Warne told me to bowl with a big and brave heart: Leg-spinner Sandeep

Mumbai : Delhi Capitals’s up-and-coming leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichanne has received advice from the master of the craft, Shane Warne, who asked him to bowl with a ‘big and brave heart’.
Lamichanne, who is a huge fan of Warne said that he wants to follow the example of the Australian legend.
“I have always admired and idolised Shane Warne the most, and fortunately for me, IPL has given me the chance to meet him. I met him last season where he gave me certain tips to improve my bowling, which also gave me a huge boost in my career.”
“However, I believe, that the most important advice that he gave me was to make sure that I bowl with a big and brave heart,” Lamichanne said.
The 18-year-old Lamichanne believes that the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League will provide him with a great opportunity to shine against the world’s best.
The Nepali bowler, who will represent the franchise for the second year running, spoke after the Delhi Capitals’s second friendly T20 match on Wednesday.
Coming off an impressive Big Bash League season in Australia, Lamichanne said keeping things simple and working hard have been the keys to success for him.
“It is sometimes a struggle to not be playing competitive international cricket or not playing at all when I go back home. But whenever I get the opportunity to play in such leagues, I like to keep things simple and I know that I have to work hard because I don’t get these facilities in Nepal.”
“So whenever I have the chance to play here in IPL and in other leagues, I only focus on performing to the best of my abilities,” said Lamichanne.
