Shivam Mavi has had a remarkable start to his international career, demonstrating his skill with the bat and the ball in the first Twenty20 International and the second. Shivam Mavi’s international career has begun somewhat dreamily. Even though India lost the second Twenty20 International on Friday against Sri Lanka.
The 24-year-old was praised for his 15-ball 26 that gave India slim hope in an unlikely chase. He had previously made his debut in the first Twenty20 International with a four-wicket haul. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mavi has frequently demonstrated his versatility. A video of him talking about his batting is getting attention now, after his innings on Thursday.
Mavi had stated in a BCCI.tv video that he had spent the past two years working on his batting during nets sessions. In the past two years, I have focused more on improving my batting. I must have hit a few sixes in the nets for you to see.
I worked on my batting because both my fielding and my bowling were good. In the video, he can be heard saying, “It felt good.” Mavi struggled to connect on his first five throws on Thursday, so it took him some time to get going. The following over, he ended with two sixes and a four before hitting a four off the final ball of the 17th over.
The match was already out of India’s hands when Mavi finally fell off the final ball. Mavi also talked about how he made sure he fit in with the team before the first game at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. In our first practice session together, I clicked well with the team.
Everyone was in my conversation. I tried to talk to everyone even in the hotel. It worked out better for me the faster I got along with everyone. I spend a lot of time fielding, batting, and bowling in practice,” he stated.
