News India Live, Digital Desk: England Cricket: Every player in cricket wants to make his debut match memorable, but sometimes these memories become such that he would like to forget as soon as possible. Something similar happened with the 22 -year -old England fast bowler Soni Baker, who made an unwanted record in his first ODI, which no England bowler could make till date.
What happened to Soni Baker?
When Sony Baker got the Cap of England on the head of the headingley against South Africa, it was like a dream to come true for him. But his dream soon turned into a bad dream. South African batsmen, especially opener Aiden Markram, attacked him from the beginning that Baker looked completely helpless.
Markram cleaned his intentions by hitting three fours in the very first over of Baker, after which it rained such that Baker scored 56 runs in his first four overs. When captain Harry Brook removed him from bowling and then brought him back, his luck did not change.
Overall, Sony Baker gave 76 runs without taking 76 runs in his 7 overs, this is the highest run by any England bowler in his debut ODI match. Earlier, his day was bad in batting and he was dismissed by Golden Duck, that is, his first ball.
Captain encouraged
Although this debut was very disappointing in terms of figures, Sony Baker did not lose courage on the field. Despite so much beating, he continued to try to put the ball quickly. Captain Harry Brook also praised his passion. Brook said, “It was a difficult day for him, but the way he kept running with full heart and trying to take wickets, it was fantastic to see.”
The match was also very bad for England and the team collapsed for just 131 runs, which South Africa easily won by 7 wickets. But this match will always be remembered for the unwanted record of Sony Baker, which he might never want to remember himself.
