Tamim also said that you will never come out of it if you will be focused in a particular matter only.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you obsessed in a particular issue, then you\u2019ll not come out of it because you will have always mulled over it,\u201d said Tamim Iqbal yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Rashid Khan) is good bowler and delivers his career best bowling, that\u2019s all correct but it will be very much helpful for us if we could think much about ourselves than him,\u201d Tamim told media before going to play the first match-scenario practice ahead of the Afghanistan series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.<\/p>\n
The hard-hitting batsman, who is yet to hold any talk with captain Shakib Al Hasan about the next series, said that sometimes a bit of knowledge could assist you enormously which depends on how you work in a particular day.<\/p>\n
\u201cRashid Khan in Comilla Victorians was my teammate for one month. Sometimes you may get somewhat idea about a player but it\u2019s not possible to get everything about him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s always happened, it would not be possible to perform well in IPL. It depends on the day how you read him on the wicket and how you make your plan to face him. And that\u2019s the most important thing,\u201d he also said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can be prepared myself by planning and tactical aspects but if I could not execute it in the field properly, there will then have no gain of it. It\u2019s always right that a bit or some information might help you but it depends on how you will work in a particular day and that\u2019s the main thing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The left-handed batsman considered leg-spinner Rashid Khan as the best T20 bowler, stating that they have appeared at this stage by devastating such types of challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think, his quick arm-action is the most difficult part. One thing was that he had not for the last six-month back was his accuracy. Now he is enough accurate along with successful in his attempt. He beat all world class batsmen and did well,\u201d he said of Rashid Khan.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s not that we will not play him at all. If we could apply ourselves in right way, we\u2019ll of course handle him. It\u2019ll not be right thing to focus only on player. They\u2019ve some more good players also along with good bowlers. If you focus only on a player then you\u2019ll go there with a negative mentality,\u201d he also said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo doubt, he is now the best bowler in T20. But I\u2019m sure that we have played well facing such types of challenges. Hopefully we could do in this time around,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Returning from his knee-injury-layoff after a two-month hiatus, Tamim took part in the full-fledged practice session where in he was seen batting at ease at the center wicket of the Home of cricket.<\/p>\n
Tamim side in this regard, \u201cWe had a pretty long break. Batting at net is different than batting in match. Hopefully what purpose we\u2019re batting in the match will be fulfilled. Today\u2019s match will be meaningful if we could achieve what we are motivated for.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about his target in T20, the south-paw said that the entire thing depends on in what role he was given from the team management.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll set my goal on base of what I was given my role from the team management. If I was given responsibility to decorate the innings, I\u2019ll then do it. Again, it\u2019s told me that I\u2019ve to take chance from the very initial stage, I\u2019ll since do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a responsibility among the openers what you\u2019ve to take chance. If I bat after six over, my target will then be to enlarge the innings because six to 15 overs was the most critical part of T20 cricket,\u201d he also said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf one can carry on the inning without losing more wickets it\u2019ll be better for us. I\u2019ll try to do it if I can that will be great. What I say was that I\u2019ve to take chance in the initial six overs. If I could cross the six overs then the target will be there to enlarge the innings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
