Ashutosh is best known for hitting the fastest fifty by an Indian in a T20 game. He scored this in 11 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match in 2023, thus breaking the record of Yuvraj Singh.
On the other hand, Choudhary is a right-arm leg-break bowler, who was scouted by the Kings from the NCR region. Meanwhile, Vishwanath is an exciting talent from Punjab who impressed the side with his batting at the Under 25 level and the Sher E Punjab tournament.
“We had identified our gaps and the players we need to target. It’s always good when you have achieved most of what you set out to do. The most exciting part is the young Indian talent that we have. This should stand us in good stead over time,” said Sanjay Bangar, Head of Cricket Development, PBKS.
