Shreyas Gopal’s stormy spin show bowled out Sikkim for 82 runs.
In the mega auction of IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings had bet on an experienced spinner and that spinner was Shreyas Gopal. CSK got this spin specialist for the base price of just Rs 30 lakh. Shreyas, who was a part of Mumbai Indians last season, surprised everyone with his spin magic as soon as he joined CSK.
In the match played against Sikkim in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Tournament, Shreyas Gopal trapped the opposition team’s batsmen in his web of spin in such a way that the entire Sikkim team collapsed after scoring just 82 runs. Gopal troubled the Sikkim batsmen so much with his lethal bowling that their batting order was shattered.
Shreyas Gopal took five wickets while conceding only 13 runs in 24 balls. The condition of Sikkim’s batsmen became so bad that Ashish Thapa scored the highest runs with 18 runs. Along with Shreyas Gopal’s bowling, Vighadhar Patil also had excellent support, taking three wickets while conceding only 10 runs in his four overs. Due to this excellent performance, Sikkim team was reduced to a very modest score of 82 runs.
This brilliant performance of Shreyas Gopal stood witness to his spin magic and proved that Chennai Super Kings have acquired an important player at a very cheap price.
