It’s been fascinating to watch Manimaran Siddharth rise to prominence in the Indian Premier League in 2024. In the match between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Lucknow Super Giants, the sluggish left-arm bowler managed to get rid of Virat Kohli.
Siddharth has bowled three overs and taken a wicket thus far in his three overs. Bringing the bowler in during the powerplay was crucial, and KL Rahul made a good job of it. Let’s delve more into Manimaran Siddharth’s biography, as the majority of readers may not be familiar with the spinner.
In earlier iterations of the competition, the 25-year-old played for the Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. He was unlucky, nonetheless, to be left out of the starting lineup for the teams at that time.
The left-arm spinner caused the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru to engage in a bidding battle during the Indian Premier League 2024 Auction in Dubai. He proved to be a player to watch out for in the Lucknow squad this season and was eventually sold for an incredible INR 2.4 crore.
“I wanted to know if I would be chosen,” Manimaran Siddharth said.
As the left-arm spinner for Tamil Nadu produced steady results in the home circuit, his skill increased. One of the main reasons the Lucknow franchise invested a significant amount of money on him was his fantastic accomplishments in the Tamil Nadu Premier League.

In December 2023, upon his signing with the Lucknow Super Giants, the left-arm orthodox bowler talked with India Today. “I was nervous,” he added. The night before, I felt uneasy. Finding your name on the auction list is a significant deal. I wanted to go to the IPL this time, so I was wondering after that if I would be selected or not. I wasn’t there the previous two years. This time, I had to make it, I told myself. Motivation comes from achieving accomplishments. I thought this was the ideal opportunity for me to move forward. I’m happy that happened.
