The young left-arm fast bowler, Chetan Sakariya, who is making his debut for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) has had a memorable outing in his maiden game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 opener against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Chetan Sakariya, who opened the bowling along with Mustafizur Rahman, snared his first IPL wicket by dismissing the PBKS opener, Mayank Agarwal.

The 23-year old swore at the opening batsman after dismissing him. The dismissal occurred on the fourth ball of the over when Chetan Sakariya delivered a wide ball outside off. Mayank Agarwal wanted to slash it through point and threw his bat; however, he only managed to edge the ball to the opposing captain Sanju Samson.

Rajasthan Royals’ new captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to field first, backing his team to chase down.
