The 25-year-old claimed the IPL title with newbies Gujarat Titans and then tasted success in Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) as well.
Newbies Gujarat Titans dominated the inaugural IPL season, winning the championship by defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final. The tournament debutants lay their hands on the elusive title in front of a home crowd in Ahmedabad, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya revelling in his new role as captain and Ashish Nehra excelling as Titans’ head coach. Pandya and Nehra had a plethora of pace bowlers at their disposal, with Mohammed Shami spearheading the attack. Rashid Khan, with his leg-spin in the middle overs, was the enforcer when it came to spin bowling.
While Rashid worked his magic with a lot of wrong’uns and quick deliveries, left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore also made an impression, thanks to his height and pace, which allowed him to extract more from the surface. The 25-year-old won the IPL with the Titans and then went on to win the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). He won it with Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG).
He may not have played a single game at the biggest level but Sai Kishore feels bowling to players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has helped him asses his skill-set. The lanky tweaker was a part of the Indian contingent when it toured England for the much-delayed fifth Test. He also played the warm-up game against Leicestershire where he plucked the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara – a player known for his sound technique and ability to play spin bowling effectively.
“It gives you a lot of confidence and feedback on how the international level is. It’s been a blessing because I’ve been able to bowl at Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma. When I was on these tours of Sri Lanka and West Indies, I was able to look at a lot of players and see where my game stands. If I can trouble these guys, I can trouble all batters,” he told
