Uncertainty Clouds loom over the participation over Mohsin and Mukesh in the upcoming season of the Indian T20 League

Two rookie left-arm pacers, Mukesh Choudhary (26) and Moshin Khan (24), who exceeded expectations in the 2022 Ind T20 League are facing a stroke of bad luck as they nurse injuries and may miss the upcoming season. Choudhary played for Chennai while Moshin played for Lucknow. Both players were bought for the base price of Rs 20 lakhs each and managed to impress critics and pundits with their pace, penetration, and fighting spirit last year.

Choudhary claimed 16 wickets in 13 games and was even in the running for the season's best award. However, Chennai's CEO, Kasi Viswanathan, confirmed that they do not hold out much hope for him as he is currently undergoing rehab for a back injury at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. Choudhary has been around in the domestic circuit for seven years but has only played 13 first-class games, mostly being considered for white-ball matches. He played a few List A games for his home state Maharashtra after the Ind T20 League season but has been out of action since December.

Moshin, on the other hand, played nine Ind T20 League games last season and claimed 14 wickets with an impressive economy rate of less than six (5.97). He played for Lucknow and was one of their star performers, helping them make it to the playoffs in their debut season. Moshin's timely strikes in consecutive matches against Punjab(3/24) and Delhi (4/16) strengthened Lucknow's position in the points table, and his performance in the Delhi game earned him the MoM award.

Currently practicing with the franchise in Lucknow, Moshin hopes to be part of the season at some stage, but Lucknow officials were not willing to make any predictions about his availability. The Ind T20 League season begins on March 31.
