In 2010 [2012] when Pakistan came to India, Junaid Khan bowled really well, even though we had players like Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni. But Junaid dismissed them all. So I became his fan and tried to copy his run-up,&#8221; Chetan told CricTraker in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you noticed, he used to take a small jump before approaching the crease. I wanted to bowl just like him, but couldn\u2019t copy his entire action. In the attempt to copy his action, my own action got formed. However, I did copy the jump!&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>It must be noted that Junaid took 4\/43 in 9 overs in the first ODI at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. It is considered as one of the best new-ball spells of Indo-Pak matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Karachi: Chetan Sakariya, who represents Saurashtra in India&#8217;s domestic cricket, revealed that Pakistani pacer Junaid Khan inspired him when Green Shirts toured India in 2012. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=57440\" title=\"Junaid\u2019s spell in Chennai inspired me, i tried to copy him: India\u2019s Chetan Sakariya\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57440"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57440"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57442,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57440\/revisions\/57442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
