Prashant Chopra: Return to form a result of not ‘hurrying for runs’

The Hindu  

Rishi Dhawan isn’t the only player from Himachal Pradesh going through a purple patch. The return to form, he says, has been aided by tweaking a particular aspect of his batting – he is no more “hurrying for runs.” “I’ve worked hard, very hard,” he told Sportstar. Prashant’s run-making at the top of the order has gone along well with Rishi Dhawan’s cameos towards the end. It isn’t a coincidence that their team has ensured a great white-ball season – both have carried their good form from the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the T20 competition, into the 50-over competition. He doesn’t think too far ahead, just about that day, and just keeps performing day in day out.” And his all-around effort on Friday got HP a berth in the final, which Prashant says is a “dream come true.” ‘Dream come true’ “As a unit, we’ve always dreamt of playing the final in all formats of cricket – be it white-ball or red-ball cricket.
