NEW DELHI: India U19 pacer Henil Patel credited former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn as his inspiration behind his match-winning performance against the USA at the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Patel delivered a match-winning spell of 5 for 16 against the USA on Thursday as India cruised to a six-wicket win and began their U19 World Cup campaign in style. Patel said that growing up, Steyn was his favourite bowler, and he attempts to copy Steyn’s bowling style.
“What I get from Dale Steyn is that I like his aggression a lot, ” Patel told ICC Digital. “His bowling was so good that there was no batter who could play against him easily because he was so tough to face.”
