“IPL 2023: Kyle Meyers – A Siddha of Lara’s Class and a Phenomenon Worth 50 Lakhs More Than Six Quarters of a Crore”

In Queensland, the cricketing world watched in disbelief as Cameron Green’s back-of-the-length delivery, a sweet back-foot punch, swung low over the covers and into the upper deck of the gallery.

How can a left-hander generate so much power on the back foot and play such a shot in that direction of the ground, without stepping out, without attempting an inside out, standing at the crease? they asked in surprise. Kyle Meyers was the name of that surprise and credibility.

He caresses Akshardweep to point and in the very next moment he muscles the ball through mid-wicket. If the tracer bullet-like straight boundary that followed was an execution of sheer power, the next moment precise foot movement was picking up a slow delivery and driving it through the bowler’s legs with pure timing for a boundary.

He embodied the brutality of the Gayle-Pollard-Russell triumvirate when Brar was told to kiss the sky over midwicket and when Raza was bowled over long-on. Moments later, he had evolved into a siddha with Brian Lara’s class, as he bowled Rabada over long-on at straight battle with a minimal step out.

I hope no more in a phenomenon that has made fifty lakhs worth more than six and a quarter crores.
