From being a net bowler for the Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise to picking up the Man-of-the-Match award in his debut IPL game against the Delhi Daredevils, which included the wickets of Virender Sehwag and Y Venugopal Rao, Kochi paceman Prasanth Parameswaran has taken his first steps towards national recognition. Nihal Koshie in the Indian Express tracks Parameswaran's journey.
The excitement in Parameswaran's voice is hard to miss when he speaks about the day he got spotted by Lawson. "I wanted to impress people be cause all the big players were around. But frankly, initially, I didn't expect to be picked. I knew that coach Lawson was happy with the way I bowled in the nets. But getting a contract with Kochi Tuskers Kerala was unexpected," Parameswaran added.
