However, in the last few years, several Indian players have boarded the County train from Mohammed Siraj, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/shubman-gill\" rel=\"noopener\">Shubman Gill<\/a>, Sai Sudharsan to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/prithvi-shaw\" rel=\"noopener\">Prithvi Shaw<\/a> and Karun Nair. Nair is currently with the Northamptonshire and has done well at the start of the season and has been joined by veteran pacer Siddharth Kaul.\u00a0  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Kaul, who didn&#8217;t find any takers at the IPL 2024 auction, was selected by the Northants to play three County games and the 33-year-old made an immediate impact. With the red ball swinging away from the right-hander and into the left-hander, Kaul made the ball talk in the Division Two match against Gloucestershire and took a fifer in his very first appearance for Northants.<\/p>\n<p>Kaul ended up taking six wickets for the match but despite his efforts, his team didn&#8217;t win as Gloucs rode on a handsome 238-run lead in the first innings to notch up their first win of the season. After the match, Kaul wrote on Twitter (now X) saying, &#8220;Red ball cricket is my true passion !!! JAI MATA DI !!! Thank you to whoever clicked this great picture !!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Kaul was with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the last couple of seasons in the IPL but played a solitary game in 2022 against the Gujarat Titans but remained largely on the bench. Kaul may have found his calling for Northants and will be looking to add a few more feathers to his cap against Derbyshire and Yorkshire.    <\/p>\n<p>Northamptonshire are yet to win a game in the season so far but find themselves one spot above the bottom place having drawn their four previous games before the defeat against Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/ignored-in-ipl-auction-senior-india-pacer-siddharth-kaul-says-red-ball-cricket-is-my-true-passion-after-starring-in-county-championship-2024-05-14-931277\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Indian pacer, who didn&#8217;t find any takers in IPL 2024 auction, is plying his trade in the County Championship for Northamptonshire It&#8217;s not very often that an Indian player is playing a different tournament in April-May and not the IPL, apart from Cheteshwar Pujara, who has become a regular fixture for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/resize.indiatvnews.com\/en\/centered\/newbucket\/1200_675\/2024\/05\/77879-1-1715672938.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[605],"tags":[20929,9588,3482,44980,270,2971,273,336,337,7311,3380,22093,1854,10650,50766,50763,50765,50767,50760,50762,50764,50761,33767,2751],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50686,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50684\/revisions\/50686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
