IPL 2024: Bravo, Pollard Throw Support To Maphaka After His Tough Outing In Debut Match
Former West Indies: Former West Indies greats Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo extended words of encouragement to U-19 prodigy Kwena Maphaka, urging him to keep his chin up after the youngster conceded 66 runs in his allotted overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Wednesday.
Mi skipper Hardik Pandya brought Maphaka into the side in place of Luke Wood to make his IPL debut, one of the youngest in the tournament’s history at the age of 17.
Hailing from the illustrious ranks of U19 cricket for South Africa, where he had earned the Player of the Tournament title earlier in the year, Maphaka was slaughtered by the SRH batters and conceded 66 runs in his allotted four-over quota in his debut match against SRH.
