Karthik Tyagi

[tweaker]

Kartik Tyagi burst into the scene by enjoying a breakthrough campaign in the 2020 U19 World Cup, but such was his rise that, just a few months later, he found himself as a reserve speedster for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He played the warmup games representing India ‘A’ and was probably one more injury away from debuting in whites for the national team. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad then bought him at the IPL 2022 mega auction for 4 cr. At this point, Tyagi's becoming a mainstay for the national side seemed inevitable.

But two years later, here we are. 

 

Despite the crazy demand for Indian fast bowlers, Tyagi ended up going unsold at the mega auction. That's when veterans such as Ishant Sharma and Mohit Sharma managed to get deals despite being on the wrong side of their 30s.

 

In a way, Tyagi’s downfall has been steady, with him barely featuring in the IPL over the last three seasons. He played two games in 2022, three in 2023 and made just a solitary appearance in the 2024 season. His returns for Uttar Pradesh have been disappointing during this period too, with him taking just 10 wickets in 13 games since 2022 at an economy of 8.00.

He is probably one of those few bowlers, if we lose them then it will be a travesty for Indian cricket.

As a fast bowler, he was everything which we can ask for.

Is tall, has pace, can swing the bowl, can bowl bouncers, has pin point yorkers, gets movement to both sides. 

 

Every skill which a bowler learn over the years, he had that when he started bowling. But his body isnt able to take the workload, plus his bowling action has been tempered too many times by the coaches.

[Lord]

Its not about performances. He needs to stay fit and play a full IPL or Ranji season

[rkt.india]

He went unsold because he was injured and has barely played much in last two years due to injury.

[putrevus]

Question he has earned enough money to afford a personal coach.He needs to get assessment on his body and modify his action to suit his body.

 

It will be travesty if he is lost and does not play for Indian team.If BCCI is hurting and hindering him,he should seek outside opinion.

 

Many under 19 express fast bowlers have not graduated to play for indian team.Something is going wrong somewhere.

[Lone Wolf]

He may get lost in the system along with Umran.

NCA chintus to blame

[putrevus]

Tyagi has potential to be an ace. I don't think it is the case with Umran.

In domestic T20 cricket, specifically in the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Tyagi had a strike rate of 27.00 with the ball, showing his effectiveness in taking wickets regularly in shorter formats.

 

In the Deodhar Trophy , where he represented India C, Tyagi had an economy rate of 3.45. This performance in a List A format shows his ability to adapt and maintain a tight line and length over longer formats.

 

Tyagi's performance in the IPL 2021 match against Punjab Kings where he defended four runs in the last over, gave away just one run, and took two wickets, earned him the Man of the Match award. This performance highlights his clutch performance under pressure, which isn't often captured in overall stats but is crucial in high-stakes cricket.

 

Tyagi has bowled one of the fastest deliveries in IPL, showcasing his raw pace which isn't always highlighted in standard match reports.
