Delhi: Mumbai Indians (Mi) could not once again make her debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with victory. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated him by four wickets in the match played at Chepock on Sunday. Mumbai’s team has been losing the first match of the season since 2013 and this time the same story was repeated. However, despite the defeat, the star batsman Suryakumar Yadav, who captained the team in the first match, looked quite happy. The reason for his happiness was young spinner Vignesh Puthur.
Vignesh performed brilliantly in his first IPL match. He took three important wickets for 32 runs in four overs and with his spin, he troubled the Chennai batsmen a lot. His performance caught everyone’s attention.
After the match, Suryakumar Yadav praised Vignesh fiercely. He said, “The team of Mumbai Indians is known for this. Our team worked hard for 10 months to find Vignesh and this is the result of that. I had saved an over so that if the match goes till the last over, it could be used. There was no need to put any mind that the 18th over would not be found, because there was no dew.”
Although his superb bowling could not win Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings, he won the hearts of fans with his sharp bowling.
Let us tell you that in his early cricket career, Vignesh Puthur used to bowl medium pace, but cricketer Mohammad Sharif advised him to try his hand in leg spin. At that time, Vignesh did not know much about ‘Chinaman’ bowling, but Sharif’s advice changed the direction of his career.
