Kerala’s Mohammed Azharuddeen was over the moon after the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) picked him up at his base price of INR 20 lakhs during the auction that took place on February 18 in Chennai. The 26-year-old batsman made his T20 debut in 2016, but it’s only in the 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he managed to hog the limelight.
In the tournament, he scored 214 runs from five games at an average and strike-rate of 53.50 and 194.54 respectively. The right-hander also scored an unbeaten 54-ball 137 against Mumbai, taking his team to an eight-wicket victory.
After the Challengers secured his services, Azharuddeen revealed how Virat Kohli, the RCB skipper, dropped him a text message. Hailing Virat as a ‘cricket icon’, Azharuddeen sounded excited to play under the 32-year-old’s leadership.
CricTracker caught up with the dashing opener for a rapid-fire chit chat.
Watch out. #Azharuddeen #IPL2021 #RCB
