IPL 2024: Many colors are being seen in IPL 2024. So far 47 matches have been played and this tournament is now moving towards the last stage. This season, while some new players made a splash, some also disappointed. Among the disappointing players is a 19-year-old player from Delhi Capitals, who got a huge bid of Rs 7.2 crore in the auction, but when he came on the field of Eden Gardens against Kolkata Knight Risers, he proved to be a flop.
This 19 year old player could score only one run on 3 balls in the first match. This batsman could not do anything when the team needed it the most. We are talking about Kumar Kushagra, who was surprised by Delhi Capitals by bidding Rs 7.2 crore in the auction. However, fans are hopeful that Kumar will do something great in the next match.
This is the same Kumar Kushagra, who is called Chhota Dhoni. He comes from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand. Like Dhoni, he is a wicketkeeper batsman and has the ability to hit long hits. However, his bat remained silent against KKR and the team had to face defeat by 7 wickets. Delhi had scored 153 runs in 20 overs, in reply KKR chased the target in 16.3 overs.
had a chance to score runs
Actually, when Delhi was batting, the team lost its 7th wicket in the form of Axar Patel in 13.3 overs. At this time the team’s score was 101 runs. Now Kumar Kushagra came to the crease, from whom the team expected that he would add some runs and take the team to 170 runs, but Kumar could not live up to the expectations and Varun Chakraborty made him his victim.
How did Kumar Kushagra get out?
Varun Chakraborty was bowling the 15th over for Kolkata Knight Riders. Kumar Kushagra tried to defend the third ball of this over, but the ball took the edge of his bat and hit the pad and went into the hands of the wicketkeeper. Phil Salt took a good catch with one hand, thus keeping Kushagara on his way.
