Ashwani Kumar hails from Jhanjeri, a village in the Mohali district in Punjab. He belongs to a humble family that couldn't afford to pay for his cricket. He still found ways to go around districts in Punjab to play the game and earn a first-class debut at the age of 18. But then a hamstring injury took him off the field. Two seasons later, he returned to the Punjab side but got just one game in the Ranji Trophy and one in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Phil Salt has been blazing boundaries for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mitchell Starc wore the purple cap on Sunday after eight wickets in two appearances for Delhi Capitals.

And then there were ten. IPL 2025, at this stage, has just ten players from England. There were 12, but Harry Brook and Brydon Carse (injury) have withdrawn. Feels different from previous years, doesn't it? So, has the England players' attitude towards the IPL changed? Are they not good enough anymore, and the IPL franchises are just not interested in them? Is it something else?
