Ever since the IPL’s 2023 edition, Mukesh Kumar has evolved from being a fringe player to having earned the rare distinction of making his international debut across all three formats in the same series. Besides, the pacer has been unveiled in a new avatar — that of a death overs specialist — by Delhi Capitals.
The manner in which Mukesh — who relies on seam as his key arsenal, at least in the red-ball format — is being used in a new role may have surprised quite a few people, but the pacer himself was ready for the challenge.
“I was told last season to be prepared for bowling at the death, so I was doing accordingly,” said Mukesh during a round-table chat organised by the franchise.
