'Wicketkeeper' became 'Muralitharan' when old

Nicholas Murali Puran'. Ian Bishop's tweet probably says it all. Muttiah Muralitharan seems to have become the West Indies captain against the Pakistan batsmen in Multan today!
10 overs, 48 ​​runs, 4 wickets — the bowling figure is not bad at all. However, the reason for calling him 'Muralitharan' is not just a bowling figure. Today he got the first wicket in his international career, he got the fourth one today! After such bowling of wicketkeeper Puran, who will not compare him with Murali! Today, West Indies are playing with two recognized spinners. However, Akil Hossain is a left-arm spinner and Hayden Walsh is a junior leg-spinner. In front of two left-arm batsmen Fakhar and Imam-ul-Haq at the crease, the off-spinner Puran himself left. He came to bowl for the first time in the 13th over of the match, after a while Bajimat did! Puran got the first wicket of his international career by bowling Fakhar in his third over. He hit a double in the 23rd over. Imam, who scored 72 runs, was the first to catch him, while Mohammad Haris, who got confused after one ball, was also his victim. Mohammad Rizwan also came back in the next over, which is Puran's fourth wicket in the match. From 75 without a wicket, Pakistan then became 117 runs for 5 wickets - the main achievement of the collapse is the old! This is Puran's 100th match in his international career. But before that he was seen taking the ball in hand only once in 99 matches. By the time Puran was bowled in the ODI against Australia in Bridgetown in 2021, then captain Kieron Pollard, the rate of West Indies is almost certain. He made 3 balls, in which Australia reached the target of 153 runs given by West Indies with 6 runs. In international cricket, the first wicket is seen today, but in competitive cricket, the old wicket has been seen once before. That is in first class cricket. West Indies 'A' team toured New Zealand in December 2020. New Zealand 'A' was building run-hills on Mount Manganui. Came as the eighth bowler, did one over. Mark Chapman got the wicket in that over. The old man who would take one, two, three and four wickets today, did he think it himself!
