The express pacer also talked about the art of bowling yorkers on a consistent basis and revealed that his coach taught him to bowl yorkers with a tennis ball.
“It is important to visualize while playing and small regions do not make any difference. Rather it is better to learn such tricks here, given there are a few distractions. My coach taught me how to throw yorkers with tennis balls. If you ask Bumrah, he’ll say that it is easy too,” Sreesanth has added.
