Gujarat Titans eyes hat-trick of wins as winless Kolkata Knight Riders visits

The solution lay in going back to the drawing board. Tyagi reworked his run-up — particularly his loading phase — and made subtle adjustments to his action, in consultation with physios and coaches.

The changes, he believes, have reduced the stress on his body while allowing him to retain his natural pace.

“I had to change everything… a lot of people have said about the action, but I know that the same thing was happening again and again,” he said.

The results are evident. Tyagi is back touching the high 140s with consistency, but more importantly, with control — a combination that has added bite to an otherwise struggling KKR attack.

“Mentally, there’s no difference for me… there’s always pressure… we should try to understand the process,” he said, emphasising clarity over clutter.

“Long before, everyone knew that Harshit (Rana) bhai was injured. And there was a chance of (Matheesha) Pathirana being injured. So we prepared (accordingly),” he said.

Tyagi, who got a chance to play in the IPL after taking 11 wickets in the 2020 Under-19 World Cup but later struggled with fitness issues, said he worked on his fitness and bowling.

“When I was in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Dale Steyn was there. I was having an injury-related problem. There was an issue of shin splints, which was not getting sorted. Then I went to the physiotherapist, who had been with me from under-16 days, and did the treatment there. I made a lot of changes. I had to fix everything so that I could become a better bowler,” said Tyagi.
