Ayush Singh Thakur has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Delhi Premier League T20 2024, showcasing his exceptional bowling skills, especially his deadly yorkers. In match number 17 between Purali Dilli 6 and North Delhi Strikers, Ayush’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, drawing comparisons to the Indian cricket team’s premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah.
A yorker masterclass
The match was a high-scoring affair, with Purali Dilli 6 posting a total of 192/6 in their 20 overs, thanks to solid contributions from Sangat Sangwan (47), Arpit Rana (42), and Mayank Gusain (40). North Delhi Strikers needed a strong start to their chase, Ayush made sure to ruin their plans right from the word go.
Ayush’s yorkers were on point throughout his spell, consistently hitting the right spot and deceiving the batters. His ability to consistently bowl yorkers at high speeds and with accuracy is a testament to his skill and dedication. In the opening over of Strikers’ chase, Ayush dismissed Sarthak Ranjan with a brilliant yorker.
Ayush came over the wicket and angled the yorker towards middle and leg. Ranjan attempted to flick it to the leg side, but missed, and the ball brushed his pads before crashing into the stumps.
