Tanush Kotian reveals how Lyon and Jadeja helped his game

Following a stellar performance in the Ranji Trophy where he claimed eight wickets for 81 runs during a decisive victory over Haryana, Mumbai cricketer Tanush Kotian credited his recent bowling success to valuable advice received from seasoned international stars Nathan Lyon and Ravindra Jadeja. During his time with the Indian squad in Australia and as a net bowler in Sri Lanka, Kotian focused on refining his delivery approach and imparting over-spin, noting that Lyon specifically helped him adjust his run-up to handle extra bounce.

The all-rounder also acknowledged the unique challenge of utilizing the Kookaburra ball, pointing to developmental camps at the Bengaluru facility and earlier Duleep Trophy experiences under Ajinkya Rahane as key factors in helping him adapt his seam positions and variations.
