Zeeshan Ansari credits IPL and India A exposure for leg-spin growth

Zeeshan Ansari, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, reflects on his journey after a six-year hiatus from red-ball cricket. His return to form began with a call-up to the India A squad, although it included challenges, such as conceding 76 runs in his first innings in Galle. Ansari views this experience as a learning opportunity, emphasizing the need for mastery over variations and practice with the red ball. He credits the UP T20 League for revitalizing his career, particularly after winning the Purple Cap with 24 wickets. At 26, he remains hopeful for further opportunities with his state team as selectors monitor his progress.
