‘Pick me’ – Sreesanth’s comments on Preity Zinta’s Instagram post spread like wildfire
Kerala fast bowler Sreesanth maybe 37 years old but he still has a lot of cricket left in him. The cricket fraternity saw him making a sensational comeback to competitive cricket when he represented Kerala in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 tournament. The right-arm fast bowler picked up a wicket on his comeback match and celebrated it in a grand fashion.
He went on to represent the state in 5 games wherein he accounted for 4 dismissals to his name. His comeback was quite good and after gaining the much-needed confidence, he registered his name at the IPL 2021 auction for a base price of INR 75 lakh. However, no franchise showed interest to sign the pacer as he went unsold at the mini-auction in Chennai.
Needless to say, he is not giving up. Sreesanth hopes he could still make an entry in the Indian Premier League. We have seen IPL teams signing players in the middle phase of the tournament for various reasons. Players may get injured or they may have national commitments. In such cases, teams sign players in the middle of the lucrative IPL.
