To note, Mukesh was part of the Delhi Capitals franchise in IPL 2023 as he fared well in the competition. Mukesh has the ability to swing the ball by a decent margin which makes him even more deadly in the red-ball format. The Bengal pacer has been doing extremely well in the domestic arena which helped him to secure his place in the Indian squad at first place.
Skipper Rohit Sharma also hailed debutant Mukesh and said he worked hard in the domestic circuit to make it into the Indian team. “Shardul has pulled up a niggle. He’s not fit. Mukesh Kumar is going to make his debut. He has worked hard in the domestic cricket. There’s lot of memories, the rivalry between the two teams has always been exciting to watch. It’s always been a tough tour, you have to work hard. Even in the last game, we had to work hard, especially the batters. Hopefully, we get the result we are expected of,” Rohit said at the toss.
