But he shared his thoughts saying, ‘Shaheen is an aggressive bowler and he is always trying to take wickets. He ‘pitches’ the ball and swings the ball. He has the ability to get the bowler out. So the strategy against him should be to play him in the ‘straight’ and ‘V’.
Tendulkar cautioned that if the batsman makes a ‘trigger movement’, it is not necessary that the batsman should show commitment to play the shot.
He said, ‘Trigger movement is a preparation to play the ball, it is not a commitment to play the shot. If you are not showing the commitment to play the ball, it can be on the front-foot or the back-foot, but it is a ‘trigger movement’ not a commitment.’
Tendulkar said, ‘Because once you are on the back foot, you cannot come on the front foot. If you come on the front foot, you cannot come on the back foot. Trigger movement is about preparation. “Every ball will have some kind of movement and as long as there is no commitment, it is fine,” he said. Teams of India and Pakistan will start their T20 World Cup campaign against each other here on Sunday.
