Birmingham Bears ke khilaaf match mein, jab lag raha tha ki Steelbacks haar jayenge, Ben Sanderson ne apni teekhi bowling se khel palat diya. Unhone chaar balls mein teen wickets le kar apni team ko chhati seedhi jeet dilayi. Is saal ke tournament mein unke wickets ka score ab 17 ho gaya hai. Yeh shandaar performance hai, lekin cricket ka khel aisa hai jahan ek galti bhi sab kuch bigaad sakti hai.
Steelbacks ek aisi team hai jo bade naam wali teams ke saamne hamesha chhoti maani jaati hai. Lekin 2025 ke Vitality Blast mein unhone sabko galat saabit kiya. Web sources ke mutabiq, Steelbacks ne ab tak har match jeeta hai, aur Sanderson ismein ek bada naam ban kar ubhre hain. X par ek fan ne likha, “Ben Sanderson is on fire! 3 wickets in 4 balls, what a legend! #Steelbacks”. Dusre ne kaha, “Steelbacks proving they’re no pushovers! Sanderson leading the charge 🏏🔥”. Yeh dikhata hai ki fans mein bhi unke liye ek alag hi junoon hai. Sanderson ki yeh performance yaad dilati hai 2009 ke T20 World Cup mein, jab Umar Gul ne Pakistan ke liye ek over mein 5 wickets le kar khel badal diya tha. Aise hi, Sanderson ne Bears ke bade batsmen jaise Moeen Ali ko out kiya, jo unki himmat dikhata hai.
Sanderson ke teen wickets ke alawa, Steelbacks ke batsmen ne bhi apna rang dikhaya. Web reports ke anusar, Justin Broad ne 58 runs aur Matthew Breetzke ne 47 runs banaye, jisse team ne ek mazboot score khada kiya. Birmingham Bears, jo ek badi team hai, ke paas Jacob Bethell aur Dan Mousley jaise players the, lekin Steelbacks ke saamne woh tik nahi sake. Yeh jeet Steelbacks ke liye ek bada moment hai, kyunki Bears jaise teams ke khilaaf jeetna asaan nahi hota. Yeh baat yaad dilati hai 2016 ke T20 Blast mein, jab Steelbacks ne Durham ke khilaaf semi-final mein shandaar jeet haasil ki thi, David Willey ke all-round performance ki wajah se.
Steelbacks ka yeh safar dekh kar dil khush ho jata hai. Ek chhoti si team, jo bade players ya bade budget ke sahaare nahi khelti, apne junoon aur mehnat se aage badh rahi hai. Sanderson jaise players unke liye ek ummeed ki kiran hain. Lekin cricket mein kuch bhi guaranteed nahi hota. Ek chhota sa slip, jaise Worcestershire ke khilaaf unka slow start, unhe tournament se bahar kar sakta hai. Steelbacks ko apni yeh form baaki matches mein bhi jari rakhni hogi, warna yeh sapna toot bhi sakta hai.
