MOHAMMED AZHARUDDEEN (KERALA)
Young Mohammad Azharuddeen of Kerala can be potentially called the find of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2020-21 given that he was the standout performer from his team.
Though Kerala couldn’t go into the knockout round, Azharuddeen did enough to impress potential scouts of IPL franchises for the upcoming IPL 2021 auction. He made 214 runs in 5 matches with the highest score of 137* which came against Mumbai.
