A year ago when the Indian Premier League teams was undergoing a major reshuffle, very little was known about young Australian bowler Sean Abbott. He bowled the ill-fated delivery which unfortunately and eventually took the life of fellow countryman Phil Hughes, in a freak accident in November. Coupled with his impressive show for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League and his tally of 25 wickets from 34 T20 matches, Vijay Mallya’s team wasted little time before bringing the youngster into their fold for Rs 11 crore, double his base price, to fill the void left by South African Albie Morkel. With the IPL just two months away, it seems like the second coming of Sean Abbott is well and truly neigh. A heartening sight for cricket and the for the 22-year-old lad.
