Deepesh Devendran showcases speed for Madurai Panthers in TNPL 2026

Deepesh Devendran, an 18-year-old fast bowler for Madurai Panthers, has impressed in the ongoing TNPL 2026 by consistently reaching speeds over 140 km/h, with a high of 146 km/h recorded earlier this month. The India U19 pacer attributes his increased pace to a heavier off-season training workload and guidance from mentor Sandeep Warrier. Devendran also played in the U-19 World Cup this year and is considered a potential target for franchises in the upcoming IPL mini auction. His ability to vary his bowling speed adds to his appeal as a prospect for higher-level competition.
