New Delhi. What will happen if someone is ready to play the batter spinner and the ball comes out of his head at a stormy speed. The same happened with Venkatesh Iyer in the first match of IPL 2025. Venkatesh Iyer Royal Challengers were batting after scoring 6 runs against Bangalore, he was in front of the left -handed spinner Krunal Pandya. Perhaps this was the reason that Venkatesh was playing without a helmet, but Krunal killed such a bouncer that KKR’s batter was blown away. The bouncer turned out to be wide but the next ball took Venkatesh Iyer’s bails.
The first match of IPL 2025 was played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The Bengaluru team defeated KKR by 7 wickets in this match. During this match, KKR’s team was moving ahead with a strong time. He had scored 124 runs for 3 wickets in 12 overs. Then Venkatesh Iyer and Angakrish Raghuvanshi were at the crease. The ball was in the hands of Krunal Pandya.
Krunal Pandya bowled the first ball bouncer of the 13th over. Venkatesh Iyer was not at all ready for this and he left Harabada. Iyer was not even wearing a helmet. However, the ball was much higher than his head and he did not harm it. Wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma jumped and stopped it somehow.
Venkatesh Iyer did not think it right to take the risk after this. He immediately asked for a helmet. Krunal suddenly dodged Iyer by bouncer. He again bowled length at a speed of 101 km per hour. Venkatesh Iyer was a little late in playing this ball and the ball hit the stumps with the inner edge of his bat. In this way, Krunal gave his team the fourth wicket. Venkatesh Iyer was dismissed for 6 runs off 7 balls.
