After a long wait, India’s Unmukt Chand finally got the chance to make his Big Bash League (BBL) debut for Melbourne Renegades on Tuesday. The elegant right-hand batter, who retired from Indian cricket last year

However, Unmukt’s BBL debut didn’t quite go according to plan as he was out dismissed for just 6 runs against the Hobart Hurricanes at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. Walking in at No.4 with Renegades 132/2 chasing Hurricanes’ 182/5 with five overs remaining, the batter had the chance to be his team’s hero in his very first outing. But it wasn’t to be.

The player attempted to clear the boundary ropes but the shot was not timed well and found the fielder at deep midwicket. and his innings was cut short. The Melbourne Renegades did not capitalize on their start and lost the game despite half-centuries from both skipper Aaron Finch (75) and Shaun Marsh (51).

Meanwhile, this has been a very disappointing campaign for Melbourne Renegades. The Reds have won only three of their 13 matches and are currently reeling at the bottom of the points table. The Hobart Hurricanes won the toss and elected to bat first, posting a brilliant score of 182/5 on board. In response, the Renegades were riding well but in the end, failed to cross the line suffering a six-run defeat after finishing 176/6 in 20 overs.
