Jackson Becomes Ninth Batsman be Dismissed Hit-wicket
Things are not clicking for Saurashtra born wicket-keeper batsman Sheldon Jackson, he has been provided with the opportunity and has failed to rise to the occasion, so far he has played three matches for his team, and scoring mare 38 runs with an average of 19.00. Jackson once again got an opportunity to impress the KKR skipper and the management, he was promoted up the order against Pune. KKR had started off poorly, losing opener Narine for a duck, Jackson was brought in to steady the ship with Gambhir.
However, the right-hander played youngster Washington Sundar’s ball on the on-side, but he made one silly mistake, his leg made contact with the stumps and the LEDs were up in a flash. The promotion didn’t last long, he knew it straight away and made a long and a very forgettable walk back to the pavilion.
The night ended in further embarrassment for Jackson. He conceded a needless leg bye in a futile attempt to get the batsman run out when RPS needed just 6 runs off 7 balls.
Playing in his third match of the Indian Premier League, Jackson, who scored 10 runs, became the ninth batsman to be dismissed hit-wicket in IPL’s history and joined the likes of David Warner, Jadeja, Yuvraj Singh. There are three players from Sunrisers Hyderabad and all three happened in the same year 2016.
