CSK vs RCB: Young Suyash Prabhudessai impresses on IPL debut with stunning run-out, 18-ball 34

Suyash Prabhudessai had a night to remember on his Indian Premier League debut as he came up with an all-round effort for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Chennai Super Kings at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, April 12.

Making his debut for RCB, Suyash Prabhudessai, who came in for Harshal Patel who exited the bubble after his sister’s demise last week, flaunted his power-hitting skills and his fielding skills. The young left-hander, who has the reputation of a big-hitter for Goa in domestic cricket, smashed 34 in just 18 balls, hitting a six and 5 boundaries after RCB lost their big guns in a mammoth chase of 217.

Prabhudessai was a live wire on the field as he dived along the boundary ropes, giving it his all. However, it was a stunning run-out of Moeen Ali that caught the attention of fans in his debut match for RCB.

It was Glenn Maxwell in the 7th over who bowled the ball to Robin Uthappa, and Suyash Prabhudessai was present at backward point, making a dive to stop the single, and threw the ball towards wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik, who hit the wickets with Moeen Ali having no chance of getting back to the crease.

Robin Uthappa had gone for it and made the run, but it was Moeen Ali who was dismissed. Moeen Ali could only manage to get 3 runs off 8 balls in his short tenure against RCB.

It was a sensational piece of fielding by the youngster who dived to make the stop, with Moeen Ali was halfway across the pitch coming from the non-striker’s end and could only watch himself get run-out.

Suyash Prabhudessai was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He has come in for Harshal Patel, who had to leave the camp as his sister passed away recently.
