There is a popular opinion that the cricketers coming from Telugu land will not get good opportunities. One can hardly name the Telugu players representing the country. Right now there is only one player in international cricket. Hanuma Vihari is the sole Telugu cricketer right now.
Not only Indian cricket, but it also looks like Telugu cricketers were not given preference in the IPL tournament as well. The reason for this is, only a few players were picked by the franchises in the recently held mega auction.
KS Bharat:
This Telugu player attracted everyoneâs attention with his performance in local cricket and his stint with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. On the grounds of performances, he was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 2 crore, which is ten folds of his base price.
Ashwin Hebbar:
After stunning performances with the bat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for consecutive tournaments, while representing his home state Andhra Pradesh, Ashwin Hebbar was given a call into IPL by Delhi Capitals. Though he was bought for a base price, this is going to be a big platform for him.
Tilak Varma(Mumbai Indians), CV Milind(Royal Challengers Bangalore), Bhagath Varma(Chennai Super Kings), and Rahul Buddhi(Mumbai Indians) were other Telugu players who were picked by the franchises in IPL.
What is making the Telugu cricket fans angry is that, forget about other teams, SRH which has Hyderabad in its name also did not bid for any Telugu players.
