WPL | I get wickets with the googly because batters can’t read it: Priya Mishra

The Hindu  

Priya Mishra slots into the archetype of a modern-day leg-spinner favouring the bustling nature of the white-ball formats. All of 20 years old, the diminutive bowler from Delhi likes to home in on the stumps and deceive batters with a well-masked wrong ’un as opposed to giving her leg-break a mighty rip. “I get wickets with the googly because batters can’t read it,” Priya told The Hindu, an impish grin lighting up her face, on Wednesday. “I do try to bowl leg-breaks as much as possible so that batters focus on that delivery and aren’t ready when I bowl the googly.” Idol Priya, of course, is in the process of learning the tricks of her hard-to-master craft.
