If one would look at all-rounder Pawan Negi’s career graph, there are not many figures that catch your eyes. His Indian Premier League career record is: 13 wickets in 21 matches at an economy rate of 8.04. His highest score while batting in the IPL is 36. Negi’s overall T20 record is: 46 wickets and 479 runs in 56 matches. His first-class record is not impressive either — just three matches since his debut in 2011.
