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 at the same time it has also faced some shocking defeats. Apart from all this, Gambhir has also given continuous opportunity to some young players in the team, who are doing wonders. One of them is his favorite, who has not got much opportunities yet but his havoc is being seen elsewhere. This player is Punjab all-rounder Ramandeep Singh, who is wreaking havoc with his bat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Tilak Verma's Hyderabad team has become his latest victim.

The match played between Punjab and Hyderabad on Sunday 1st December witnessed spectacular batting. Some star batsmen from both the teams failed. Captain Tilak could not make any impact for Hyderabad while Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma were also ineffective for Punjab. Still, around 400 runs were scored in this match, in which Punjab won. They maintained their winning streak by defeating Hyderabad by a close margin of 7 runs and in this, Ramandeep's innings played at a strike rate of 354. Had a big role.

Ramandeep wreaked havoc on the bowlers

From his side, Anmolpreet Singh played the biggest inning of 60 runs in just 36 balls.

The entry of this right-handed batsman came on the second ball of the 18th over and then he defeated the bowlers in 11 balls.

This 27 year old batsman scored 39 runs in these 11 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 354.55 and in this also 38 runs came from the boundary. 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 recently revealed 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 came close to victory

If we talk about Hyderabad, then for the team's victory, a big innings was needed from captain Tilak Verma, who had rained 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 Mikil Jaiswal scored 39 runs in 23 balls but the rest of the batsmen failed. Then the bat of number 9 batsman CV Milind thundered, who scored 55 runs in just 22 balls with 6 sixes and 3 fours but still Hyderabad could only reach 189 runs.
