IPL 2023: New lease of life for Rajasthan Royals pacer Sandeep Sharma | Cricket News – Times of India
JAIPUR: As soon as Sandeep Sharma bowled the final ball of the innings, which resulted in just a run, Jos Buttler and Ravichandran Ashwin rushed towards him to congratulate the pacer.
Sandeep conceded 32 runs and took an important wicket of Marcus Stoinis in his four-over spell to help Rajasthan Royals restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 154/7 as the IPL returned to Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur after a long gap of four years.
The 29-year-old Sandeep has earned respect among his team members with his hard work and disciplined bowling this season.
It’s so far so good for the Haryana veteran seamer. Drafted into the team at the last moment after last year’s hero Prasidh Krishna was ruled out due to injury, Sandeep has made the most of his opportunity.
Be it the last over to MS Dhoni to defend 20-odd runs and helping Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings last week at the Chepauk or bowling some crucial overs at the death in the earlier ties, Sandeep hasn’t disappointed his captain Sanju Samson.
After being unsold in the auction, RR brought Sandeep in their ranks and the veteran seamer reposed the faith shown in him by the team management with impressive performance. Prior to the competition, Sandeep impressed the captain and coaching staff with a splendid effort in the couple of practice games. He was accurate and penetrative, troubling even the best of batters in the nets. Many thought that Navdeep Saini would be the automatic replacement for Krishna, but Sandeep proved it wrong and forced his way through sheer hard work and determination.
The presence of Lasith Malinga is definitely helping Sandeep. The legendary Sri Lankan bowler has been working with Sandeep ever since he joined the RR camp. The vast experience of playing in the domestic circuit and knowledge of the pitches throughout India is certainly helping Sandeep make his mark in the most competitive cricket league in the world.
