A strong performance in a televised domestic game can turn the life of a cricketer around, and Kerala’s Mohammed Azharuddeen on Wednesday took the first step to securing a bumper IPL contract. The swashbuckling opener smashed the second fastest ton in SMAT history to catapult into fame.
It was a blitzkreig by Azharuddeen
