RR pacer Chetan Sakariya is the real deal, took us all by surprise in IPL 2021: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra was so impressed with Chetan Sakariya that he picked him as one of the three finds of the suspended IPL 2021 along with pacers Avesh Khan (Delhi Capitals) and Harshal Patel (Royal Challengers Bangalore).

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels Rajasthan Royals have unearthed a real gem of a pacer in Chetan Sakariya, who made an impressive debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Sakarya, who was bought for Rs 1.20 crore at the IPL auction by the Royals, only picked 7 wickets from as many games but the 23-year-old left-arm pacer from Saurashtra did manage to catch the attention of the cricketing fraternity with his variations and discipline.
