Kerala's Mohammed Azharuddeen, 26, made IPL talent spotters take notice of him on Wednesday evening when he hammered Mumbai bowlers during his 37-ball century in Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy at the Wankhede Stadium. However, Kerala coach and former India pacer Tinu Yohannan was not expecting such a heroic innings from Azharuddeen, in which he remained unbeaten while smashing his 54-ball 137. Azharuddeen’s 11 sixes and nine fours helped Kerala beat Mumbai by eight wickets in the 16th over while chasing 196.
