THE trio of young city speed merchants Aditya Thakare, Saurabh Dubey and Nachiket Bhute have been rewarded for their consistency by different Indian Premier League (IPL) franchisees. India pacer Umesh Yadav is the only regular IPL player from the city while young all-rounder Darshan Nalkande, who will be having his second season with Kings XI Punjab, is yet to make his debut. It will be a huge step for Thakare, Dubey and Bhute, who have been picked as net bowlers for thirteenth edition of the popular league that is all set to start at three venues across UAE — Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi from September 19.
