Basil Thampi

The young pacer from Kerala was a sensation for Gujarat Lions in IPL 2017, where he troubled opponent batsmen with his fiery yorkers and well-directed bouncers. He ended up as Gujarat's second highest wicket-taker in 2017 with 11 wickets. He was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2018 auctions to add firepower to their bowling arsenal.

In the recently concluded game of SRH vs RCB, he was smashed all over the park by RCB duo of AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali and ended up with an unwanted record of the most expensive spell in IPL. In his spell of four overs, he conceded 70 runs that included 5 fours and 6 sixes. Overall, he has been quite expensive in IPL 2018, picking up 11 wickets from 12 IPL matches at an awful economy of 9.49 runs per over.

One can hope that the youngster will overcome these spells and show the might of his fiery yorkers and make the opponent batsmen dance to his tunes.
