[Watch] S Sreesanth sends back Martin Guptill with a vicious outswinger in LLC 2023

Former India pacer S Sreesanth is plying his trade for the Gujarat Giants (GG) in the ongoing 2023 edition of the Legends League Cricket (LLC). And he was at his vintage best against the Urbanrisers Hyderabad (URH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun on Sunday.

The right-arm pacer struck in his very first over of the match. He provided Gujarat with a massive breakthrough by sending back opener Martin Guptill.

Sreesanth bowled a full delivery around the off stump, and Guptill was completely deceived by the vicious outswinger. The New Zealander only managed to touch it with the outside edge of his bat, and keeper Dhurv Raval completed a fine diving catch.

S Sreesanth also showcased tremendous composure to defend 13 runs in the last over of the match. He sent back the dangerous-looking Peter Trego, who scored 59 runs off just 25 balls, to guide Gujarat to a thrilling one-run victory.

S Sreesanth's last-over heroics have helped GG secure two victories in LLC 2023

S Sreesanth didn't feature in the playing XI for Gujarat's opening match of the LLC 2023 against Manipal Tigers (MT). The Giants suffered a 10-run defeat in that match, failing to chase down 174 runs.

Sreesanth bowled a tidy spell in GG's next fixture against the Bhilwara Kings (BK). With 14 runs required to win off the final over, the onus was on the veteran seamer to deliver. He excelled under pressure, as Gujarat completed a three-run win over Bhilwara to get off the mark on the points table.

Sreesanth backed it up by successfully defending 13 runs off the last six deliveries against the Urbanrisers Hyderabad.

With two wins from three games, Gujarat are currently placed third in the points table. GG will take on India Capitals (IC) at the Molana Azad Stadium in Jammu on Thursday, November 30.
