WATCH: Riley Meredith gets welcomed by Jos Buttler with 4 4 4 4 on IPL debut
Aussie pacer Riley Meredith made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings in a fixture against Rajasthan Royals on Monday, 12th April. Riley was introduced in to the attack by captain KL Rahul in the 5th over as RR were chasing a target of 222 to win. Meredith who was bowling his first ever over in IPL history, got a spanking welcome by Jos Buttler who hit 4 consecutive fours off the first 4 balls of the over!
WATCH:
The Aussie pacer conceded 18 runs in his first ever IPL over. His second over went for 9 runs while his third over got spanked for 14 runs courtesy Sanju Samson.
Punjab Kings brought Meredith back in to the attack in the 19th over when RR needed 21 runs to win in 12 balls. The right arm pacer picked the wicket of Rahul Tewatia first ball. He conceded just 8 runs off the over despite Samson smacking him for a six over deep mid-wicket boundary.
Meredith’s bowling figures of 4-0-49-1 might not be impressive but he delivered at the death when his team needed which turned quite cruicial in the final outcome of the match.
