Finchy tells 'go with your gut, mate': Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa had a successful limited-overs season in 2020. He also bagged the most number of wickets in ODIs last year. The Royal Challengers Bangalore leg-spinner credits his success to Australia white-ball captain, Aaron Finch.

Zampa praised Finchy for his leadership attitude, where he put his trust in the bowlers' instincts that helped bring the best out of a leggie like him.

“Being led well as a leg-spinner is everything. You can be bowling the absolute house down in the nets and feel like you're bowling well in the game but if you've got a leader who is controlling, wants you to bowl a certain way every single ball every single time, it's just added pressure on you,” Zampa told SEN, as reported by cricket.com.au.

“With Finchy in particular, he's very communicative when I'll be bowling each game and who he wants me to bowl to but once I get out there he's just 'go with your gut, mate'. It works really, me and Finchy together,” Zampa added.

The 28-year-old has set a positive mindset and would look to perform well against the Blackcaps before shifting his focus towards the big challenge, the 2021 T20 World Cup in India. 

“As soon as you start worrying about yourself and worrying whether you're going to be on (the T20 World Cup tour) it's not the greatest of attitudes to have. I see myself on that tour. I see myself as a massive leader in this side too, so I'm going to try and do everything possible to try and get us playing the best cricket possible so that we can have success at the tournament and not just be there,” the 28-year-old concluded.
