Phil Salt grabs a tiny spectator’s attention with a spectacular hit

The 23rd match of the Abu Dhabi T10 League showcased Team Abu Dhabi’s dominance as they faced off against the Chennai Brave Jaguars. The Jaguars struggled to post a competitive total, managing only 103 runs, thanks to an impressive bowling display from Team Abu Dhabi. The hosts, led by ??Salt’s explosive ??batting, made quick work of the chase, demonstrating their intent from the very first ball.

Salt opened the innings with aggression, starting his campaign with a boundary off Nuwan Thushara. However, it was his extraordinary six off Ali Khan in the seventh over that truly stole the show. Anticipating a yorker delivery, Salt adjusted his stance and unleashed a powerful lofted shot that soared over long-off, marking a pivotal moment in the match. The sheer force of his hit was such that ??it distracted a young spec??tator who momentarily dropped her phone in awe of the spectacle.

Salt’s impressive numbers in T20s

Salt’s performance in this match is particularly noteworthy as it follows his recent acquisition by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for IPL 2025. In a competitive bidding war against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), RCB secured Salt for an impressive INR 11.50 crore. This move comes after Salt’s pivotal role in KKR’s title-winning campaign in IPL 2024, where he scored 435 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 182. His transition to RCB is highly anticipated, especially as he prepares to open alongside cricketing legend Virat Kohli at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Salt’s journey in T20 cricket has been meteoric. With a total of 1,047 runs in just 34 T20 internationals at an average of 38.77 and a strike rate exceedi?ng 167, he has established himself as one of the most exciting players in the format. His ability to perform under pressure and deliver explo??sive innings makes him a valuable asset for any team.

The delightful incident involving Salt and the young fan encapsulates why cricket is more than just a game; it’s about creating memories and inspiring future generations. As cameras captured the moment, it highlighted not only Salt’s athleticism but also his ability to connect with fans on an emotional level.

The United States cricket team has disclosed its roster for the upcoming T20I series against Nepal, scheduled to begin on October 18 at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. The squad selection reflects a mix of returning stars and fresh faces, with some significant changes as the team prepares to compet?e on home ground.

Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar left out of the side

Former captain Steven Taylor has been excluded from the lineup for the T20I series against Nepal. The 31-year-old has had a challenging period, grappling with a dip in form throughout the World Cup and the recent ODI series against the Netherlands. Taylor, who was included in the T20I squad for the Netherlands matches, was ‘rested’ after suffering an injury during the preceding 50-over games. His omission from this series highlights ongoing concerns about his form and readiness.

Nitish Kumar has also been omitted, marking another significant change in the team. The ex-Canada skipper, who made the switch to represent the USA earlier this year, has struggled to find consistency, averaging just 13 in his last seven innings since the World Cup. Despite a promising start with a notable 27-run knock against India, Kumar’s decline in form led to his exclusion from the team for the upcoming matches.

Ali Khan returns to strengthen the bowling lineup

The USA’s pace attack will be bolstered by the return of Ali Khan. The 33-year-old fast bowler is set to make his comeback in USA side?? for the first time since the World Cup, having missed the Netherlands tour and sitting out the CPL season due to a leg injury. His return is anticipated to add much-needed depth and experience to the USA’s bowling unit as they take on Nepal.

Monank Patel resumes captaincy; Aaron Jones rejoins

Monank Patel will lead the team once again after recovering from a shoulder issue that kept him out of the T20I series in Namibia. As the captain, Patel’s leadership will be vital for the team’s success. Additionally, Aaron Jones makes a return to the side, having opted to play ?in the CPL with the St. Lucia Kings instead of joining the USA on the Namibia tour. With these seasoned players back, the USA team is poised to deliver a solid performance against Nepal.

USA squad for Nepal T20Is:

Monank Patel (Captain), Andries Gous, Abhi?shek Paradkar, Ayan Desai, Harmeet Singh, Juanoy Drysdale, Milind Kumar, Ali Khan, Nosthusha Kenjige, Jasdeep Singh, Aaron Jones, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Shayan Jahangir, Utkarsh Srivastava, Yasir M?ohammad.
