Unmukt Chand

Unmukt Chand, India’s Under-19 World Cup-winning captain had a hard initiation to the IPL back in 2012. Facing the Knight Riders, He was done by a fierce delivery that cracked the stump, from Brett Lee, shattering the batter’s confidence. Now, he gears up to play for the same Knight Riders team in a different country and will hope to show that he is a changed player from what he was back then.
