain their form, hitting cover drives to the boundary. Bowler Chris Cairns lost his rhythm and switched to a cross-seam grip. After delivering the ball, Cairns asked Tendulkar at the non-striker’s end, “What have you got for this?”
Tendulkar had already told Dravid, “If I don’t know what’s coming, I’ll hold the bat in the middle.”
