Himanshu Sangwan stumped by surprise advice says, Bus driver told me 'bowl fifth-stump line to Virat Kohli and he'll get out'
Himanshu Sangwan, a 29-year-old pacer for Railways, has recently gained attention after dismissing cricket superstar ViratKohli during the Ranji Trophy match at ArunJaitley Stadium. Kohli, returning to domestic cricket after 12 years, was bowled out for just six runs, marking a disappointing homecoming for the former Indian captain.
The unique twist In Sangwan’s story comes from unexpected advice he received from the team bus driver before the match. The driver suggested that if Sangwan bowled at the fourth-fifth stump line, Kohli would likely edge one behind the wicket. Although this strategy is common among bowlers targeting Kohli, Sangwan opted for a different approach. He delivered a perfect inswinger that sharply turned back into Kohli, resulting in his off-stump being sent cartwheeling.
Despite his team’s overall defeat in the match, Sangwan’s performance has made headlines, and he expressed pride in focusing on his strengths rather than solely exploiting Kohli’s weaknesses. This surprising advice from an unexpected source has added an interesting layer to Sangwan’s burgeoning cricket career.
