Mayank Markande

Markande is already the find of the season

Mayank Markande is a spin bowler from Punjab. He is a raw talent and has been bought by the Mumbai Indians for a price of Rs 20 Lakhs. He has become the best find of the season already.

Mayank hasn't played a single Ranji Trophy match for Punjab. He has only played for his state in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare trophy and was picked by Mumbai from nowhere.

Markande has picked up 11 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 17 and an economy rate of 7.73. He is also the holder of the Purple cap at present beating the likes of Tye, Bravo, Rashid Khan, Ashwin and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. He has definitely impressed one and all with his bowling and an Indian call-up may not be too far away.
