The all-rounder highlighted how that advice from MS Dhoni changed his mindset.
He said,"I think this was in 2017, and ever since then, I haven’t thought of myself as an all-rounder. While I’m bowling, I see myself as a pure bowler, and while batting, I think of myself as a pure batsman, trying to add value in both departments. And turning the ball has definitely helped me as a bowler because there is always an uncertainty in the minds of the batsmen, be it a right-hander or a left-hander,” explained the Jharkhand based all-rounder.
Utkarsh Singh is making his IPL debut after the Punjab Kings purchased his services for 20 Lakhs at an auction earlier this year. The all-rounder has yet to make his first appearance for Punjab, and it remains to be seen if he will be able to break into the playing XI this season.
The Punjab Kings will battle the Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
