Dream11 IPL 2020: Shreyas Gopal on the verge of overtaking Munaf Patel and Pravin Tambe
Shreyas Gopal represents Karnataka in Indian domestic cricket. He made his debut in the 2014 season for Mumbai. However, he was roped in by the Rajasthan franchise ahead of the 2018 edition and has remained a part of their side ever since. Since his Rajasthan debut, Shreyas Gopal has played 27 matches for the franchise where he bagged 32 wickets. He is currently placed at No.8 among Rajasthan’s most successful IPL bowlers of all time.
Interestingly, the 27-year-old is Rajasthan’s fourth most successful Indian bowler of all time and also their leading bowler among all active cricketers. The only Indian bowlers ahead of him in the list are Siddharth Trivedi (65 wickets in 2008-2013), Pravin Tambe (35 wickets in 2013-2015) and Munaf Patel (33 wickets in 2008-2010). If Shreyas Gopal managed to add four more wickets to his tally through Rajasthan’s upcoming fixture against Kolkata, he will become his side’s second most successful Indian bowler after their ex-pacer Trivedi.
