Afer claiming only six wickets in 11 games in two IPL seasons, Siddarth Kaul turned the tables in 2017 and emerged as Sunrisers Hyderabad's main bowling weapon. In 10 games he picked 16 wickets and that too at a strike rate of 13.37.
The impressive bowling stint in 2017 brought Kaul into the limelight but this was not the first time he had delivered with the ball. The right-arm pacer debuted almost a decade back in 2007/08 and since then has remained a strike bowler for Punjab. He has featured in 45 first-class games and has 163 wickets to his name.
The 2016 Ranji season was the breakthrough moment for him as he picked 35 wickets in eight games and was also drafted in Rest of India's squad for the Irani Cup. In that game, he picked eight wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings and stamped his dominance.
In the recently concluded tri-series, he was a star performer for India A team as he claimed eight wickets in four matches. Thus, since the last couple of seasons, Kaul is in red-hot form and he can be certainly tested in international cricket.
