Murugan Ashwin
The IPL has a tendency of making millonaires out of unknowns overnight. The latest beneficiary to this trend has been Murugan Ashwin, an obscure talent from Chennai. He took the second most number of wickets for Tamil Nadu in last year's Syed Mushtaq Trophy.
The Rising Pune Supergiants, one of the two franchises debuting this season, bought him for an astounding 4.5 crores in the auctions this February.
Before being picked for the IPL side, Murugan had featured in just three first-class matches and two List A matches for Tamil Nadu. The 25-year old is from the same college as his more established namesake, Ravichandran Ashwin.
He made his mark in his first match this IPL, giving away just 16 runs from his four-over quota, picking up the wicket of Shreyas Gopal in the process. Sourav Ganguly believes that batsmen will take time to pick Ashwin, and he might turn out to be a mystery bowler for the Pune team.
