Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, April 27, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Mumbai Indians batsman Saurabh Tiwary has been named Winner of the 2010 Citi Under-23 Success of the League Trophy. The Citi Under-23 Success of the League Trophy recognizes the best under-23 player of the DLF IPL season.
