Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla ended the 2006 under-19 World Cup as the leading wicket taker for India with 13 scalps in 6 matches and within a month, he made his debut for the nation side against England at Mohali. Next year, he made his ODI debut and was a part of the 2007 World T20 winning squad but didn't play a single match for MS Dhoni's men.

He is currently playing for Uttar Pradesh in the Indian domestic circuit, KKR in the IPL and has also played for Sussex and Somerset in the English county cricket.
