Yuzvendra Chahal has built a reputation of being an efficient T20 bowler in the IPL, but making Haryanas first XI in the Ranji Trophy was a struggle until recently. He debuted in 2009, but its only now that hes finally getting game time, because the sides two frontline spinners - Amit Mishra and Jayant Yadav - are away on national duty. The legspinner has grabbed the opportunity and is currently the third highest-wicket taker in the tournament with 26 scalps.The responsibility of being the frontline spinner is a good thing because I was mostly branded as a one-day and T20 bowler, he tells ESPNcricinfo. It was challenging at the start, but there was a lot of self-belief because I have done well from the IPL (he was Royal Challengers Bangalores highest wicket-taker this season) to the Zimbabwe tour with the Indian team. The confidence that comes with playing for India shows in your performance. It is also satisfying to deliver for your captain, coach and the team in the absence of our two big spinners.At the IPL, Chahal has largely been used as an attacking option by Virat Kohli, and he has delivered most times. At the domestic level, however, his challenges have been to remain consistent through the course of long spells, something he hasnt been used to, but has learnt on the job. Former India legspinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan said on commentary recently that Chahal was among the countrys best legspinners, and praised Chahal for not overdoing his variations. Chahal attributes the disciplined approach to greater maturity and awareness.Its about my line and length again. When you bottle up the scoring, you put pressure on the batsmen because he has to score runs ultimately, Chahal, who has played three matches or more in a season just once, in 2011-12, explains. You have to continuously keep bowling on a spot. There comes a time when you know that the batsmen is about to try something, and thats when you use your variation and try to deceive him.You cant try too hard for wickets in [multiple] days cricket because your patience is constantly tested here. For your part, you need to test the batsmens patience. First, I need to patiently settle down into a good line and length in my first spell, and then try my variations. Often you go wicketless for 20 overs, but by the time you come to the end of your spell you have five wickets in 30 overs.Chahal calls IPL 2014, where he picked up 12 wickets from 14 games, a turning point in his career. He followed up that season with 23 wickets in 2015. This season, he was the tournaments second-highest wicket-taker behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In the IPL, I go for wickets a lot more. If you see, I have been hit for two big sixes, but Ive come back to get the batsmen out, he says. Leg-spinners are by nature wicket-taking bowlers, and that was what I was told to do by my coaches there, although tactics depended on the games situation as well. Chahals is a classical action. He hasnt been intimidated by the small boundaries at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where his franchise plays its home games, and has instead derived satisfaction at picking wickets despite the obvious disadvantage. Its not really about the ground, he says. If you bowl well then regardless of the size of the ground you will get wickets, if you bowl badly it will go for a six.When somebody hits me for a six I dont look to bowl faster. My strength is to induce the drive by flighting the ball. Virat [Kohli] bhaiyya would support me a lot on the field. It wasnt like he would get flustered when you are hit for a six; the way he saw it was if the ball went for a six it went off a good ball with the batsmen playing a good shot.Much of his confidence, he says, is a product of bowling to the likes of Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shane Watson and Chris Gayle in the nets. Frequent conversations with them have helped Chahal get an insight into the minds of world-class batsmen. Often when you plan what to bowl to them and when they arent able to hit you then you know this length is right, he says. They would keep telling me if I had to shorten my length or flight the ball more or less. Whenever I bowled to Gayle I would bowl well wide outside off, and work out that if he isnt able to hit me then I can try this against Warner and the likes.Chahal is also grateful to coach Daniel Vettori for his technical guidance. During the IPL, he would immediately tell me when my body was falling over or if my stride was getting longer or if I was rushing through my run up, he says. Even recently when I was playing the KSCA tournament I told him about the one or two no balls I bowled. He told me either my stride was getting longer or I was running a touch faster. I communicate with him on Whatsapp all the time.During the IPL I would watch videos with Vettori sir, Allan Donald sir and Bharath Arun sir and find out a batsmans strong areas. If somebody plays well through the covers, the idea is to not let him bowl a drive-able length, and for a batsman who sweeps well we would set fields accordingly.As a result of constantly engaging with the games greats, Chahal says there was not much nervousness when he made his international debut in Zimbabwe. He did himself no discredit with six wickets from three ODIs, including a man-of-the-match in his second game, and finished with three scalps in as many T20Is. Chahal says the bonding within the Indian camp made learning a lot more fun.Mahi bhai [MS Dhoni] would come and we would