West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd is gearing up to embrace a waiting game as he prepares to join the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite shining in the Bangladesh Premier League with Chattogram Challengers, Shepherd anticipates limited opportunities in the star-studded Mumbai Indians lineup.<\/p>\n
Shepherd, who previously played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, acknowledges the competition within the Mumbai Indians squad. \u201cI know how to wait because I have been waiting very long in West Indies and whichever team,\u201d Shepherd stated in an interview with Cricbuzz. \u201cIt\u2019s up to the franchise and whoever selects the team because they know what they need against each team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Expressing excitement about representing Mumbai Indians, Shepherd recognizes the franchise\u2019s prestige and legacy. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s a big step in my career to play for one of the biggest franchises in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to continue doing the stuff that actually made them pick me for the side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the prospect of limited game time, Shepherd remains focused on staying prepared and seizing opportunities whenever they arise. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s all about being ready, staying ready so whenever you are called upon, that you are ready,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
Known for his big-hitting prowess, Shepherd revealed his approach to training, emphasizing quality over quantity. \u201cI am not someone who goes out and hits 1000 balls,\u201d he explained. \u201cI want to feel I am where I am at the start of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his journey, Shepherd highlighted the challenges of honing his power-hitting skills while growing up. \u201cIt was something that I had to work on to hit the ball in the air, and I am still improving,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
As Shepherd prepares to join Mumbai Indians for the IPL, he remains optimistic about contributing to the team\u2019s success, ready to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
