"After toiling away in club cricket and domestic cricket for years, Jayden Lennox earned his international debut in Rajkot and made an immediate impression"
Jayden Lennox lit up Rajkot with a composed ODI debut for New Zealand, strangling India's top order alongside skipper Michael Bracewell in a tight 10-0-42-1 spell.
The 31-year-old from Hawke's Bay, after years grinding in club and Central Districts cricket, cramped Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma for room without overpitching once. His control outbowled India's spinners, marking sweet international success after domestic toils.
From Domestic Grind to Global Stage
Lennox's journey from provincial fields to Saurashtra's lights embodies Kiwi grit. Partnering Bracewell seamlessly, he kept things tight in the second ODI of New Zealand's India tour. That maiden scalp and economical stint have Black Caps buzzing.
With more games ahead, Lennox's composure hints at a bright future. India felt the heat from this late bloomer.
