Shane Watson made the remark for the LSG team ahead of DC’s next clash.
Match 15 of the Indian Premier League 2022 will witness Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on 7th April. LSG will be confident after a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last outing, while DC is coming into this game after a loss against Gujarat Titans (GT).
“Having quality all-round options is a huge advantage to the captain, there’s no doubt. If one of the main bowlers is having an off-day, you can mix and match your bowlers, try to limit the damage,” Watson told Hindustan Times at a media interaction ahead of the LSG-DC clash.
“Krunal Pandya has bowled really well, and so did Deepak. Jason Holder was a huge inclusion in the last game for LSG. So, there’s no doubt that having all-around bowling options plays a part.” Watson added.
However, Watson concluded the response on this topic by stating that too many bowling options can be a big headache for the LSG captain KL Rahul, and it will be a little difficult to decide who will bowl a particular over, and clarity of thought will be missing.
“But at the same time, you can’t also have too many bowling options. It can be difficult to decide how you’re going to give everyone a go. It’s great to have plenty of options but sometimes, it can provide a big headache for the captain. But at the moment, they have all the bases covered,” Watson concluded.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals will look to find contributions from their all-rounders like Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, and Lalit Yadav, who helped the team secure a victory in the first league match against Mumbai Indians.
