He (Morne Morkel) worked with me in developing a slower delivery and tweaked my run-up a bit — Shivam Dube, India's all-rounder
-
DUBAI: His bowling role is restricted in the IPL due to the 'Impact Player' rule but Shivam Dube aspires to be a full-fledged all-rounder for the Indian team backed by head coach Gautam Gambhir and helped by bowling coach Morne Morkel.
Having scalped 3/4 in two overs in the opening Asia Cup game against the UAE on Wednesday, Dube spoke about the role played by Morkel in his improvement as a seam bowler.
"Morne has been working with me since I came back into the Indian team for the England series. He has given me certain specific advice and I worked on them," Dube told mediapersons after India's nine-wicket victory.
"He told me to bowl a line that is slightly outside the off-stump. He also worked with me in developing a slower delivery and tweaked my run-up a bit. The head coach and the skipper had told me that my bowling will have a role to play."
