Watch: Sreesanth takes his first wicket in 7 years for Kerala

S Sreesanth marked his return to cricket after seven years on Monday with all the particular qualities related to him earlier than his ban. Upright seam, late swing taking the ball away from the batsman to strike the highest of off stump, a celebration befitting the wicket — it was all on show as Sreesanth struck for Kerala of their Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 match in opposition to Pondicherry.
It has been seven years since he final performed, but it surely took Sreesanth simply seven balls to get his first wicket on return. He bought an outswinger to depart Puducherry batsman Fabid Ahmed’s off stump clipped and the batsman awestruck.

Sreesanth completed the match with figures of 4-0-29-1. He was seen making a grateful gesture to the pitch after ending his spell.

The Kerala speedster has 27 Tests, 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is for India to date. Now 37, Sreesanth has vowed it’s not too late for him to make an India comeback.
