Rajkot: Gujarat Lions bowling coach Heath Streak conceded that his side's bowlers have not clicked in their first two games of the Indian Premier League (IPL)âu00c2u0080u00c2u0088and so it was a matter of concern for them.


"Definitely, we haven't bowl well in the first two games compared to last season. We have same bowlers who had played for us last year and done well but this time our bowlers have not clicked so far," Streak told reporters ahead of his side's match against Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS)âu00c2u0080u00c2u0088here today. Streak, a former Zimbabwe bowler, also said that missing two key all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo has disturbed the balance of his side. "Without Jadeja, without Bravo, the two key players for us, the two experience players' absence has disturbed the balance of our side in last two matches.


"Now Jadeja has come back into the team and possibly Bravo would come back in a week or so, but definitely we are looking forward to do well in bowling," Streak said.

"I think Jadeja's absence affected in a big way in terms of balance of our team, but now he has come into the team and we can look forward to other bowling options.

Jadeja is very handy with the bat in the lower order and his presence will give us to go with an extra bowler. He (Jadeja) is a flamboyant cricketer and his presence will make a difference. He is a good batsman and batting really well, so his inclusion will give us a choice to go with other options," said Streak.
