“Washington Sundar’s consistent performances in the TNPL fast-tracked him into the IPL and into the Indian team. Similarly with T Natarajan last year when he came out of the blue and nobody knew who he was,” he said.
“He played in the TNPL and was successful and we have seen that even in the Karnataka Premier League where a couple of players who have come in and then straightaway got picked by the IPL franchises. They have performed there and then people noticed,” he added.

Kumble also talked about the controversial YoYo test.

Kumble announced that his company(Spektacom technology) along with Microsoft would be unveiling a new technology during the TNPL to analyse batting.
“This is technology that we are bringing into TNPL. Glad that TNPL has given us a platform. So this is a smart sticker and once you put this on the bat it becomes a smart bat. And we get data in real-time,” he added.
Tamil Nadu Premier League 2018 starts 11th July.
