The Bangalore Bashers suffered an early setback on the opening day of the Entertainers Cricket League (ECL) as their captain, Abhishek Malhan, was dismissed in a soft manner, leaving the team in a precarious position. 

Entertainers Cricket League is an innovative cricket tournament that brings together celebrities, influencers, and entertainers from various fields to showcase their cricketing skills.

The league kicked off today with the opening match held between Bangalore Bashers led by vlogger Abhishek Malhan and Haryanvi Hunters captained by popular influencer and Big Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav.

The Bashers batted first and lost two early wickets in the form of Aryaman Pal and Umang Sethi.

To salvage the damage, captain Abhishek Malhan stepped in and slammed two quick sixes to kickstart the momentum. However, his stay was short-lived as he fell victim to a soft dismissal that stunned both the crowd filled with his fans and his teammates.

Mahi from Hunters bowled a fuller delivery that lacked bounce. Abhishek Malhan failed to get under the ball in time and his mistimed slap shot went straight into the hands of Lalit Yadav. 

That marked Bashers’ third dismissal at just 35 runs. While its a setback but as the tournament progresses, the Bashers will be hoping that their captain can bounce back and lead by example.
