Unmukt Chand hammered Naveen in MLC [X]
Unmukt Chand, who led Indian under-19 team to World Cup glory in 2012, made his mark in the ongoing Major League Cricket as he slammed a counterattacking half-century in Los Angeles Knight Riders' inaugural match against Texas Super Kings.
His blistering knock proved match-defining, with the Knight Riders edging past the Super Kings by twelve runs.

After being put into bat first, the Knight Riders had a disastrous start, losing key wickets of Jason Roy and Sunil Narine.
However, Unmukt Chand unleashed his beast mode on the Super Kings bowlers, powering LAKR to a fighting 162-run total in 20 overs.
He took a particular liking for ace TSK pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, whom he hammered for two fours and a six to collect 14 runs.
The incident occurred during the fourth over of LAKR's innings when Chand was trying to steady the ship alongside Shakib Al Hasan.
After playing a glorious lofted drive over the square, Chand played a spectacular pick-up shot, dispatching the ball over the square leg fence for a six.
He followed it up with another gorgeous shot over the off-side field, scoring 14 runs off the over in this process.
Riding on his breezy knock and Ali Khan's clinical four-wicket haul, LAKR restricted TSK to 150-8 in 20 overs, winning the match by 12 runs.
