Punjab Kings’ Jhye Richardson
The T20 format can be unforgiving for the bowlers and Australian pacer Jhye Richardson plans to deal with high pressure situations in his maiden IPL with a “smile” before his delivery stride. A smile before starting his run up worked for him in the Big Bash League, where he ended up as the leading wicket-taker.
Richardson, 24, was bought for a whopping Rs 14 crore by Punjab Kings at the IPL auction. The pressure of a huge price tag is bound to be there but Richardson is feeling a lot better after a candid chat with head coach Anil Kumble. “I put pressure on myself [thinking about the price tag]. But I had a good conversation with Anil yesterday [on Thursday], and he said, you know, ‘we didn’t pick you up for the price tag we just picked you up for your services and what you do on the field’.
