New Delhi: Learning to hold the bat was fun and so was watching balls flying for sixes but American swimming great Michael Phelps said despite the enjoyable brush with cricket on his maiden India trip, he didn’t quite foresee himself taking to the sport. One of the greatest Olympians of all time, Phelps had a fun cricket session with IPL team Delhi Capitals here today. “It was nice to see how excited the crowd was, and to see how the players shift when there is a change of ends, or a dismissal. I loved watching the sixes yesterday. I don’t think cricket is my next sport but I loved seeing the match,” the 33-year-old said. Phelps watched Delhi Capitals’ match against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday. “Today has been about getting a couple of tips from the boys, starting with how to hold a bat. So I’m sure I will be better prepared to play cricket when I visit India next,” he added. PTI
