IPL 2025: Tanush Kotian, an all-around player, becomes a net bowler for the Punjab Kings

Tanush Kotian, an all-rounder from Mumbai who is well-known in the domestic circuit, has been invited by the Punjab Kings. The 26-year-old has been putting up steady performances in domestic cricket and is a useful hitter down the order and a competent off-spinner. Prior to the match against the reigning champs, the young cricket player recently joined the team as a net bowler. With Yuzvendra Chahal, Harpreet Brar, and Praveen Dubey, the Kings already have a diverse group of spinners. The team’s demands will be more varied because to Kotian’s off-spinners, which will also assist them counter the Knight Riders’ elite spin attack.

A lot of planning is already on for the forthcoming match between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS), which will be played at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.

Kotian’s inclusion in the team might be attributed to a number of factors, including the presence of prominent Mumbai players Shreyas Iyer and Musheer Khan, who had both played a lot of cricket with Kotian this season. Kotian, who regrettably failed to sell at the IPL 2025 big auction despite his impressive domestic circuit results, has a fantastic opportunity here. The all-round player was a member of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 team and had previously played for the Rajasthan Royals.