all play FIFA together [on the Playstation]. Then we would all gather together for dinner and order food from Indian restaurants, he says. We also went to watch a movie. So it was a pretty good thing, because we were together not only on the field, but also off it.Bonding aside, what has he learnt from Dhoni? Mahi bhai reads both the pitch and the batsmen very well from behind the stumps, he says. If I bowled short, he would tell me I could bowl outside [off stump] and vary my pace a bit. If he spotted something he would alert me, yeh batsman kuch karne waala hai abhi (The batsman is going to try something now). If I bowl four to five balls well he would say yeh achcha hai, chalne do (this is good, dont try anything else).Chahals long-term ambition is to play Test cricket, but is aware of the need to turn in consistent performances over a length of time. There will be lean patches, but it is important to recover from it quickly, he says. This is in some ways my first season and I hope I can perform well and take Haryana into the Elite division [Groups A and B]. Thats my primary focus for now.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Running back Reggie Bush wasnt going to let a freak accident on the concrete surface ringing the Edward Jones Dome field in St. Louis end his career.Declaring his surgically repaired left knee 100 percent, Bush eagerly looked forward to the opportunity of playing an 11th NFL season -- and on his fifth team -- after signing a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills on Monday.Im in shape. Im full strength. Im ready to go, Bush said during a news conference at the Bills training camp facility in suburban Rochester. It feels good to be back on a team and back to playing football.The 31-year-old Bush has reason to be upbeat some nine months since tearing his meniscus ligament in St. Louis. It happened while he was pushed out of bounds while returning a punt and lost his footing on the concrete before sliding into the padded wall of the stands.I thought my career could be over. Those were my initial thoughts, he said.Instead, Bush joins a Rex Ryan-coached, run-first-oriented offense that led the league in rushing last season, and a team with a hole to fill in its return game.Bush expects to take part in practice Tuesday, and estimates itll take him no more than a week to become accustomed to his new surroundings, teammates, coaches and playbook.I guess the good thing is Ive been around long enough where Ive pretty much been through every offensive system possible, he said.Bush traveled to Buffalo to take a physical in the morning and then met with Bills officials at training camp before signing his contract.We are always looking to improve our roster, general manager Doug Whaley said. We had targeted Reggie because we feel a player of his caliber can help us in a variety of areas.The question is how much Bush has left in him after injuries hampered much of his career since being selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2006 draft. Bush has played 16 games in a season just twice and been limited to playing 29 games over the past three years.The competitor in me says forever, but realistically, I dont know, Bush said, when asked how much longer he thinks he can play. Im just happy to be back to football. And after this season, and granted that Im able to stay healthy, Ill make a decision after thaat.dddddddddddd.When healthy, Bush is a dynamic threat as a rusher, receiver and returner. Hes topped 1,000 yards rushing twice, most recently in 2013, when he had 1,006 yards in 14 games with Detroit.When adding in his production as a receiver, Bush has surpassed 1,000 yards from scrimmage five times in a career that began with New Orleans and included a two-year stint in Miami.Bushs versatility fits several Bills needs, including special teams.Buffalo lacked a return specialist last season and failed to address the need this offseason.Hey, lets be honest, thats somewhere we want to be better at, Ryan said, assessing Buffalos return game after practice Monday. That certainly wasnt our strength last year.Bush has been used mostly as a punt returner. His best season came in 2008 with New Orleans, when he returned 20 punts for 270 yards and scored three of his four career touchdowns.He can also provide experienced depth behind LeSean McCoy.Backup Karlos Williams will miss the first four games of the season after the NFL suspended him for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy.The remainder of Buffalos backfield is made up of mostly unproven players, including Mike Gillislee, Daniel Herron and James Wilder Jr., the son of former Buccaneers fullback James Wilder.Theres also rookie fifth-round pick Jonathan Williams, who faces potential discipline after being arrested in Arkansas two weeks ago on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated.Bush said hes had no previous relationship with McCoy, but is eager to build one.Im a fan, Bush said. I think its going to be pretty cool to have both of us back there making some plays.The Bills also signed free-agent receiver Kain Colter, who has yet to play an NFL game since completing his college career in Northwestern in 2013. In four college seasons playing quarterback, Colter combined to score 50 touchdowns, with 18 of them passing, four receiving and 28 rushing.To make room on their roster, the Bills released receiver Davonte Allen and kicker Marshall Morgan.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Hoodies Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
