Required Concepts
- Tushar Deshpande is a right-arm medium-fast bowler from Mumbai
- PP phase (474 balls, 17 wkts, 8.62 econ) — used as a new-ball option with reasonable economy
- Death phase (245 balls, 23 wkts, 11.95 econ) — high economy but gets wickets; used in death despite cost
- 51 wickets across 5 seasons — productive for a utility domestic pacer
- Primarily for CSK in 2020–2023; DC in 2024; RR in 2025

Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Tushar Deshpande is purely a death-overs specialist." (Deshpande is deployed across both Powerplay (474 balls) and Death overs (245 balls). His PP use (17 wkts, 8.62 economy) is substantial — he is a dual-phase utility pacer, not a death-only specialist.)
