The right-arm fast pacer bowled the most expensive over by an Indian debutant. Electing to bat first, England were blazing guns from the start. The English batter destroyed Rana’s length with ease. He started the over with a slog shot for a six. The next ball was a cover drive for four followed by another slog-sweep for a maximum. Salt smashed another four. Rana regained control only for the last ball to take the aerial route again.
From the other side of the wicket, Ben Duckett contributed with 17 runs including three boundaries. In the process, England were off to a great start with 52/0 at the end of six overs.
The former KKR roommate from IPL 2024 showed no mercy to Rana. Salt will be a part of the RCB circuit for the IPL 2025.
