IPL history: Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad - Where are they now?

#2 Balachandra Akhil

Balachandra Akhil had also played for Royal Challengers Bangalore

Kochi Tuskers Kerala had signed Karnataka-born domestic all-rounder Balachandra Akhil ahead of the 2011 IPL season. The medium pace bowling all-rounder represented the Kochi Tuskers Kerala in only one match. The all-rounder's services proved to be ineffective against the Delhi Daredevils, as he leaked 21 runs in his 2 wicketless overs, along with scoring only 13 runs with the bat.

Akhil played for his home state, Karnataka in the domestic circuit from 1998 to 2009 however, he never got a chance to play for India at the international level. Akhil was a part of the Kannada commentary panel for the 2018 IPL season along with the likes of Sunil Joshi and Gundappa Vishwanath.

The all-rounder is now 40 years old and his last major appearance in the cricket field was as the captain of Karnataka Premier League franchise, Namma Shivamogga.
