Nikhil Chaudhary has become a popular name in the BBL in recent weeks. The second Indian-born cricketer to play in the BBL, Nikhil has been brilliant with the bat. He is also a decent spinner, which makes him a utility asset for his side. Not long ago, he was playing for Punjab in some local tournaments. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three IPL teams that could target Nikhil Chaudhary in the future.
1) Mumbai Indians
Not many know that Nikhil had once attended trials for Mumbai Indians. However, it did not end successfuly. Usually, not many talented cricketers go past the eyes of the MI scouts.
Mumbai could still make amends by signing the cricketer. He would fit the philosophy of the side. Hence, Mumbai Indians are also on this list.
2) Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is one of the IPL teams that could target Nikhil Chaudhary in the future. PBKS is one franchise that pays great value to the local players. In every auction, the team ensures at least one or two names from the state get a chance in the IPL.
Now, Nikhil was a part of the Punjab setup a few years ago. Yes, he might be an overseas signing but he can be a good option for the franchise. The team anyways needs spin-bowling all-rounders and Nikhil can be a good option for the side in the future.
3) Delhi Capitals
Ricky Ponting is the Head of Strategy at Hobart Hurricanes, the outfit that currently employs Nikhil Chaudhary. Ponting is also the Head Coach of Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
While there is a connection on this side, it also needs to be noted that Nikhil is a Delhi-born cricketer. Hence, it would not be a surprise if he joined DC in the future. The owners could also try him in the ILT20 first.
