“I have been watching the IPL ever since I was a kid. There was always a dream of playing in the IPL, as it is the biggest platform you can get. I am really that I got picked by Delhi Capitals for this year’s IPL. I was in my room, watching the auction and my name came very late,” Ostwal said.
“I knew that I did well in the T20 U-19 World Cup but at the same time it was a mega auction, so I thought they will go with their same side and there might be some chances that I may not get picked. For two days, I had anxiety and it was really soothing when I got picked by DC,” Ostwal added in a video posted on the IPL website.
While he may not get a chance to play in the IPL 2022 considering the squad strength of Delhi Capitals, but Ostwal is considering the IPL stint as a great learning opportunity.
