RAIPUR: Budding right-arm fast-medium bowler from Chhattisgarh Sai Painkra, 20, has got a call from Mumbai Indians (MI), the most successful team in Indian Premier League history having won five times, as a net bowler after he impressed MI’s director of cricket operations and former India pace spearhead Zaheer Khan.
Even as he has not played much for Chhattisgarh in the domestic tournaments organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India except an U-19 tournament and recently held U-25 One Day tournament and getting only one match to play, his consistency with pace had attracted MI management.
