T20 World Cup 2022: Vikramjit Singh age, height, hometown and T20I stats
Vikramjit Singh became one of the few India-born cricketers to have played against the Indian cricket team in a T20 World Cup match earlier on Thursday in Sydney. Singh opened the batting for the Netherlands team against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, but managed to score just one run.
India won the toss and opted to bat first in their Super 12 match against the Netherlands. Half-centuries from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav helped the Men in Blue post 179/2 in their 20 overs.
Chasing 180 for a win, Vikramjit opened the innings for the Dutch team along with the in-form Max O'Dowd. Vikramjit had a chance to impress both Indian and Dutch fans, but he struggled against Bhuvneshwar Kumar. After failing to open his account in the first over bowled by Kumar, Singh took a single in the second over bowled by Arshdeep Singh.
Singh came on strike against Kumar again in the third over and lost his stumps on the second ball. Fans were a little surprised to see an Indian-origin player representing the Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2022. On that note, here are some interesting things you need to know about Vikramjit Singh.
