Earlier, KKR had shocked the fans by taking Pravin Tambe in their side during IPL 2020 auction. So, the fans can expect another surprising step from any of the eight franchises going ahead. During an interview, Nayan Doshi looked pretty excited and said that he is ready to play for any side in IPL 2021. The left-arm spinner added he wants to prove his cricket playing caliber and will do whatever it takes to perform at any stage. And, 42-year-old asserted that his father was the reason behind him registering for the IPL 2021 auction. As per him, his father forced him to start playing cricket once again.

“I am ready, and I am bowling the best. I love the game, and I want a chance to prove myself again. When it comes to cricket, I want my dad to see and check (how I am performing). I decided in January that I am going to start playing again. My dad gave me a couple of weeks. I wouldn’t take too many opinions. My dad being my dad, if I wasn’t bowling up to the mark, he would just say ‘don’t do this,” said Doshi.

Doshi has some prolific numbers in domestic cricket. He has grabbed 166 wickets in 71 first-class games. Meanwhile, he has also taken 64 wickets in 74 lists A games. Coming onto the shorter format, he has managed 68 scalps in 52 appearances at an excellent average of just 6.80.
