Chetan Sakariya has made his name while playing against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. He has also represented India in ODI and two T20I matches.

While Mukesh Chaudhary played a big part in the absence of regular pacer Deepak Chahar (who got ruled out due to injury) for the CSK. He was given the responsibility to bowl with a new ball and in 13 matches, he scalped 16 wickets which also made him the second-highest wicket-taker for the four-time IPL champions.

The Indian duo will train at the Bupa National Cricket Centre and also join the Queensland Bull’s pre-season preparations. As per the tournament, both the pacers, Sakariya and Chaudhary will spend time in Brisbane next month because of an exchange with the MRF Pace Academy. Notably, the player and coaching exchanges between MRF Pace Academy and Cricket Australia have been taking place for more than 20 years. Covid-19 paused this exchange and it will resume now.
