Young Indian pacer Mukesh Kumar sent Australia’s middle order packing with back-to-back wickets in the 16th over. Chasing a target of 161 runs at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, Australia were 5 wickets down when Mukesh struck twice in one over. Ravi Bishnoi added two scalps to his name while Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh grabbed one wicket each, at the time of publishing this story.
Mukesh Kumar first dismissed Matthew Short who was caught out by Ruturaj Gaikwad, following which Dwarshuis was left clueless in the very next delivery. Mukesh finished his spell with 3 wickets and 32 runs in his four overs. This series could very well place Mukesh Kumar as one of the contenders for a spot in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Mukesh could very well be an added asset to India’s pace attack, which already comprises the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Shami, Siraj and more. A young Indian pacer is exactly something the selectors would be looking for at the moment.
