He wasn’t picked for the Karnataka Ranji team for three years, but when K Gowtham made a comeback to first-class cricket, he made sure it was a good one.

In the Ranji season last year, he picked up a massive 27 wickets. And the consequence? A massive Rs 2 crore contract with the Mumbai Indians. In an exclusive chat with The Quint, Gowtham talks about his journey to the IPL.

Once called ‘Bhajji’ by his state teammates because of his bowling style, the Karnataka cricketer will now have a chance to play alongside Harbhajan Singh in this IPL season.
