After nine long years of ban, Kerala pacer S Sreesanth returned to cricket and celebrated his first wicket in first-class cricket in a different manner.
He picked up his first wicket in first-class cricket after nine years when he dismissed Aryan Bora in the Ranji Trophy match against Meghalaya and gave his “Pranaam” to the cricket pitch.
After taking the wicket, Sreesanth was seen lying down on the ground and kissing the pitch. Sreesanth registered figures of 2 for 40 in his 11.5 overs in the first innings but did not take any wickets in the second innings.

“Now that’s my 1st wicket after 9 long years..gods grace I was just overjoyed and giving my Pranaam to the wicket .. #grateful #cricket #ketalacricket #bcci #india #Priceless,” Sreesanth captioned the video of his celebration.
Sreesanth is playing first-class cricket for the first time since 2013. The 38-year-old has 213 wickets in FC cricket, which includes six five-wicket hauls as well.
Sreesanth was serving a life ban from cricket for his alleged involvement in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, which was reduced to 7 years after several appeals. Sreesanth, who featured in 27 Tests, 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is for Team India, last played international cricket in August 2011.
