As a set of new generation bowlers took over the mantle of taking Delhi forward, the emergence of Navdeep Saini, the right-arm medium bowler, helped the team achieve great heights during the 2017-18 domestic home season. Riding high on his 34 wickets, Delhi reached the Ranji Trophy final, where they were upstaged by Vidarbha.
Hailing from Karnal, Saini is a deceptive pacer, who relies more on swing and accuracy rather then pace. As a result of his superlative performances throughout the domestic season, Saini was the epicenter of a bidding war between various franchises and his services were finally won by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for a whopping Rupees Three crores.
