IPL 2022: All you need to know about RCB all-rounder Suyash Prabhudesai who ran out Moeen Ali on debut

Mumbai, April 12: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) handed the IPL debut cap to young Goa cricketer Suyash Prabhudesai in their southern derby against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday (April 12) in IPL 2022 here at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy.

The uncapped all-rounder from Goa was purchased by the Bangalore-based franchise for Rs 30 lakh and he grabbed attention in his debut game with a sensational fielding effort and helped effect the run out of CSK all-rounder Moeen Ali.

Prabhudesai - who received his maiden IPL contract from RCB in IPL 2021 - made his presence felt in the outfield when he took a good catch of CSK opener Robin Uthappa in the deep, but it turned out to be a no-ball as pacer Mohammad Siraj had overstepped.

Moeen Ali - who was batting on 3 off 8 balls - cut Glenn Maxwell towards backward point hoping and went for a single immediately. But an alert Prabhudesai dove towards his right and grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it towards wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who collected the ball and disturbed the stumps.

Ali - who made the call to take a single - was stopped by his batting partner after reaching almost halfway down the pitch and by the time he went back towards the crease it was already too late.

Prabhudesai instantly became a hit on social media with his electric performance and even the commentators in the com-box lauded the youngster for his fielding effort.

The right-handed batsman was impressive on his debut with the bat as well as he played a cameo of 18-ball 34 against CSK. He scored at a strike rate of 188.89 before getting bowled by Sri Lanka mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana while dancing down the track.
