5 best signings of the Tamil Nadu Premier League

#3 Murugan Ashwin

Murugan Ashwin was one of the most talked about player in last season’s IPL. He came up with a couple of special performances which made him a household name. His spells against Kings XI Punjab (3/36) and Gujrat Lions (2/31) helped Rising Pune Super Giants to a great extent.

The leg-spinner’s partnership with international star Ravichandran Ashwin will definitely give Jolly Rovers an added advantage over other teams, as it had earlier done when they represented Rising Pune Supergiants in IPL 2016.

In this year’s IPL, Rising Pune Supergiants’ Captain M.S.Dhoni actually made more use of Murugan Ashwin than Ravichandran Ashwin. He was taken by the Pune-based franchise in the IPL for 4.5 crores, his base price at the beginning being 10 lakhs.
