The Tamil Nadu youngster attracted a bid from KKR for his brilliant run with the ball in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler took two 4-wicket hauls to help his team reach the final against Karnataka.

The first 4-wicket haul (4/16) came against Mumbai where he dismantled the top and middle order of his opposition claiming the wickets of Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Siddhesh Lad.

He followed it up with a 4/18 against Jharkhand, rattling the middle order by removing Sumit Kumar, Utkarsh Singh, Anukul Roy and Anand Singh.

Siddharth also played in Tamil Nadu Premier League where he picked up 5 wickets in 7 matches for Chepauk Super Gillies last season.
