Soloman Chopade’s talent has seen this youngster make it to the Ranji Trophy Probable squad for two consecutive years. He has also played T20 representing Maharashtra at Malvan. Devgiri Emperors paid Rs. 59,000 for the opener’s signature. After a not so great first MPL season, he made amends in MPL-II, scoring more than double the runs he scored in MPL-I. His 65-ball 92 against Torna Tigers was easily one of the knock of the season where scoring runs wasn’t very easy on the Kookabura ball. His bowling was more than useful for Emperors last season, and he finished with five wickets, with best of 2-10.
