[Watch] Suyash Sharma bowls a ripper to send back Abhinav Manohar during IPL 2023 match between GT and KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) prodigy Suyash Sharma once again forced the cricketing world to stand up and take notice, this time against Gujarat Titans (GT) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, April 9.

The leg spinner cleaned up Gujarat batsman Abhinav Manohar with a delivery bowled off the stump. He tossed an excellent googly to throw the right-handed hitter completely off track.

The ball passed Manohar’s defense and smashed into the stumps through the gap between the bat and the pad.

The 19-year-old, who made his debut in the last match, finished his spell with figures of 1/35 in his four overs against the defending champions.

For the uninitiated, the Delhi-born spinner tore three wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in his IPL debut. Kolkata won that game by 81 runs to record their first backyard win of the season.
