Bowling is all about mindset: Wasim Jaffer

However typically it’s important to be courageous and have to take wickets. For those who give away solely 20 runs in 4 overs however don’t take a wicket, different bowlers can get hit as properly. He ought to decide a few wickets like Kuldeep Yadav has performed and it may well assist the staff to limit 10-15 runs shorter,” Jaffer added.
