Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) off-spinner Shreyanka Patil said that she has always aimed to be a \u201cwicket-taking\u201d bowler for her team after taking her first fifer in the WPL to guide RCB to a victory against Gujarat Giants (GG) in the ninth game of the ongoing season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking after the match with the broadcaster, she explained the process she went through to achieve her goal: \u201cI am a wicket-taker bowler. I\u2019ve always said that because the drift I get, the turn I get and the bounce I get is something I\u2019ve not seen much. I\u2019m giving a lot of credit to myself. I don\u2019t know why. But yeah, I think I\u2019ve worked towards it. I just didn\u2019t want to be a containing bowler. I wanted to be a wicket-taking bowler and be that impactful bowler for the team in any given situation, be it the powerplay, be it the middle-overs or the death because I\u2019ve prepared so well in any given phase of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shreyanka got her first wicket on the last ball of her first over when she trapped Beth Mooney LBW. She again trapped Kanika Ahuja LBW when Kanika tried to flick and missed the ball. Kashvee Gautam was caught off her bowling at long-on in her next over. She then removed Tanuja Kanwar and Renuka Singh in her final over to complete the five-wicket haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know that I\u2019m looking to get wickets. So yeah, again, going back to practice, the scenarios I have played, the match-based scenarios, bowling against boys, getting hit, learning from them. I mean, it\u2019s just a whole lot of hard work,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After missing the last WPL season due to an unfortunate injury, it has been a fantastic comeback so far for Shreyanka. With eight wickets to her name already, she is the joint highest wicket-taker. She will be in action for RCB when they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Navi Mumbai on January 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
