BCCI News: The 8th match of the ACC T20 Emerging Team Asia Cup 2024 is being played between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Oman. In this match, India's young fast bowler Rasikh Salam caught everyone's attention with his deadly bowling. He pushed the UAE on the backfoot by taking a flurry of wickets in his very first over, which is another proof of his talent and ability.

Rasikh Salam's bowling performance

Rasikh Salam, who is known for his fast pace, performed brilliantly in this match. He took wickets on the first, second and fifth balls while bowling the last over of the powerplay of the UAE innings. During this over, Rasikh did not give any concessions to the UAE batsmen and trapped them in the trap of his bowling. Earlier, he had also performed well against Pakistan, where he took 2 wickets.

Rasikh's name in controversies

However, Rasikh Salam's journey also involves some controversies. He was banned for two years by the BCCI for using a fake birth certificate to join the Indian Under-19 team. A report was sent by the Board of School Education to the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, which revealed Rasikh's real age. It was alleged that he had tampered with the mark sheet of an acquaintance of his and showed his age as 17 years, while he was 19 years old at that time. Despite this controversy, he continued to play and made a great comeback.

Rasikh's career in IPL

Rasikh Salam has also been a part of the IPL. Last season, he was included in the Delhi Capitals squad. Prior to this, he has also played with teams like Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. He has played a total of 11 matches in the IPL, taking 9 wickets in 8 matches for Delhi last season. Apart from this, he has also played 3 first class and 7 List A matches, which shows his multi-faceted ability.

Conclusion

Rasikh Salam's performance in the ACC T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 not only shows his bowling ability, but it also tells the story of his struggle and comeback. This is an inspiring example for young talents on how success can be achieved through hard work and dedication despite difficulties. His performance in this match is a ray of hope for the future of Indian cricket and shows that there is no dearth of young talent in Indian cricket.
