Tushar Deshpande got an opportunity in the Indian team after his terrific performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The fast bowler was one of the consistent performers for the team and what caught the attention of many was his ability to bowl in death.
Tushar Deshpande was amongst the leading wicket-takers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The fast bowler picked 17 wickets at an average of just over 24 and an economy of around 8. His ability to nail yorkers at the death was one of the highlights of his bowling.
Tushar Deshpande would be keen to make a huge impact with the ball in the ongoing game. The fast bowler would be hoping to carry his good form and take his team to the win. He's likely to perform the role at the death and it remains to be seen how he fares with the ball.
With India giving opportunities to a lot of youngsters in the team, Tushar Deshpande would be keen to make an impact with the ball and help his team win the game. The fast bowler would also want to seal his place in the team and continue playing for India in the format.
