IPL 2025: Saliva aids ball to reverse swing, says Mohit Sharma

Delhi Capitals, which faced defeat in the last match against Mumbai Indians, would like to bounce back in the match against Rajasthan Royals on 16 April today. The match between the two teams will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, and DC can get the benefit of having a home ground.

On the other hand, before the start of this match, the team’s experienced fast bowler Mohit Sharma has presented his side for the use of saliva in the ongoing IPL season, which was closed in cricket since Kovid epidemic. Mohit has said that its use definitely helps the bowlers to swing the ball.

Please tell that before the match against Rajasthan Royals, Mohit Sharma said- it helps (saliva). We also saw it in the last match. The first ball was used for 12 overs and the ball was a little wet as the dew started to freeze at the end of our innings. The second innings was more dew. Later, Karna bowled the ball in the 13th or 14th over, taking more turn against the ball Stubs.

Therefore, certainly the second ball that is difficult makes a difference in the game. However, by the 15th-16th over, the position of the ball becomes like the first ball. But being a bowler, there is a 100% difference. For example, if I am throwing the 14th or 15th over after changing the ball, then I will be more confident about throwing yorker because the ball is dry, it will not slip.

Mohit Sharma’s performance in IPL 2025

Well, if you inform you about Mohit’s performance in the ongoing IPL season, he has been able to get only 2 wickets in the five matches played. During this time his economy has been 9.6. It will be worth seeing that if they get a chance to play against Rajasthan today, then how are they going to perform?
