New Delhi
Ramandeep Singh made his debut in T20 International cricket for Team India on Wednesday 13 November at SuperSport Park in Centurion. This was also his international debut. Ramandeep Singh became the 118th player from India to play international cricket in this format. This match was memorable for Ramandeep and he made this match even more memorable when he came to bat and achieved that feat on the first ball, which batsmen are afraid to even think about.
In fact, Ramandeep Singh became the second batsman from India to hit a six on the first ball of his international career. Often, when a player steps into international cricket, he avoids playing aerial shots, because he wants to get rid of the nervousness of international cricket by hitting a single, double or four, but this is new India and Ramandeep is also a new team. He is a rising star of India. In such a situation, he did not hold back from hitting a six.
Before Ramandeep Singh, only Suryakumar Yadav could do this for India. According to the data after 2001, Surya and Ramandeep are the only Indians who started their international career with a six. Ramandeep got a chance to play 6 balls in this match and he was run out after scoring 15 runs. Apart from hitting a six, he also hit a four in his innings.
Before the match, Ramandeep Singh was handed the debut cap by VVS Laxman and Hardik Pandya. VVS handed over the cap to Hardik, who handed it over to Ramandeep Singh. Ramandeep Singh is also a pace all-rounder like Hardik Pandya. Apart from IPL, he bowls in domestic cricket, but captain Suryakumar Yadav did not make him bowl in the first match. Even he was included in the playing eleven in place of a pacer, but captain Surya did not hand over the bowling to Ramandeep Singh.
