In the midst of their in-depth and intense discussions, they began discussing the fate of 35-year-old Sheldon Jackson and how KKR would fit the wicket-keeper batter within the team, especially when there were some other big foreign names like Sam Billings. And Aaron Finch said how can a foreign player like Sheldon Jackson be matched while on the team.
The problem with his discussion, however, is that Jackson plays Indian domestic cricket for Saurashtra, one of the most popular cricketers in the country and much talked about as a player, especially in the IPL round for the last 4-5 years. But most importantly, Shelton Jackson is an Indian cricketer from Bhavnagar, Gujarat!
He is set to play for Kolkata in this year’s IPL. Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will clash in the first match tomorrow. In this case, the match was discussed on one of India’s leading television channels. One of the senior journalists who attended the event at the time mentioned Shelton Jackson 3 times in a row in the list of foreign players.
