Arshdeep singh: Cricket News & Match Updates

The debutant, who came in as a substitute for pacer Arshdeep Singh, left no stone unturned and went on to seal victory for the Kings with a brilliant cameo. Ashutosh came into bat after Jitesh Sharma had smoked two back-to-back sixes off Gujarat Titans' premier bowler Rashid Khan before getting out. Ashutosh got off the mark with a single and only scored seven off the first seven deliveries he faced.

At that juncture, no one would have thought Punjab would go on to seal victory with three wickets and one ball left, especially with Mohit Sharma bowling the 19th over. Azmatullah Omarzai who bowled the 18th over of Punjab’s inning was the second most expensive bowler for Titans in the match. He had conceded 16 runs and the match shifted to Punjab’s favour. Ashutosh struck three boundaries in the over and reached a personal score of 22 in 12 deliveries. It was a big over that fetched 18 runs for Punjab, leaving them needing 25 off the last 12 deliveries.   Read More...
