Deepesh Enhances Fast Bowling Skills Ahead of TNPL 2026

D. Deepesh, an 18-year-old fast bowler for the Madurai Panthers, has been honing his skills with mentor Sandeep Warrier during a two-week break following the TNCA First Division League. Known for his impressive pace, Deepesh has consistently bowled over 140 kph, reaching speeds of up to 146 kph this season.

During his training, Deepesh focused not only on increasing his speed but also on varying it, including practicing slower deliveries and yorkers. He emphasized the importance of adapting his bowling strategy to different match situations. After his team's third consecutive victory against SKM Salem Spartans, he reflected on the support he received from his team and coaching staff, particularly after facing challenges in earlier matches.

Deepesh's performance has shown improvement, as he took three wickets for 18 runs in his last two overs after initially conceding runs. He acknowledged the mental adjustments he made to handle pressure during games, which contributed to his success on the field.
