Amit Mishra is having a great season in the ongoing IPL 2023 as he has picked up seven wickets in seven matches at an average of 21.28 and an economy of 7.84. The 40-year-old bowled a spell of 1/40 in four overs during Lucknow Super Giant’s ongoing clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Match 58). After opting to bat first, the Aiden Markram-led side got off to a great start as they were 73/2 after eight overs.
Mishra came in to bowl the ninth over of the innings and got hit for six on the third ball by Markram. The wrist-spinner made a terrific comeback as he dismissed Anmolpreet Singh (36 off 27) on the fifth ball of the over getting him out caught and bowled. The right-handed batter came down the track and played the ball straight to Mishra who took a good catch on his right to get his first wicket of the match.
The 40-year-old veteran was pumped up after taking the catch and threw the ball in anger while giving a death stare to the batter.
