'I have always played wherever the team wanted me to play. Team thinking has always come first.'
West Indies all-rounder Dwanye Bravo on Monday said trying out different variations is key to his success as a death bowler. "I focus on my bowing a lot because most teams that I play for in T20 cricket rely on my bowling. Yes my batting is important but they (the teams) rely on my bowling in the tough times and in death overs. Variation is key for my success. As a bowler." he told PTI. Talking about the ICC World Twenty20, the 32-year-old cricketer said the West Indies is definitely eyeing a semifinal berth from their group, which also has Sri Lanka, South Africa, England and Afghanistan. "The World Cup is always a great tournament to be in. I am very excited to be part of yet another World Cup. I was lucky enough to win one (World T20 in 2012). We lost in the semifinals in the last one (World T20 in 2014). "For us as West Indies team we want to take one game at a time and want to obviously qualify from our group and take it from there," he said.
West Indies batter Chris Gayle has indicated he isn't going anywhere and might be playing cricket despite the Windies' poor show in the recently concluded T20 World Cup.
"There has always been one point in the three games were we haven't been a better team. Losing the first three games you probably would say we can't (take positives), but we are trying to and there is no point in looking back...Because if we lose 4-5, it's going to be really tough to come back from that," he said.
Virat Kohli's tenure as captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore may have ended without an IPL triumph but the franchise will nonetheless 'celebrate' his contributions over the years, said the team's pacer Harshal Patel.
