Desert Vipers’ captain Lockie Ferguson strikes on his first ball in ILT20

The ball, delivered at 136 kph, showcased Ferguson’s ability to deceive batters with subtle variations in pace. Pitched on a full length just outside the off stump, the delivery angled in sharply, exploiting the seam movement to perfection. Clarke, attempting an expansive drive, failed to account for the inward movement and ended up playing down the wrong line. The result was spectacular – the ball evaded Clarke’s bat and uprooted his leg stump, leaving him stunned and the crowd roaring. This precise and devastating delivery highlighted Ferguson’s ability to adapt his skills to any situation, underlining his value as a genuine game-changer. It was a perfect start for Ferguson, setting the tone for an impactful ILT20 campaign.
