Rajasthan Royals spinner Adam Zampa was a last-minute change replacing Trent Boult for the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday. The decision to include Zampa proved to be simply miraculous as the Aussie leg-spinner excelled against MS Dhoni’s men at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Zampa picked up three wickets conceding just 22 runs to earn a much-needed win for Rajasthan last night. The Aussie spinner scripted an impressive economy rate of 7.33 after bowling three overs in the match. Zampa dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway and Moeen Ali to put Chennai under immense pressure during the run chase. The 31-year-old, quite understandably, was praised by fans on Twitter.
