Tamil Nadu Premier League 2023: Cricket is such a cruel game, it is realized when suddenly something happens in a match which is difficult to imagine. Something similar was seen in the second match of this season of Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). The match between Salem Spartans and Chepauk Super Gillies saw not 6 or 7 runs in one ball but full 18 runs.
Salem Spartans team was bowling first in this match. Chepauk Super Gillies scored 191 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 19 overs. After this, everyone expected better bowling from the team captain Abhishek Tanwar, who came to bowl the last over of the innings from Salem. Abhishek also gave only 8 runs in 5 balls of his over.
Gave away 18 runs on the last ball
Now when Abhishek ran to throw the last ball, he bowled nine balls on which no more runs came. Then Abhishek bowled the next ball as well which was hit for a six and a total of 7 runs came. Now again the next ball became a no ball on which 2 runs came. Then after that Abhishek threw the wide ball. However, when he bowled the legal ball, he also got hit for a six. In this way Abhishek threw the ball 5 times to throw one ball.

Abhishek recorded an embarrassing record in his name
An embarrassing record has also been recorded in the name of Abhishek Tanwar, the captain of the Salem Spartans team, who conceded 18 runs on the last ball of the innings. Now Abhishek has become the highest run scorer from India in just one ball. At the same time, this record in world cricket is still in the name of Clint McCoy. Who gave 20 off 1 ball during a match in the Big Bash League season of 2012-13.
