Thakur, who has been regularly training at the MRF Pace Academy and also had sessions with Aussie great Glenn McGrath, told PTI: “I have been fortunate to have interacted with McGrath sir a couple of times at the academy.
He gave me some invaluable tips on channel bowling and using subtle variations. My strength is bowling out-swingers.”u00a0
