Watch – Sreesanth Takes First Wicket For Kerala In Seven Years

Sreesanth Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy wicket

They say form is temporary and class is permanent and Sreesanth once again testified the age-old proverb. Sreesanth, who is returning to competitive cricket after seven-long years of exile, had all the ingredients in his bowling during his comeback match which made him a rare talent during his early days.

All eyes were on the game between Kerala and Puducherry and Sreesanth didn’t disappoint. Upright seam, late swing taking the ball away from the batsman, the veteran batsman delivered exactly what was expected out of him by the Kerala think tank.

Sreesanth gets emotional on his return to competitive cricket

And man, he just took seven balls to strike his first wicket on his return. It was a perfect out-swinger that hit the good length area beating the Puducherry batsman Fabid Ahmed by an inch to hit the top of the off-stump. Sreesanth befittingly looked emotional after his first wicket at the Wankhede Stadium and thanked everyone for the support during these difficult years.
