The Uttar Pradesh-born spinner dismissed both openers, <\/span><b>Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, before removing <\/span><b>KL Rahul<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, making an immediate impact. However, despite his heroics, <\/span><b>DC are well on course for victory at 119\/3 in 12 overs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with <\/span><b>Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs at the crease<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A long road to the IPL<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ansari\u2019s journey to the IPL has been one of patience and persistence. He was part of <\/span><b>India\u2019s 2016 U-19 World Cup squad<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, featuring alongside stars like <\/span><b>Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, and Sarfaraz Khan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. However, his rise to the big stage took time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The young leg-spinner caught the attention of IPL franchises after a stellar performance in the inaugural <\/span><b>UP T20 League<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, where he topped the wicket charts with <\/span><b>24 scalps in 12 games at an economy of 7.60<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. His ability to deceive batters with his <\/span><b>googlies and variations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made him a standout performer, especially in pressure situations. In the <\/span><b>UP T20 final<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, he showcased his skill with a <\/span><b>disciplined spell of 1\/20 in four overs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, helping <\/span><b>Meerut Mavericks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> clinch the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dream IPL debut, but DC in control<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given the chance to debut in IPL 2025, <\/span><b>Ansari repaid the faith shown in him<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. He removed <\/span><b>Fraser-McGurk (26) and du Plessis (22)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> early, disrupting DC\u2019s strong start. Later, he claimed the big wicket of <\/span><b>KL Rahul (17)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, leaving Delhi momentarily rattled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, despite his efforts, DC remain in command, needing <\/span><b>just 45 more runs in eight overs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. With <\/span><b>Porel and Stubbs settled<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Delhi are well-positioned to secure the win, but Ansari\u2019s performance has given SRH a bright spot to build on.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s young leg-spinner, Zeeshan Ansari, announced himself in style, claiming 3\/28 in his debut IPL match against Delhi Capitals\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":385,"featured_media":42359,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/385"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
