Akhil Herwadkar was Mumbai’s second-highest run-getter in the Ranji Trophy 2015-16 season. While the 21-year old opener has been working hard to master the art of anchoring an innings, he is also a stroke-maker and capable of scoring at a quick pace. The young lad from Sangli has also played for India Under-19s and will be keen to make his mark in the Indian Premier League after a successful season for his team in the domestic circuit. The top-order bat was brought into the Daredevils side ahead of the ninth edition of the tournament.
