LPL 2023: 5 lesser-known faces that bagged big bucks at auction
These little-known players hit the headlines for bagging lucrative deals at the maiden LPL auction.
1. Dilshan Madushanka
Dilshan Madushanka became the costliest player at the LPL 2023 auction as Jaffna Kings purchased him for USD 92000. In the previous edition, Jaffna gave him a chance to feature in just a few games but this year, the defending champions might give the pacer a chance to represent them in the entire season.
Madushanka’s record is impressive in Sri Lanka’s domestic circle.
Combining his List A and T20 numbers, he has picked up 41 wickets in 30 games. Talking about his T20I bowling numbers, the 22-year-old has grabbed 12 wickets in 11 contests at an economy of 9.80, with the best bowling innings of 3/24.
Sri Lanka supporters also remember Madushanka for his disciplined bowling against India in the 2022 Asia Cup. Playing the crucial game against the Men in Blue, the young pacer powered Sri Lanka to a six-wicket triumph, with his bowling figures of 4-0-24-3. This year, he will be one of the important players for Jaffna to defend their title.
