U-19 Star Devendran Blasts 146 KPH in TNPL
21 Aug
Summary
- Deepesh Devendran bowls at nearly 150 km/hr in TNPL.
- He credits faster pace to heavier workload and mentor.
- IPL franchises are monitoring his impressive performances.
India's U-19 fast bowler, Deepesh Devendran, is demonstrating exceptional pace in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), with deliveries reaching close to 150 km/hr. He recently recorded a searing 146 km/hr delivery, an inswinging yorker that dismantled the stumps of Jafar Jamal.
Devendran credits his significant jump in speed to a more intensive bowling workload during the off-season and invaluable advice from his mentor, Sandeep Warrier. This raw velocity, coupled with his ability to vary pace and deliver effective slower off-cutters, has attracted the attention of various IPL franchises.
The fast bowler's current TNPL performances mirror the recent ascents of other express bowlers like Ashok Sharma and Mayank Yadav, suggesting Devendran is a talent selectors will be closely observing in the coming months.
