Chennai Super Kings pacer Tushar Deshpande who was picked for just 20 lakhs played a crucial role in CSK’s title win. In 16 matches the Mumbai pacer picked up 21 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of under 10. Deshpande has 83 wickets in 59 matches in T20s and 80 wickets in 29 matches in first-class cricket.

In his 30-match T20 career, Madhwal has picked up 15 wickets. He has picked 12 wickets in his first-class career so far.

The pacer from Bengal, Mukesh Kumar, was picked up by the Delhi Capitals for a whopping 5.5 crores for his bowling expertise in the domestic circuit. Mukesh has done well for India ‘A’ and has also been a part of the India squad already on a number of occasions. Kumar was a part of India’s squad for South Africa, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand series last year but didn’t get a game throughout. He was also a part of the WTC Final squad as a reserve pacer. His previous inclusions in India’s squad are an indicator of his long-due debut which could very well happen in the upcoming West Indies series.
