Inspired by Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni's approach in middle overs: Australia women's vice-captain

By IANS English

Kolkata, April 1: Australia women's team vice-captain Alex Blackwell said on Friday that she is inspired by the way India's Virat Kohli and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni approach their game in the middle overs.

Virat Kohli and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni steered Indian innings well during middle overs


"Perhaps be inspired by someone like a Virat Kohli and an MS Dhoni and how they approach those middle overs. That is my job, to make ones into twos. Clearing the ropes isn't my game. Yes, I am a boundary hitter, more fours than sixes but then it is also about running hard between the wickets."

Asked how it is like to play the tournament alongside the men's competition, Blackwell said, "Fantastic to play alongside the men in the T20 World Cup, we have done it since 2009."
