He has taken 16 wickets in 8 matches in this year's Vijay Hazare Trophy and was ranked third in the list of highest wicket-takers. Sundar has been released by Royal Challengers Bangalore. This time a big bet can be placed on him in the auction.

Shivam has done well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He has taken 15 wickets in 7 matches. The star player from Uttar Pradesh took 4 wickets for 48 runs in a match against Delhi.

5.
