Akash Singh played his first game of the season for LSG and finished with 3/26 in his 4 overs.
LSG captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and chose to bowl first. CSK openers Sanju Samson (20) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (13) attempted to give CSK a very good start, and they hit some very good shots in the powerplay.
Wickets were the need of the hour, and Pant brought in left-arm pacer Akash Singh into the attack, and the left-arm pacer gave immediate results.
He had Ruturaj Gaikwad caught by Nicholas Pooran at mid-on, as CSK captain mis-hit a pull shot. In celebration, Akash took out a note from his pocket and also pointed towards his head, showing his cricketing acumen.
He then accounted for Sanju Samson, who whipped a length delivery towards deep square leg and was caught by Mitchell Marsh. Akash Singh again took the note out the pocket to celebrate.
The note read: “#Akki on fire- Akash knows how to take wickets in T20 game.”
