Mental aspect is more important in any sport not just cricket says Muralitharan

Mental aspect is more important in any sport not just cricket says Muralitharan

Mumbai, Jun 11 (UNI) Former Sri Lanka bowling legend Muttiah Muralitharan believes mental aspect is more important in any sport not just cricket.
“The mind is the most important in professional sport. While one can practice & train hard and hone one’s technical skills, it’s critcal to keep working to become strong in the mind.
For there will be failures, one may fail to play a shot he always backs himself to, one may not be able to bowl a ball he usually delivers, but if you keep persevering at it and keep practicing don’t give up and importantly keep believing that you can do it – definitely you will succeed," Muralitharan, who holds the record for the most wickets in Test cricket (800) said on Star Sports 1 Tamil show Mind Masters by MFORE.

Muralitharan, also explains on the show how the entire ordeal of dealing with being called no ball for his actions made him a stronger individual together with the support of his team and country.
Talking with host and former India cricketer S Badrinath on show, Muralitharan also shared how being prepared and positive helps in overcoming failures. “I used to bowl leg spin also when I was young, so I thought in case I went for tests on my action and then it doesn’t work, I’d become a leg spinner.
As for everything, even when you play cricket you should have plan A & plan B. You can’t just stick to one plan. Same with any sport. Anyday you can face a failure in your life or sport, failure is guaranteed, you will need to think about it and take it positively and move on saying tomorrow is another day,” he said.
