This Indian batsman had caught everyone’s attention by making the record of the fastest half-century in his very first match, but his bat remained silent in the biggest match.
Cricket is said to be a game of uncertainties and often these uncertainties are seen in different forms during on-field matches. Sometimes a team wins even on the verge of defeat, and sometimes even stronger teams lose to smaller teams. Not only for the team, but it does not remain the same for the players as well. Especially new players have to face it the most. Now the most recent and shocking example of this was seen in two days. Indian batsman Kiran Navgire, who caught everyone’s attention in the fourth season of the Women’s T20 Challenge 2022, had to face a situation that no one would have expected.
In this tournament played in Pune, Kiran Navgire, playing for Velocity, was entered as an excellent attacking batsman, who in recent times grabbed everyone’s attention with his explosive batting in domestic cricket. In such a situation, when he got a chance to play against the Trailblazers on 26 May, he also showed the first glimpse of it. The right-handed batsman made the record for the fastest half-century in the tournament and hit such shots, which surprised everyone, but within two days the situation completely turned around and something that is hard to believe.
50 on 10 to 0 on 13
In his first match, Kiran grabbed everyone’s attention by scoring 69 runs in just 34 balls. During this, he made 50 runs in just 10 balls with the help of 5 fours and 5 sixes. Obviously, after this innings, everyone expected another strong innings and in the final held on Saturday, they got such an opportunity, but what happened then was beyond anyone’s comprehension. This innings of Kiran was such, which was rarely seen in T20 cricket. The Velocity batsman played 13 balls but could not even open her account during this period. That is, not a single run in 13 balls.
Contenders for place in Team India
The effect of this innings was also shown on the result of the match in the end and due to the completion of 20 overs, Velocity lost the match by just 4 runs. However, this does not cast any doubt on the ability of Kiran Navgire, as she has batted brilliantly in recent times. The Maharashtra batsman, who played for Nagaland, had scored a lot of runs in the senior ODI tournament just a few weeks ago. In such a situation, in the coming time, he can be seen entering Team India.
