T20 WC: ‘Dreamt Of Playing In Chennai As A Kid,’ Says USA’s Mukkamalla After Fiery 79 Against The Netherlands
T20 World Cup: After anchoring the innings with a superb 79 to power USA to 196/6 against the Netherlands in a Group A clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Saiteja Mukkamalla said playing in front of a packed crowd at Chepauk was a childhood dream fulfilled.
Mukkamalla’s 51-ball 79, studded with five fours and four sixes, laid the foundation for USA’s imposing total after they were asked to bat first. Displaying composure through the middle overs and accelerating at the right time, the right-hander ensured his side seized control of the contest.
Reflecting on the opportunity to perform on a big stage, Mukkamalla said, “It's always a great opportunity to represent the USA, and I just wanted to come out here and enjoy it, especially at this venue. I've always watched (matches at Chepauk) growing up, so I just wanted to come out and express myself.”
