SunRisers Hyderabad’s New Zealand import Trent Boult said he was hoping that the Indian conditions would help him carry forward the good work he had done during the World Cup.
Boult, who bagged 22 wickets in the World Cup, was snapped up by SRH for a whopping Rs. 3.8 crore — a massive surge from his base price of 50 lakh — in the February auctions.
“Yes, the length changes I guess. I have played a few games in India and the wickets here are a bit slower. With the night games and humidity, the moisture in the air, I hope the ball swings and hopefully I get success with that. I will try and pitch the ball up as much as possible to get the ball swinging,” Boult told PTI in an interview.
Excited to rub shoulders with the best in the business, Boult said he was looking forward to share the dressing room with Dale Steyn and the Indian seamers in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Praveen Kumar and Ishant Sharma.
“Amazing, I am very much looking forward to it. Not only Steyn but also looking forward to working with the Kumars [Bhuvneshwar and Praveen] and Ishant as well. It’s so great to be playing with the heroes and sharing with them the same dressing room. Dale is a wonderful bowler with so much of knowledge. Hope he can share some of that knowledge with me,” Boult said.
