  "account": "A remarkable left-arm spinner named Sai Kishore has found himself at odds with the English cricket scene, despite his consistent performances in domestic matches. In the middle of the English summer, his video dismissal of Brett D Oliveira during a Worcestershire game went viral, with fans praising his delivery. Another viral moment came when Ben Stokes was outwitted by Sai Kishore, who took five wickets for six runs in one spell against Derbyshire. Despite these impressive performances, Sai Kishore was not picked for India's Duleep Trophy, Rest of India, or the T20I squads, leaving him in County Division II in England. While his domestic records and IPL performances have been impressive, it seems his career may be following a similar path to that of fellow off-spinner Jalaj Saxena, who also struggled to break through despite his impressive wicket hauls.",
