Abhishek Porel Fails In Crucial SMAT 2024 Encounter

Porel is a crucial player for Bengal and his failure hampered the team's confidence in a pressure game and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Karan Lal, the other opener played a handy knock of 33 while the likes of Writtick Chatterjee and Pradipta Pramanik scored crucial runs to take Bengal's score over 150. Mohammed Shami is also part of Bengal's line-up in this game and he also used the long handle to great effect and contributed with 32 off 17 balls.

Talking about Abhishek Porel, he is likely to be a regular for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming edition of IPL and is likely to bat at an important number three position. KL Rahul is likely to lead them and they have built a strong squad with match-winners in both batting and bowling line-up.
