Nikhil Chaudhary making headlines in BBL
Nikhil Chaudhary stands out as one of the few Indian-born players participating in the BBL. The 27-year-old, originally from Punjab, has featured in four matches in the ongoing season for the Hurricanes, amassing 72 runs at a striking rate of 153.19.
Additionally, he has made a significant contribution with the ball, bowling two overs in the current clash against the Renegades and claiming the wicket of Quinton de Kock while conceding a total of 16 runs.
During the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL), where Lee served as a commentator, he was seen speaking to a couple of his fans in Hindi.
