Christchurch: New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi has responded to the tactics used by Indian players to exchange information on the ground. Born in Ludhiana, Punjab, Ish Sodhi went to New Zealand with his family at the age of four. Sodhi explains how Team India transfers strategies when players of Indian origin are on the field. Sodhi also said that Malayali cricketer Sanju Samson once spoke in Tamil while he was on the field.
“Once Sanju Samson spoke a bit of Tamil and I got a bit confused. I was relieved because I might understand what they were saying. But things were not like that there,” Sodhi told a sports media. “I might understand what the Indian players were saying on the ground. When I started playing for New Zealand, I never expected to speak their language when I started playing once morest India. I can speak Punjabi. If you listen to Hindi, you will understand.
“But then Indian players started speaking different languages. Marathi and Gujarati confused me.” – revealed Ish Sodhi. Sanju and Ish Sodhi have played together for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
