Navdeep Saini prevented Delhi from drawing against Tamil Nadu by making the excuse of injury.

Mumbai Mumbai. Team India and Delhi fast bowler Navdeep Saini's exploits helped his team draw a draw in their Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In a video that surfaced on social media, the right-arm fast bowler was seen lying down despite the ball remaining unharmed as it went past the keeper. In the incident that came to light on social media, the bowler bowled down a short-pitched ball. After bringing the ball down, the 31-year-old walked away from the batting crease and lay down in a funny manner, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

Batting first, Tamil Nadu scored a massive 674/6 thanks to a century from Washington Sundar and a double century from B Sai Sudarshan. Narayan Jagadeesan and C Andre Siddhartha also scored half-centuries to cap off a good performance. In reply, Delhi could score only 266 runs in its first innings and came to a draw in its second innings after playing 83 overs. During a recent interview with ESPN Cricinfo, Saini talked about a lot of things; However, one fascinating thing was that he named Mohammed Shami as his idol. Talking about Shami's advice, he revealed:

“Shami bhai has always advised me not to bowl too full. He keeps telling me that I am a hit-the-deck bowler, and when I pitch the ball, the ball [साइडवेज़] It is moving. He thinks I should bowl at a length of 6-8 metres; This will prevent me from scoring runs, and I will be completely guaranteed to get a wicket. I always follow Shami bhai.”
