New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi dismantled the Bangladesh batters in the second ODI yesterday to win the match for the team by 86 runs. He took 6 wickets for just 39 runs in 10 overs. However, among 6 wickets, the fifth wicket of Hasan Mahmud was the most favorite for him.

Sodhi subsequently remarked that Hasan's dismissal was especially "satisfying" because it exemplified the type of delivery he had been envisioning ever since he altered his run-up to bowl more at the wickets.

"The most satisfying wicket actually was the fifth wicket. Not necessarily because it was five wickets but I worked really hard on my run-up to bowl a fraction quicker compared to a year or two ago. That was the type of delivery that I was working hard towards. It was really pleasing to see that it got me a wicket,” Sodhi said.

Sodhi disclosed that he has been altering his run-up to guarantee that he can cause the ball to skid while also maximizing his height. “A lot of the really successful new-age legspinners are a lot shorter than what I am. They get the ball to skid to keep the stumps in play all the time. I thought that the bounce could play against me sometimes. One, they don't actually hit the stumps,” Sodhi added.

“Sometimes on slow wickets, I can sit in the wickets a little bit more. I was trying to add the skiddy sort of nature to my game by changing my run-up a year ago. Certainly not trying to neglect my height as well. I am trying to use it as much as I can.”
