It wasn’t an ideal start for Royals of Rayalaseema as they lost Manoj Kumar (0), Dhruva Kumar Reddy (15) and Pyla Avinash (16) within the powerplay phase. Royals of Rayalaseema managed to post a total of 52/3 in the powerplay, and it was after the powerplay when they changed gears.
Apart from Rasheed, Satya Sai Sathwik (45) and Maddila Harsha Vardhan (34*) also played crucial knocks. Royals of Rayalaseema eventually went on to win the match by 51 runs after Tungabhadra Warriors were all out for 140. This was the first win of the season for the Royals after they had lost their opening two games against Vijayawada Sunshiners and Bhimavaram Bulls.
Shaik Rasheed, a 20-year-old who ails from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh, was acquired by Chennai Super Kings for INR 20 lakh at the IPL 2023 auction. He, however, failed to get a game that season but would make his IPL debut two years later.
This was after Chennai Super Kings acquired him for his base price of INR 30 lakh. Rasheed made a positive first impression in his IPL debut against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), scoring 27 runs from 19 balls.
