BBL 2021-22- Unmukt Chand on Big Bash League debut: Unmukt Chand, who has become the first Indian player to play in the Big Bash League (BBL), said it was a dream come true for him to play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Unmukt on Tuesday achieved the feat as he made his debut for the Melbourne Renegades against Hobart Hurricanes here at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. However, he failed to leave a mark as he scored just six runs in his first game. “It’s been a dream come true 2 play at the @MCG. Felt a childlike energy entering the G. Not the result we wanted, nonetheless, a gud outing. Hopefully can take a lot of +ves from this & apply on my next & coming adventures. Feels good 2 be back on the big stage,” Unmukt Chand tweeted.
