Mumbai: Already out of IPL 2023 season Sunrise Hyderabad Now is the time to prepare for the next season. For that, the team will have to identify such players in their squad, who should be retained in the next season as well. In such a situation, this team is giving chance to some new players. A young batsman got such an opportunity, who hit the third ball of his career in such a way that the ball itself had to be changed.
In their last match of the league stage, Sunrisers Hyderabad made some changes against Mumbai Indians. One, Umran Malik returned after 5 matches. Also gave a chance to 23-year-old all-rounder Vivrant Sharma, who made his debut this season itself. Even before this, Vivrant had played two matches but did not get a chance to bat then.
made the game on the third ball
Vivrant got this opportunity against Mumbai because he was fielded for the opening and Vivrant created panic on the third ball of the match. On this ball of Jason Behrendorff, the left-handed batsman Vivrant hit a boundary using his steps and hitting a sharp shot over the covers.
Vivrant got a four but when the ball came back to the bowler, everyone was surprised. The seam (sewing thread) of the brand new ball was uprooted. Now was it the result of Vivrant’s strike or some other reason, the umpires had to change the ball in the first over itself.
