Our guest this week is Yogesh Golwalkar, first-class leg spinner who has represented, India A, Madhya Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy, Middlesex CCC and was part of the Kings XI Punjab squad in the IPL. Yogesh is a genius when it comes to the art of leg-spin bowling. Although not a big name, his knowledge gained from competing in the most competitive leagues in India is incredible. His thoughts on finding your mental rhythm and avoiding getting too analytical were game changers for me and I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this one. I truly believe the best coaches are usually the ones that have had to grind their way to the top and this is certainly the case for Yogesh.
