SRH unearths new talent: Meet Zeeshan Ansari, who made a dream IPL debut with three wickets against DC

A debut could not have been better than this for Zeeshan Ansari who helped his side Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) put up a fight against Delhi Capitals (DC) despite the team scoring just 163 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. On his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut, the 25-year-old spinner, Zeeshan Ansari, took three wickets.

Zeeshan Ansari was included in SRH’s playing XI in place of Simarjeet Singh and it proved to be a masterstroke by captain Pat Cummins as the leg-break spinner was the only SRH bowler to make an impact on the day.

DC lost their first wicket in the ninth over and at the score of 81 as Faf du Plessis departed immediately after scoring a fifty. Credit must go to Wiaan Mulder also who took a brilliant catch at deep mid-wicket.
