Mumbai Indians pacer Trent Boult believes that the best way to keep yourself motivated to achieve things in life is by remaining steady in all extreme situations. The Kiwi bowler also explained why it has been easy for him to be able to deliver better in the Mumbai Indians set up, as he is clear about his role.
“I feel you can’t get too high when you are winning and can’t get too low when things aren’t going as smoothly as you want. I suppose it’s about remaining as steady as you can,” Boult said in a video uploaded by the Mumbai Indians on their official Twitter account.
Talking about his role the left-arm fast bowler said, “One of the big things that I have come to understand about my role in this franchise is to try and pick early wickets and try to get the side off to a good start.”
Boult, who was one of the best performers for the MI brigade in their title-winning campaign last year with 25 wickets in his kitty feels that IPl is one of the best platforms for players to showcase their talent.
“The way I see is that the IPL is the biggest tournament in the world. It’s an incredibly big stage to be on and I feel very lucky to be here,” said the 31-year-old.
The Rotorua born, who has 32 wickets in just 20 games for Mumbai believes that for bowlers to succeed in the shortest format, they have to keep on getting better every day.
“I was lucky to feel a little bit of success but it’s an evolving format where you need to keep getting better because guys work you out easily,” said Boult
Having won the Man of the Match award in a winning final for his team last year, boult also believes that what was achieved is now history and he and the teammates are ready to create some more memories.
“So history is history and it’s about creating some more memories and great history in this jersey and I know that guys are excited to do that,” he said.
