Tushar deshpande
Tushar deshpande takes 2 wickets in 7 balls: The IPL 2025 season was stopped due to military tension between India and Pakistan, but now it has started again. The first match after the re-start was canceled due to rain, but on Sunday, 18 May, the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals was played with full energy on Sunday. Punjab opener batsmen did not appear in the form in this match. At the same time, Tushar Deshpande, who was elected in the Indian team, troubled him with his tremendous bowling.
Tushar Deshpande broke Punjab’s opening partnership
In the match played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl first. Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh, who came out to open from Punjab, started rapidly and started raining fours from the first over.
However, his aggressive attitude did not last long. By the fourth over, both batsmen had returned to the pavilion. The wickets of these two were shocked by Rajasthan fast bowler Tushar Deshpande, who gave a big blow to the start of Punjab by bowling strongly.
Deshpande shook two big wickets
Punjab Kings got the first blow in the second over of the innings, when Tushar Deshpande was bowling. On the fifth ball of this over, he sent Priyansh Arya to the pavilion for just 9 runs. After this, he got another major success at the beginning of the fourth over.
This time the hunting became Prabhasimran Singh who was batting aggressively. Prabhasimran scored 21 runs off just 10 balls, but Tushar’s exact ball stopped his innings. Along with this, Deshpande has also completed his 50 wickets in the IPL.
Critics gave a befitting reply
This success of Tusshar Deshpande was not limited to the wicket but his performance also gave a befitting reply to critics. Within just 7 balls, he returned the pavilion to two in-form batsmen Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh, who has scored 814 runs together this season.
The special thing is that Tushar’s performance has come at a time when he has recently been selected in the India-A team for the tour of England. Questions were being raised on this selection, because Tushar was neither effective in domestic cricket nor was able to perform well in IPL 2025 till now. In this match, he made a tremendous comeback, proving his selection right.
