Former
Australian Cricketer and Chennai super kings Opener took the cricketing world
by storm when he first used mongoose bat in IPL 2010. The one with the long
handle and smaller surface for hitting the ball was used by Hayden against
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) to chase down a target of 186, in which
he scored 93 off mere 43 deliveries.
However
most of the players were not excited about using the bat that also includes M.S.
Dhoni in the list, the Australian legend said in a chat with TV presenter Rupa
Rumani in a video for CSK Live.
“It’s
hard to give perspective on mongoose bat, I get a lot of questions about this
product. From the players' point of they often ask how you can use half of the bat.
I remember Ms. Dhoni saying, ‘mate I’ll give you anything in life but not to use
this bat!! But please do not use this bat” Hayden said
And
I said MS I’ve been practicing with this bat for about a year and a half and I am
telling you when it hits the middle of the bat, it goes 20m further. That’s just
the fact, the ball just disappears off this thing and they go forever” he added.
“Mongoose
bat was the step in the right direction. It was a brave courageous decision to use
it. I believed it was going to make my game better, on a couple of occasions I used
it, it was fun I loved it” he further said
