Chennai: With no T20 experience in his bag, Manpreet Gony has defied odds by becoming the best bowler in a team with the likes of Ntini, Murali, Morkel and Oram.
A small town lad again rises up to the occasion. After the triumphant T20 World Cup campaign, skipper MS Dhoni had openly avowed the flair of small town players. Now even in the IPL, it seems that talents from the lesser known parts of the country are here to make the difference.
The small bracket town lying on the road between Chandigarh and Anandpur Sahib has come up with a gem in the making. Roopnagar as it is known will soon become famous for having the distinction of giving the Indian Premier League a player called Manpreet Gony.
His initial fame to claim of course was his rhyming surname to Indian cricket. Co-incidentally he also got to play for Chennai SuperKings led by the Indian skipper himself. To be honest no one knew of Manpreet Gony
