  • Under-19 Indian pacers struggling to graduate to senior stage

    Since 2008, India has gained 4 U-19 World Cup titles out of eight. In these tournaments, aside from few excellent abilities with the ball, it’s the quick bowlers who have gotten not simply India, however even somebody like Ian Bishop genuinely excited. But thus far, out of the 34 pacers who’ve featured in these eight U-19 World Cups, solely eight have graduated to the worldwide stage, with Jaydev Unadkat being the lone one to function in Test cricket. Having made his debut in 2010, he needed to wait one other 12 years for his subsequent Test. Unlike the pacers, increasingly batsmen have made smoothless transition with the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill all that includes in Test cricket and tasting success. In a fortnight, you may also add Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was a part of the 2020 U-19 crew, to the checklist as he appears set to debut within the Test towards West Indies.

    Apart from that includes usually within the home circuit, these seamers have additionally generated curiosity amongst IPL franchises. In each IPL public sale, on the premise of their efficiency within the U-19 World Cup that kind of occurs simply earlier than the participant auctions, or by way of the course of it, they’ve managed to get profitable offers. But on discipline, they haven’t been in a position to generate as a lot success as they’d have hoped. It has taken them just a few years below their belt in home circuit earlier than even having a notable success within the IPL, however even there the examples are only a few. Siddarth Kaul had performed properly for Sunrisers Hyderabad once they gained the title. Sandeep Sharma, with a deadly inswinger in armour, has good numbers within the IPL and final season got here up matured as a demise bowler. Harshal Patel, with totally different variations of slower balls in his kitty, is one Royal Challengers Bangalore financial institution on usually and it even landed him a spot within the T20 World Cup. Among them, Unadkat, a veteran of 101 first-class matches, has through the years gone for giant cash on the IPL auctions, however within the 13 seasons that he has featured, has performed greater than 10 matches in a single version solely on 4 events. On the opposite hand, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, who haven’t for a long term within the senior India crew, usually are not simply regulars, but additionally constant on the IPL.

    The query is, after exhibiting a lot promise within the junior stage, why do the younger Indian pacers fizzle out and usually are not in a position to make that transition.

    Why do they continue to be an enigma?

    Former crew India bowling coach Bharat Arun feels there are one too many causes attributed to this. “When you are in U-19 you are looked upon as a potential prospect. At that time you are fresh, you haven’t played much. Your bodies won’t take the load because you haven’t bowled that much. Fast-bowling is a very strenuous activity and it places a huge risk of injuries on every bowler. One thing that is the need of the hour is every state should have a vibrant programme where the coaches have a good understanding of strength and conditioning. They work with the pacers, getting their bodies strong and also, you need coaches with a better understanding of fast bowling. You got to understand that each style is different to the basics of the games. It is about blending one style as close to the basic without changing the action. You can’t change anyone’s actions. Every action is unique as somebody’s handwriting,” he informed The Indian Express.

    “To develop a fast bowler is a time-consuming process, it needs a lot of work. There has to be a right balance between physical conditioning and skill work. You overdo one of these and it could land you in a problem. Good understanding of workload management is also crucial for developing fast bowlers,” he added.

    Former nationwide selector MSK Prasad lambasts the state items for the poor remedy of the U-19 pacers. “If you recognise a good fast bowler, you must take care of him. We don’t really know how to take care of them. We make them bowl 25-30 overs on placid tracks. By the time Ranji Trophy season ends, if they have played all eight matches, they will end up bowling 400 overs. They are not robots. There is a reason why many of the fast bowlers, who show a lot of promise in the junior level, lose all the gas. They don’t graduate to the next level because at the grassroots level they are mistreated,” mentioned Prasad.

    Meanwhile, Saba Karim, one other former selector, feels their lack of ability to again their U-19 performances within the Ranji Trophy is without doubt one of the most important the explanation why gifted younger pacers are by no means in a position to make that transition.

