Balaji Is Grateful to Guru Wasim Akram

Kolkata, Apr 17 : Man-of-the-match Laxmipathy Balaji, today gave credit to bowling coach Wasim Akram for his impressive three for 15 run spell against Rajasthan Royals here today, and said he and his fellow pace colleagues were learning a lot from the the iconic Pakistani bowler.

The former India seamer wrecked the Rajasthan batting line up to help Knight Riders bundle out the Jaipur side for a paltry 81 in 15.2 overs after sent into bat.

"We all know what is he (Akram) capable of. Definitely it's an education for each and every member of the team. We all are learning every bit of what he does. Like how to attack and all. All these things are very important for a bowler.

The next generation of players will gain a lot (from him)," Balaji said of Akram. PTI
