5 fours, 3 sixes, and a strike rate of 354… Gautam Gambhir's favorite player thrashed the bowlers.

The journey of Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir has been full of ups and downs so far. Under his coaching, Team India has registered some amazing victories and made records, while it has also faced some shocking defeats. Apart from all this, Gambhir has also given continuous opportunities to some young players in the team, who are doing wonders. One of them is also his favorite, who has not got many opportunities yet but his havoc is being seen everywhere. This player is Punjab's all-rounder Ramandeep Singh, who is wreaking havoc with his bat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and his latest victim is Tilak Verma's Hyderabad team.
The match played between Punjab and Hyderabad on Sunday, 1 December saw a spectacle of explosive batting. Some star batsmen from both teams failed. Captain Tilak could not make any impact for Hyderabad, while Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma were also ineffective from Punjab's side. Still, around 400 runs were scored in this match, in which Punjab won. It continued its winning streak by defeating Hyderabad by a close margin of 7 runs and Ramandeep's innings at a strike rate of 354 played a big role in this.
Ramandeep wreaked havoc on the bowlers.
In the match played in Rajkot, defending champion Punjab batted first and scored 196 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Anmolpreet Singh played the biggest innings of 60 runs in just 36 balls. Apart from him, Sanvir Singh scored 24 runs in 14 balls in the lower order but Ramandeep proved to be the star. This right-handed batsman entered on the second ball of the 18th over and then in 11 balls he played havoc with the bowlers.
This 27-year-old batsman scored 39 runs in these 11 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 354.55 and out of this, 38 runs came from boundaries. He hit 5 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Ramandeep Singh, who played an important role in making Kolkata the IPL champion this year, had revealed some time ago that Gambhir had called him his favorite while he was in KKR. With this innings, Ramandeep Singh once again proved with his performance why the former mentor of KKR and head coach of Team India respects him so much.
Hyderabad missed out on coming close to victory.
If we talk about Hyderabad, a big innings was needed from captain Tilak Verma for the team's victory, who had scored a lot of runs in the last few weeks. Tilak, who scored consecutive T20 centuries, could not do anything in this match. For Hyderabad, opener Rohit Rayudu scored 56 runs in 37 balls and in the middle order, Mikiil Jaiswal scored 39 runs in 23 balls but the rest of the batsmen failed. Then the bat of number 9 batsman CV Milind roared, who scored 55 runs in just 22 balls with 6 sixes and 3 fours, but still Hyderabad could only reach 189 runs.
