He always tells me what to bowl and what not to. All the credit for my performance so far goes to him. We have played together since U-19 days. He gives me signals from behind the wicket and I know what kind of deliveries he is asking me to bowl, then I just focus on bowling that kind of deliveries.Avesh will soon be rewarded for his best performance.
