Mumbai’s Tushar Despande with the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy
Speedster Tushar Deshpande, 27, who emerged Mumbai’s highest wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) with 17 scalps, is not going to compromise on his pace. Deshpande was not in the squad for last season’s Vijay Hazare Trophy and Ranji Trophy league games, but played a key role in helping Mumbai win their maiden SMAT title in Kolkata on Saturday.
“Prior to the start of this season, I told myself to be ready physically as this will be a full season. I didn’t want to miss any game and my aim was to play each and every match and help Mumbai win. In an interview to MCA [Mumbai Cricket Association, social media handles] last month I said I wanted to win a white-ball tournament by putting up my best performance. I am delighted to help Mumbai win the Mushtaq Ali Trophy,” Deshpande told mid-day on Sunday.
