His fireworks helped his team post a towering total of 426 for 4 in their allotted 50 overs.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Ramandeep Singh gave a fiery display of his explosive batting in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT).
Ramandeep, who was retained by the defending champions for INR 4 crores ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season, blasted 80 off 53 balls, striking at an impressive rate of 150.94 during a match between Punjab and Hyderabad. His innings included six boundaries and four sixes.
Ramandeep’s heroics helped Punjab post a towering total of 426 for 4 in their allotted 50 overs. Openers Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma also played stellar knocks, registering 137 and 93 respectively to propel Punjab to the massive score.
Ramandeep recently made his India debut during the South Africa T20I tour on the back of a promising display in the previous IPL 2024 season where he scored 125 runs at a blistering strike rate of 201.61.
In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) as well, Ramandeep displayed his all-round abilities by scoring 81 runs at a strike rate of 180 in seven innings, with the best of 39*. Furthermore, he picked up 5 wickets at 16.20 runs apiece in five innings with the ball.
Ramandeep has already showcased that he can play fine cameos with both the bat and the ball. He can change gears quickly while batting lower down the order which makes him a lethal weapon in KKR’s already destructive lineup. Also with smart utilization, Ramandeep could reliably contribute a couple of overs for KKR with his medium pace if needed.
Given the sheer potential, KKR retained him under the uncapped player quota, and Ramandeep will once again will play a crucial role for the three-time IPL winners in the next season.
