Express News Service CHENNAI: IT was the fourth ball of the fifth over during the chase between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Vyshak Vijay Kumar ran in and angled the ball across David Warner. Early into the shot, the southpaw hit it straight to Virat Kohli at midwicket. Vyshak let out a roar which was engulfed by that of the packed M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The 26-year-old had taken his first IPL wicket on debut, that too, of Warner, setting up the game for RCB. Vyshak would come back again in the middle-overs to take more wickets with his knuckle balls, registering (3/20) the second-best figures by an Indian on IPL debut (best for RCB). Vyshak was the hero for the franchise in front of a home crowd at a ground where he grew up playing all his cricket. Dream debut, enough said. However, Vyshak did not begin his cricket journey as a pacer. He broke into age-group teams early, largely as a batter and even captained the state U-16 team. That is when he joined Basavanagudi Cricket Academy. "At that time, he used to be on the heavier side and more interested in batting than his bowling. I used to taunt him that he couldn't bowl fast, couldn't run fast around the ground. He took it as a challenge and now, here he is, bowling fast for RCB in the IPL," recalls Ramana, who worked with Vyshak at the academy. The transformation, however, did not happen overnight.

IPL 2023, DC vs RR: Live Score and Updates "During his under-17 days, Vysakh was playing for Basavangudi Cricket Club, and his concentration was on batting then and bowling occasionally. They had a coach named Ramana, and he would sometimes tease him because Vysakh was a bit overweight at the time and he would tell him he could not bowl fast. It was not rude or anything, but Ramana wanted to challenge Vysakh and make him concentrate on his bowling, says Vijay Kumar, Vysakh's father, was quoted as saying by Free Press Journal. Vyaskh has been impressive during his time with Karnataka, which began in the 2021-22 season, dishing out a fine variety of yorkers, knuckleballs, and so on.
