Michael Bracewell is currently playing in the two-match Test series in New Zealand against Sri Lanka. However, recently he replaced the injured player Will Jacks in the Bangalore franchise for the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League in 2023. The franchise bought Jacks for a whopping amount of INR 3.2 Crores.

Now, the Kiwi all-rounder replaced the England star and he will join the team for his auction base price of INR 1 crore. Jacks sustained an injury while on tour for England in Bangladesh. But, now a video has gone viral from the second Test against Sri Lanka where Michael Bracewell was seen bowling a surprising delivery.

Here is the shared video:

“It's exciting he'll get a chance to take up the learning opportunities” - New Zealand head coach, Gary Stead on Michael Bracewell

Speaking of the video, the incident took place in the 121st over of Sri Lanka’s second innings. Bracewell was bowling while Pravath Jayasuriya was batting. On the third delivery, Michael Bracewell bowled and the ball ended up as a wide due to heavy wind in Wellington. The ball got extra drift due to the wind and it was so funny for the fans. The Kiwis won the second match by an inning and 58 runs. Bracewell took five wickets in the game. 

Due to his inclusion in the Bangalore franchise, he will now miss the ODI series against the Lankans. Rachin Ravindra has replaced him in the squad for the upcoming series. Regarding that, the New Zealand head coach, Gary Stead said: “Michael's been a key contributor to our white-ball teams since making his debut last year. It's exciting he'll get a chance to take up the learning opportunities the Indian T20 League provides - particularly as a spin bowling all-rounder. With a World Cup in India this year it's great to have players getting more experience in those conditions."
