My Game Is To Find The Gaps And Stick To Cricketing Shots- Tamim

Fortune Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal said that playing to his strength is helping him to earn success in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League T20 tournament.

When asked whether Tamim was tempted to play over aggressively seeing his partners going after their opponent bowlers in such murderous manner, the left-handed batsman begs to differ.

“No no (wasn’t tempted to play aggressively) as that’s his( Mayers) game,” Tamim told during the presentation ceremony.

“This is my game to find the gaps and stick to cricketing shots. I think I should not look to go outside my strengths so that was what I was trying to do. Fantastic innings by Kyle, actually bat and ball both,” he said,

“Yes, looking at the wicket, it looked better than the other one but especially in Mirpur early in the game, you will have something for the bowler. First couple of overs it was a little tacky and we used it nicely,” he said adding that he is not losing his sleep over his opponents as the loser of the qualifier between Rangpur Riders and Comilla Victorians will take them in the second qualifier at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on February 28.

“Both the teams are quality teams and if we reach final we have to play both of them so I don’t mind whoever comes. We should only concentrate on our good things and what we are doing right or doing wrong and see who come on 28 th,” he said, who is the leading run scorer of the tournament with 443 runs in 13 innings at average 36.91 and a strike rate of 125.49.
