Ramandeep Singh is a jewel for the Kolkata Knight Riders; in the Eden Gardens against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the batsman turned the tide of the match. In their Indian Premier League 2024 season opening, Kolkata Knight Riders laid a solid foundation thanks in large part to his power-hitting skills.
The right-handed hitter entered the game with his team in a vulnerable situation, having conceded four wickets in the first eight overs and needing to score just 51 runs. Supporters would have anticipated that he would team up with Phil Salt to use the defensive strategy to stabilize the innings.
Ramandeep Singh, however, took full most of his opportunity when Gautam Gambhir took over, smashing 35 runs off of only 17 balls. In his spectacular innings, the batting all-rounder was able to smash four sixes and one four. During their 54-run partnership, he was the more aggressive player alongside Salt. Even though Pat Cummins eventually got rid of him in the thirteenth over, he had already turned the tide in his favor.
Social media users are exploding at Ramandeep’s offensive innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad. As they watched the ball soar into the stands more often than not during the innings, the Eden Gardens was agog.
Is Ramandeep Singh developing into a new star under Gautam Gambhir?
The 26-year-old was a member of the Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions, in the Indian Premier League. He was only able to make the starting XI five times in the previous two seasons. These five appearances all occurred in the league’s 2022 season. He only managed to score 45 runs overall in his five games, but he also claimed five wickets with his precise line and length.
The Kolkata Knight Riders were enticed to sign an all-rounder for their team after seeing some incredible performances from Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Ramandeep Singh played with an incredible strike rate of 222 in India’s local T20 competition, demonstrating the type of innings he is renowned for. The all-rounder from Punjab has a lot of room to grow under Gautam Gambhir and could end up becoming the team’s key player.
