Shamar Joesph, the debutant for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL, made a stunning entrance into the tournament during the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 28th match of IPL 2024.
Known for his pace, Joesph unleashed a thunderbolt clocked at an impressive 150.75 kmph, reminiscent of his teammate Mayank Yadav's record-breaking delivery of 156.7 kmph earlier in the tournament.
The 24-year-old pacer announced his arrival in the very first over, targeting KKR opener Phil Salt. Despite a dropped catch by Yash Thakur, later revealed to be a no-ball, Joesph's delivery sent a ripple of excitement through the crowd at Eden Gardens.
Stepping in as a direct replacement for the injured Mayank Yadav, Joesph showcased his potential to be a formidable force in LSG's bowling lineup.
In a twist of fate, LSG, after winning the toss, opted to bat first and set a target of 161 for KKR to chase. At the time of writing, KKR stood at 105 for 2 in 12 overs, with the match finely poised for an exhilarating finish.
Joesph's performance not only underscored his talent but also added depth to LSG's bowling arsenal. With his ability to consistently clock high speeds and trouble batsmen, Joesph promises to be a key player for LSG as they continue their campaign in the IPL.
