Know what Lomror said

"My expectations from the auction were very high. The 2-3 trials that I gave, all of them were good. Even in the first season of IPL, I did well in the 4-5 chances that I got, So I was hopeful that some team would pick me. So, when RCB signed me, I thought to myself that I will play in the same team that has Virat Kohli, a team that has such a huge name and fanbase.

This has been the season.

The 23-year-old has scored a total of 133 runs in 9 innings in the ongoing edition of the tournament and recently registered his maiden IPL 50 with his bold innings. Lomror commented on his unbeaten 54, "Before that match, I had not scored many runs, so obviously I wanted to contribute something to the team and help them win. When two I got that chance after losing two wickets in balls. My approach was not about results but about reacting to the situation."

Lomror's friend and coach Chandan Chowdhary was impressed by the extraordinary dedication of the player. "Last year when the IPL season got over, he came back home around six or seven in the morning and was on the field till 10 in the morning. I told him he could take a rest, but he said he needs to put in more effort," he said. Have been playing in IPL for five-six years but Mahipal Lomror what we are getting to see this season is different. He is showing a lot of maturity and looks like he has become a complete player."
