Twitter Erupts as Angkrish Raghuvanshi Rises to Orange Cap Spot

This time the IPL is not just about the stars of the game giving their best, it is also about the rising stars. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has stepped up as a key batter for Kolkata Knight Riders, giving his best even against SRH. After the game, he also received the Orange Cap.

The Orange Cap race in the IPL gets more intense for the fans to watch. We thought it would be taken over by veterans such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, or even Ajinkya Rahane who has been in brilliant form. Some of them even thought that it would be Ishan Kishan or Sanju Samson, as both players have been in impressive form with the T20 World Cup.

But Angkrish Raghuvanshi has taken a wild card entry to this list. And he didn't just enter the list, he took over the top spot with the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The youngster had already impressed the coaches to a great extent with his performances, showcasing his aggressive batting style and the ability to handle innings at the same time.

In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he went on to score a brilliant half-century in the 200+ chase. However, things didn't end well for him as he was run out due to a miscommunication between him and Rinku.

Let's see how Twitter has reacted to Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s performance.

Defined Well

A Twitter user termed KKR’s performance well by saying that the kid alone went on to score 52 runs. While the seniors on the other end went on to make miscommunications, leading to run outs.

Never Ending Story

It has been a never ending story between Rinku Singh and run out. But the only character change which took place this time was Angkrish Raghuvanshi.

Cricket can be Cruel

Angkrish Raghuvanshi deserved to stay till the end and finish the game for KKR at their home ground. But cricket can be cruel to a great extent sometimes.
