MUMBAI: IPL 2025 is important to many players. One of them is definitely Mumbai's seasoned pacer Tushar Deshpande. Having been sidelined for the last six months due to an ankle injury which required surgery, the 29-year-old fast bowler, who has been consistent across formats and tournaments in the past few seasons, will look to put in a power-packed performance which catapults him into contention for the England tour this summer.
Having done exceedingly well for the Chennai Super Kings, where he was the legendary MS Dhoni's go-to bowler, Deshpande will this season turn out for a new team, the Rajasthan Royals, where he will play under batting great and former India head coach Rahul Dravid.
