Indian Stars Set for Stardom at ILT20 Season 4

The ongoing ILT20 Season 4 brings unrivalled limited-overs action to cricket fans during a packed calendar of international sporting events. Several established players from various countries are in the UAE to represent six (6) franchises in this edition. A handful of Indian stars form vital parts of batting and bowling departments at the fourth ILT20.

Let’s see the top Indian cricketers set to shine at this edition, and what they bring to UAE’s top franchise league.

1. Unmukt Chand (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders)

Unmukt Chand arrives at the ILT20 with a revamped profile after registering solid performance at international T20 leagues, including at US-based competitions. Chand delivers a decent mix of aggressive batting and mature on-pitch leadership as a youngster.

His experience as a youth cricket leader combined with natural finishing abilities and intellectual batting depth makes Chand one to watch at this tournament.

The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) will rely on Chand’s wicketkeeping acumen and batting prowess if they seek to progress deep into ILT20 knockouts.

2. Mayank Choudhary (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders)

The ADKR fields Mayank Choudhary as one of their major players for ILT20 Season 4. Choudhary’s reputation in UAE cricket will hinge on improved middle-order stability and occasional off-spin abilities if necessary. He is one of few batting all-rounders to watch at the ongoing ILT20 based on recent form and familiarity with local conditions.

3. Saurabh Netravalkar (Sharjah Warriorz)

Saurabh Netravalkar is an Indian-born leftie seamer who earned his name in North American cricket as a reliable pace option. Netravalkar can deliver hard deck-hitting balls while making batters uncomfortable with his movement extraction on slow wickets.

His experience also spreads to UAE conditions, and he could be one of the major players at this edition if his team progresses into the late stages.

4. Harmeet Singh (Sharjah Warriorz)

Harmeet Singh is an orthodox leftie spinner with ample experience of local conditions. Singh can deliver in the UAE with his knowledge of India’s domestic cricket circle. His spin control in middle-overs can prove vital to the Warriorz plans at this ILT20 edition.

5. Ritesh Mallikarjuna Grandhi (Dubai Capitals)

The Dubai Capitals signed Ritesh Grandhi before ILT20 Season 4. His batting knowledge and strike-rotation abilities will prove useful if the Capitals aim for a podium finish at this competition.
