Lamichanne will be the first Nepali cricketer to play in the IPL

A lot of people were left surprised when this 17-year-old leg spinner from Nepal was picked by the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL players auction, at his base price of 20 lakh.

He is the first Nepali cricketer to be a part of an IPL franchise in the 11-year history of the tournament.

He has an excellent googly in his arsenal which he will hope to deploy in the IPL this year. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke noticed his talent in the Hong Kong T20 Blitz in May 2016 and invited him to play club cricket in Australia.

Clarke's fondness for the leg-spinner could have influenced Delhi Daredevils coach Ricky Ponting into going for him at the auction. Lamichanne is a player to look out for in IPL 2018!
