Tushar Deshpande, born on May 15, 1995, in India, has emerged as a notable talent in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He first made headlines during the 2015-16 Cooch Behar Trophy, where his impressive performance of 21 wickets in just four matches earned him a spot in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad. Deshpande made his first-class debut against Tamil Nadu and later showcased his skills in limited-overs cricket with a remarkable five-wicket haul during the 2018 Vijay Hazare Trophy quarter-finals.
His consistent performances in domestic cricket led to his selection for the India 'B' squad for the 2019 Duleep Trophy. Tushar entered the IPL arena in 2020 when he was picked by Delhi Capitals. However, it was with Chennai Super Kings that he truly made his mark. In the 2023 season, he became the first-ever Impact Player in IPL history, a testament to his adaptability and skill. That season was a breakthrough for Deshpande, as he emerged as CSK's highest wicket-taker with 21 wickets in 16 matches, playing a crucial role in their title-winning campaign.
Continuing his impressive form, Tushar added 17 wickets in the IPL 2024 season, further solidifying his reputation as a key player. His contributions extended beyond the IPL, as he played a pivotal role in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy triumph, taking 15 wickets and even scoring his maiden first-class century. In July 2024, his performances earned him a call-up to the Indian national team for a series against Zimbabwe.
As of the IPL 2025 auction, Tushar Deshpande was acquired by Rajasthan Royals for INR 6.5 crore. Now an experienced campaigner, he is expected to be a vital part of RR's pace attack, complementing established players like Sandeep Sharma and Jofra Archer. With his growing list of achievements, Tushar Deshpande is certainly a player to watch in the upcoming seasons.
