Dhawal Kulkarni, the former Mumbai medium-pacer, who is in the coaching staff of Eagle Thane Strikers, was looking to strengthen his side with quicks and looked pleased with the players he got in Wednesday’s T20 Mumbai League Season 3 auction.

He seemed quite happy, what with icon player Shardul Thakur in his squad and having the top two costliest buys of the day, all-rounder Atharva Ankolekar (Rs 16.25 lakh) and medium-pacer-cum-batsman Sairaj Patil (Rs 15 lakh).
