More googlies I bowl, better my leg break will be: Chahal acts on Rohit’s advice

India
won
the
match
by
six
wickets
to
take
a
1-0
lead
in
the
three-match
series
here.
“We
had
spoken
before
the
game.
The
thing
which
you
said
before
the
game,
the
thing
I
missed
in
South
Africa,
I
didn’t
bowl
more
googlies,
so
it
was
there
in
my
mind,”
Chahal
told
Rohit
in
an
interview
aired
on
‘bcci.tv’.

“The
hard-hitters
decide
that
if
the
ball
is
in
his
area,
he
will
go
for
the
shot…so
when
you
said,
‘the
more
googlies
you
bowl,
your
leg-spin
will
be
more
effective’.
I
bowled
that
to
you
in
the
nets
and
I
realised
it,”
the
31-year-old
explained.

According
to
Chahal,
when
he
was
not
in
the
national
team,
he
worked
on
changing
his
bowling
angles.
“I
changed
my
angles,
there
are
slow
wickets
here.
When
I
wasn’t
there
in
the
team,
I
pondered
on
what
improvements
can
be
made.

“I
saw
other
bowlers,
who
became
side-arm
to
bowl
on
these
wickets.
I
noticed
when
I
bowl
in
the
nets,
that
the
ball
moves
faster
and
you
need
more
wrist,”
he
elaborated.

The
Haryana-player,
who
took
his
100th
ODI
wicket
here
on
Sunday
by
dismissing
Nicholas
Pooran,
said
that
it
was
a
good
feeling
to
get
to
the
milestone.
“It
is
a
good
feeling
(to
take
100
ODI
wickets).
There
have
been
ups
and
downs
in
my
five-year
career
but
it
is
a
good
feeling
that
you
take
100
wickets
in
any
format,
which
is
a
big
thing.

“I
had
never
thought
that
it
would
happen
so
soon.
I
continued
what
I
kept
doing,”
Chahal
signed
off.
