IPL 2022: Hrithik Shokeen age, salary, hometown and T20 stats
Hrithik Shokeen received his maiden IPL cap ahead of the Mumbai Indians' match against the Chennai Super Kings in the 2022 season. The Mumbai-based franchise made three changes to their playing XI for the first El Clasico of the tournament.
Rohit Sharma informed at the toss that Riley Meredith, Daniel Sams and Shokeen replaced Tymal Mills, Fabian Allen and Murugan Ashwin. Explaining the thought process behind picking the uncapped Shokeen for this big match, Sharma said:
"We wanted an off-spinner with four left-handers in their side, that's why Shokeen is in."
Shokeen played an impressive knock of 25 runs under pressure on his IPL debut. He hit three fours before losing his wicket to Dwayne Bravo.
In the bowling department, Shokeen bowled an economical four-over spell of 0/23. He almost dismissed Robin Uthappa caught and bowled but the catch was not clean, giving Uthappa a life.
