Mon Jan 27 14:40:00 IST 2025: ## Sydney Thunder’s Sangha Eyes Grand Final Glory After Injury Comeback

**Hobart, TAS** – Sydney Thunder batsman Jason Sangha is on the cusp of achieving his ultimate cricketing dream: a Big Bash League title. After a challenging journey marked by both highs and lows, including a devastating 15-run collapse against the Adelaide Strikers, Sangha is poised to lead his team to victory in Monday night’s BBL final.

Sangha, who joined the Thunder in 2018, has witnessed the team’s rollercoaster ride, including a strong BBL11 season where he scored 445 runs. However, the elusive championship trophy has remained out of reach. His recent return from a bicep injury, which he also suffered previously against NSW, further highlights his dedication.

Despite the setback, Sangha played a crucial role in the Thunder’s semi-final victory over cross-town rivals the Sydney Sixers, contributing a blistering 30 runs off 19 balls in his second match of the season. His performance was praised by teammate Sam Billings, who attributed his success to mental fortitude.

The 25-year-old’s resurgence has been amplified by a recent move to South Australia, where he made a stunning Sheffield Shield debut with a 151 against Tasmania. He sees this as a turning point in his career, stating that the change of scenery has rejuvenated him both personally and professionally.

“It’s been a long road,” Sangha said. “We’ve had tough times, but this group has stuck together. Now we’re in the final, and hopefully, we can bring some silverware back to western Sydney.”

The final against the Perth Scorchers promises to be an exciting culmination of Sangha’s journey, and a chance to finally secure the BBL title he so desperately craves.
