Vishnu Vinod: ‘Shot of the season’ blown away, know about Vishnu Vinod who waited for the opportunity for 2189 days – mumbai indians vishnu vinod profile ipl 2023 mi vs gt six shami

Mumbai: Vishnu Vinod is not a new name in Indian domestic cricket. He has not been able to do any great feat in first class cricket or in other words Ranji Trophy. But his record in List A and T20 is solid. Strike rate of 139 and average of 33 in 51 T20 matches. The wicket-keeper batsman from Kerala in List A has a strike rate of 93 and an average of 40. Even after this, he was not getting a chance in IPL for a long time. Vishnu Vinod was last included in the playing XI by Royal Challengers Bangalore on 14 May 2017. He also made his debut in the same season.

Mumbai Indians gave a chance

Tilak Verma is not fit and in his place Mumbai Indians gave Vishnu Vinod a chance in the playing XI against Gujarat Titans. After waiting for 2189 days i.e. about 6 years, Vishnu Vinod came out to bat on the field. Mumbai gave him a chance before Cameron Green and Tim David. After scoring 4 runs off the first 6 balls, he hit a six off Alzarri Joseph’s lofted delivery. But what caught everyone’s attention was his six over the cover. Vishnu Vinod made room on Mohammed Shami’s ball and played a jarring shot over the covers. It is also being called Shot of the IPL 2023. Even the commentator could not believe his shot.

Delhi and Hyderabad put on the bench

After making his debut for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2017, the 29-year-old Vishnu Vinod was a part of Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. But he did not get a chance to play. In this year’s auction, Mumbai Indians bought Vishnu Vinod for a base price of Rs 20 lakhs. He was originally bought as a backup for Ishaan Kishan. But given a chance to play as the lead batsman.

Vishnu Vinod scored 30 off 20 balls for Mumbai Indians against Gujarat. His innings included 2 fours and 2 sixes. With Suryakumar Yadav, he made a 65-run partnership for the fourth wicket and played every bowler with ease.
