Suyash Sharma looked confident in front of a packed audience of roughly 67,000 at Eden Gardens, bagging 3/30 in his debut.
Suyash Sharma, a debutant spinner, stole the show as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday. Before being snatched up at the auction this year, the 19-year-old had only played white ball cricket at the age group level. In KKR’s comprehensive triumph, he established a lethal combo with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. Suyash returned 3/30 as RCB were thrashed by KKR’s spin trio.
Suyash, who is wearing a headband to keep his flowing mane in control, bears an eerie likeness to Indian Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, which admirers observed.
