It was great relief for Tamil Nadu left-arm spinner M. Siddharth as he finally found his way back into the IPL fold after not being part of the competition for the last two years.
The 25-year-old Siddharth has consistently performed in the TNPL and got his first IPL break in 2020 with Kolkata Knight Riders before joining Delhi Capitals in 2021. However, an injury in 2021 meant he missed the second phase of the tournament held in the UAE. Since then, he got close to the IPL only as a net bowler for Mumbai Indians (2022) and Chennai Super Kings (2023).
On Tuesday, Lucknow Super Giants paid ₹2.4 crore to acquire Siddharth.
