Suchith wants to take a cue from Ravindra Jadeja

Bengaluru, August 22: Karnataka all-rounder J Suchith said he wants to take a leaf out of Ravindra Jadeja's book and leave his own imprint in the cricketing world.

"He is doing very well at the biggest stage. He's the number one all-rounder. Each and every player is different from one another. Basically, you've to be good in your own way, rather than copying someone. But you can pick a leaf from his game, when it comes to both bowling and batting. But your strengths and limitations will be different from his, from every other cricketer rather. That's important to remember," said Suchith, a left-arm spinner and batsman like Jadeja.

Suchith, who will play for Mysore Warriors in this edition of Karnataka Premier League, said he has tried to improve as a bowler.

"I have specifically worked on my bowling, on spinning the ball more. I have added a few variations to my bowling. I especially worked on bowling to certain fields, certain match situations, and how to handle them better. When it comes to batting, I have to take the role of a finisher in the Mysuru Warriors team. I have been working on that, especially on a few more shots to help get the job done," said Suchith, who was acquired by Mysuru Warriors for Rs 2.5 lakh.

Suchith also stressed on the need to mentally ready for the challenges ahead.

"With every passing season, we face new challenges and you've to be prepared for them. At this level, especially when you're playing Ranji Trophy or the KPL, the mental aspect is crucial. You've to be very tough mentally when it comes to doing the different roles in the team, whether it be batting or bowling and even tactical issues. You need to be prepared to do anything the team asks for, anything to win matches, anything to win championships," he said.

Apart from Suchith, the Warriors boast of some players with rich experience in IPL. He said their presence will help the team.

"People like Karun (Nair), Shreyas (Gopal), myself, we've played at a bigger stage in the Indian Premier League, and it helps us handle the pressure really well. When it comes to the cricketing aspect, we'll be able to handle situations very well. It's going to add to the team's morale, help move things quickly and stay ahead of the game," he signed off.
