New Delhi. In this season of the Indian Premier League, the youngsters have made a splash on their debut. Indian fast bowlers Mayank Yadav and Angkrish Radhuvanshi made their first match memorable with a brilliant game. West Indies’ new bowling sensation also made his debut in this tournament but this match was not good for him. Shemar Joseph of Lucknow Super Giants, who had an amazing international debut, got beaten in the first match of IPL.
On Sunday, April 14, Kolkata Knight Riders registered a strong 8-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants. After winning the toss in this match, Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer had decided to bowl first. Thanks to Mitchell Starc’s 3 wickets, Kolkata restricted Lucknow to 161 runs. Thanks to opener Phil Salt’s blazing innings of 89 runs, they won after losing 2 wickets in 15.4 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer played an unbeaten inning of 39 runs.
Bowled 10 balls in the first over on debut
Romario Shepherd, who was making his IPL debut for Lucknow Super Giants, started the bowling for Kolkata Knight Riders. The first over of this bowler, who came to play for the first time in the tournament, was very embarrassing. When captain KL Rahul handed him the ball, this bowler bowled the first 5 balls correctly but what happened after that no one would like to remember. Romario bowled 5 more balls to complete the last ball of the over.
After bowling 5 balls in this over, Romario bowled a no on the sixth ball, after which the next two balls went wide. One of these balls went for a four. The last ball of the over which was hit was hit for a six. A total of 22 runs were lost in this over and in the debut match, Romario could not take a single wicket after spending 47 runs in 4 overs.
There was a stir in Australia
In the Gabba Test match against Australia, this bowler had taken 7 wickets in the second innings. In this match, West Indies had created history by winning the match by a narrow margin of just 8 runs. This happened for the first time in a Test since 1997 when Australia lost to the West Indies at home.
