On Sunday, Sandeep Lamichhane made history when he became the first Nepali to be picked for the IPL. Now that he has been picked, Lamichhane has the potential not just to change his destiny but also that of Nepali cricket. Mumbai Indians exercised the Right to Match for Krunal after a bidding war broke out between Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Krunal remaining at Mumbai Indians also means that he and his brother Hardik Pandya will turn out for the same IPL team again. Delhi left-arm pacer Kulwant Khejroliya, who was a waiter in Goa not long ago, was picked up by RCB for Rs 85 lakh.
