At the IPL 2026 Auction, one of the most exciting young names was 22-year-old all-rounder Sunny Sandhu. A genuine pace-bowling all-rounder, Sunny brings rare value to Indian cricket with his ability to finish games down the order and contribute with medium-pace bowling.
Representing Tamil Nadu in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Sunny grabbed national attention with a sensational match-winning knock of 30 off just 9 balls while chasing 188. That explosive innings instantly put him in the spotlight and even earned a cryptic shoutout from Ravichandran Ashwin.
Hailing from a small village in Punjab and coming from a cricketing family, Sunny Sandhu’s journey reflects grit, skill, and fearless intent. With Indian teams always searching for reliable pace-bowling all-rounders, Sunny could have been a player with a high-upside.
Sunny Sandhu is here, and he looks ready to stay.
