The Major League Cricket (MLC) has been attracting many spectators. The star-studded tournament takes place in the United States of America. The West Indian star spinner, Akeal Hosein, has been stealing the spotlight for some time now. Acquired by the Texas Super Kings, Akeal Hosein’s game-changing performance earned the Super Kings a heroic win over the MI New York. The Texas Super Kings were leaking at least 10 runs per over when the Trinidadian spinner displayed his prowess with the ball by delivering an economy below 4 runs per over. With this, his 12-year-old tweet mentioning Indian ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has resurfaced.
“One Day…I’d Like To Become A Player Like Him..”, the Trinidadian wrote on his official X, formerly Twitter, mentioning Ravindra Jadeja.

12 Year Old Tweet Resurfaces
Jadeja, who is now 36 years old and might be nearing retirement, has been one of the most prolific members of the Indian squad across every format. From contributing to the 2024 T20 World Cup win to retaining the spot of the podium for the World’s number 1 all-rounder in the longest format of the game. Also, when Akeal Hosein posted in 2013, India emerged as the winner for the Champions Trophy edition. He was also the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 12 wickets.
Akeal’s 4-over Match Changing Spell
In this year’s MLC, Akeal Hosein has already played two games for Texas Super Kings and conceded 5 wickets with a mind-boggling economy rate of 3.57. He produced a three-wicket spell last night against New York.
Batting first, TSK amassed 223 runs in return for 4 wickets. MI had no choice but to hit some big shots right at the beginning of their innings. They were executing their strategy nicely until Akeal joined the party to ruin it. He picked wickets and kept a lid on the run rate. At the end, TSK won the game by 39 runs.
