5 players to watch out for from the 2017 Deodhar Trophy

1.Pankaj Kumar Rao

Sometimes it is not the IPL that throws up unknown names who become stars. The domestic circuit also tends to provide new names who become the focus of attention when the matches begin.

One such name is that of Pankaj Kumar Rao, the Chattisgarh cricketer who has suddenly started to gather talk among the community. The 27-year-old gave a good account of himself in the Vijay Hazare Trophy recently when he took 15 wickets against some fine opposition to make people take note of him.

He did not have the greatest of times in the T20 format in terms of wickets taken but he did show that he could be someone to keep an eye out for in the future.

Picked to play for the India Blue side, Pankaj will surely look to put a good show in front of some senior Indian cricketers.
