After the brilliant performance of India-A batsmen, now Indian bowlers are also bowling well. India-A bowlers have taken 5 wickets so far on the third day of the unofficial match against England Lions. Out of this, 3 wickets have been taken by the bowler, whom Indian fans were saying very good and bad, because this fast bowler is playing in this match wearing number 18 jersey. On which cricket fans were enraged. Virat Kohli used to play in Test cricket wearing number 18 jersey, but he has now retired from Test cricket. When fast bowler Mukesh Kumar landed in the field against England Lions, he was wearing a number 18 jersey, after which there was a ruckus, but this ruckus did not make any difference on Mukesh’s bowling.
Mukesh Kumar bowled brilliantly
India-A fast bowlers have taken three wickets so far in the unofficial match against England Lions. The biggest wicket in this is Max Holden. Holden scored 101 runs against Idea-A. After this, Mukesh Kumar took two wickets inside 4 runs and pushed England Lions on the backfoot.
Earlier, India-A scored 557 runs in their first innings against England Lions. This includes a double century of Karun Nair. As far as Mukesh Kumar’s Test career is concerned, he has played 3 Test matches for Team India so far, in which he has taken 7 wickets.
When Mukesh Kumar got involved in controversies
When India-A fast bowler Mukesh Kumar landed in the field to bowl against England Lions, he was wearing a number 18 jersey. There was a ruckus after this. On social media, Virat’s fans started calling Mukesh Kumar good and bad. The number 18 jersey has a deep connection with Virat Kohli.
This number is a symbol of important stages of his life, not just a number for Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli. Kohli started his international career on 18 August and his father died on 18 December 2006. Because of this, this number is emotionally special for them.
