Every day some batsman makes a splash in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Sometimes Hardik Pandya shows wonders with his batting and sometimes Ajinkya Rahane. Players like Vijay Shankar have also played explosive innings. The name of Saurashtra’s better player Harvik Desai has also been added to this list. Harvick played a stormy innings against Tamil Nadu at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Tuesday. He hit fours and sixes.
24 runs in one over
Harwick scored 24 runs in five balls in one over of Tamil Nadu spinner Sai Kishore. This time in the IPL mega auction, Sai Kishore has been bought by Gujarat Titans for Rs 2 crore. Harvick hit the ball hard. Batting first, Saurashtra lost the wicket of opener Tarang Gohil in the second over, who was dismissed by Gurjanpreet Singh. But Desai and Prarak Mankad counter-attacked and added 99 runs in the next 51 balls.
Harvick and Prarak wreaked havoc and
Prarak Mankad was dismissed by Shahrukh Khan after scoring 43 runs in 26 balls. The melee involved five balls of the fourth over bowled by left-hander Sai Kishore to Desai. Harwick hit a six on the first ball, a four on the second ball, then a six on the third ball and two more fours on the next two balls. Harvick scored runs at a strike rate of 161.76. The surprising thing is that this time no one bought this explosive player in the mega auction of IPL.
Saurashtra’s 235 runs
Sai Kishore took revenge in the 11th over of the innings. He took the catch of Harvik Desai in his own over. Harwick scored 55 runs in 34 balls. During this he hit 5 fours and 4 sixes.
