Mandeep’s biggest goal is to return to IPL Mandeep further talked about his goals, he said that he wants to play in all three formats and also wants to make a comeback in the IPL. He has also cited players like Suryakumar Yadav and Shashank Singh as his inspiration. I have some goals, to play all three formats and then, to come back to IPL. Obviously, if you come back to IPL and perform well, you can get into the Indian team. If I am not wrong, Suryakumar Yadav played for India at the age of 30. Shashank Singh is 32-33 (32). He got his first taste of success in IPL last year. So the motivations are right in front of me.
