IND-W vs WI-W: ‘Bowling stump-to-stump line helped negate dew,’ says Renuka Singh Thakur after maiden ODI five-wicket haul
The HinduRenuka Singh Thakur loves bowling in-swingers, and since her early days, she has been working hard to master the craft. At the Kotambi Stadium here on Sunday, Renuka delivered some unplayable in-swingers en route to her maiden five-wicket haul in women’s ODI, and the Indian fast bowler was glad that her hard work paid off. “It really feels good to claim a maiden fifer in ODIs because it’s hard to get wickets in this format,” Renuka said, after guiding India to a 211-run win against the West Indies in the series opener. “I have worked hard on my in-swing since my early days and I constantly hone my skills so that I can enjoy more success…” On the eve of the game, India head coach Amol Muzumdar said that dew will play a factor in the series, but Renuka and Titas Sadhu looked unbothered by dew in their spells. There’s a massive dew now, so it would have been difficult to bowl in the second half,” Deitz said, adding that losing early wickets threw his team out of the game.
