[Watch] Suyash Sharma bowls a ripper to send back Abhinav Manohar during IPL 2023 match between GT and KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) prodigy Suyash Sharma once again forced the cricketing world to stand up and take notice, this time against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, April 9.

The leg spinner cleaned up Gujarat batter Abhinav Manohar with a tossed-up delivery outside the off stump. He bowled an excellent googly to leave the right-handed batter completely clueless.

The ball breached Manohar's defense and crashed onto the stumps through the gap between the bat and pad.

Watch Suyash Sharma’s outstanding delivery to dismiss Abhinav Manohar:

The 19-year-old, who made his debut in the last game, finished his spell with figures of 1/35 in his four overs against the defending champions.

For the uninitiated, the Delhi-born spinner scalped three wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on his IPL debut. Kolkata won that game by 81 runs to register their first win of the season in their backyard.
