Young Jharkhand wicketkeeper Kumar Kushagra, known for his surprises since joining competitive cricket in 2016, made headlines at the IPL auction when he was bought by the Delhi Capitals for Rs 7.2 crore. The Capitals were looking for an Indian player to add to the back-ups for Rishabh Pant, and the selection of the 19-year-old came as a surprise. Scouts were impressed by Kushagra's unbeaten 37-ball 67 in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match.