    “After the U-19 performance, you need to back it up with a very good domestic performance. In the past several years, all those young pace bowlers, who play in the U-19 World Cup, whenever they have been given an opportunity for their respective states, very few of them have done well. Unless you do well in the Ranji Trophy, your progress towards the national side kind of diminishes,” mentioned Karim.

    Harshal Patel has performed 25 T20Is for India

    “As a selector and as a scout, when you spot somebody at the U-19 level you want to see the progress in that young pace bowler. One needs to show patience but for how long. You look at the progress for one year, two years and maximum of three years and when the performance is not coming up, then the faith in that bowler also goes away,” he added.

    The health technique

    Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed feels the 16-23 age may be very important for the pacers and through that age, the coaches and the board should take further care of them as there’s a 90 p.c probability of breakdowns.

    “It’s a growing age. You get a couple of inches taller, the bones also develop. The two things critical for the young pacers are how they manage their workload and their training pattern,” mentioned Javed.

    Javed says the present coaching technique the place the cricketers do lifting makes them extra susceptible to accidents. “In our time it was all about running. There was no concept of weights. And when the weights came into the training, it was more of a bodybuilding. Trainers started focusing more on the muscles. They want the bowlers to be muscular. They worked on a specific alignment. But bowling in altogether is an unnatural act. No sport in the world will have this kind of rotation. Maybe in the mixed martial arts and wrestling, where you need force but they don’t generate that momentum what a pacer does in their run up and the way they rotate their body to deliver the bowl,” he defined.

    Siddharth Kaul (left) and Pradeep Sangwan are from the 2008 U-19 profitable crew. Kaul has managed to play three ODIs and three T20Is for India, whereas Sangwan by no means made the reduce.

    “Bodybuilding exercises are not good for fast bowlers. The weightlifters training is more suitable for a pacer. The weightlifters lift the weight from some extremely bad angles, but they hardly get injured,” he added.

    Arun echoes Javed’s ideas that 16-23 is a important age of quick bowlers attributable to their physiological and psychological improvement.

    “I feel the Indian male are at their peak with their fitness between 23 and 25. And for a pacer there should be a balance training method. Fast bowling is not only about running well. There’s speed training, speed endurance, strength work. It’s not just one skill alone, like only running will make me better. You have to run, you have to learn to run fast. You need good recovery as well,” he mentioned.

    “If they continue to tick all the boxes, they would at least last for five or seven years. Also you cannot control what they do in the match, you expect a fast bowler to bowl 30 overs in a game for the team to win. But what you can really control is, after the game, how much training he needs to do, give him a break from bowling in the nets, if he has bowled so much in the match. You won’t see many injuries if they are judiciously managed,” he mentioned.

    Arun additionally provides the examples of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Siraj and explains why they excel on the high stage and why it’s a excessive time that each state affiliation should have their very own program they usually shouldn’t be depended upon the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

    Kamlesh Nagarkoti, the member of 2018 U-19 World Cup profitable crew has spent extra time on the National Cricket Academy than on the sector attributable to accidents.

    “Shami, Ishant, Umesh, Bumrah – they all had their fair share of injuries but have lasted quite long because they gave importance to all these fitness parameters. I don’t know whether the next crop of the Indian pacers are following all those parameters. Only the cream would go to NCA, what about the others? I feel every state needs to have a vibrant programme where the talented fast bowler can be worked upon,” he mentioned.

    Javed additionally has one piece of recommendation to the younger pacers that if they don’t seem to be batters, they’ll’t afford to change off in the course of the low season.

    “Not every fast bowler went on to play for fifteen years. Nowadays, I have seen this trend, that you play an entire season and would take a six-week break. That’s the biggest mistake. Your body is toned up for six months. You can’t afford to go on a break. If you are not bowling for two weeks, you have wasted all your bowling training. 90 percent of bowlers get injured when they come back from a break. Not bowling at all in the break is not healthy. In the off-season also, you need to bowl six overs on your alternate days. You just cannot go dry. Total rest from bowling is a disaster move, you are not a batter,” he mentioned.

    Khaleel Ahmed performed 11 ODIs and 14 T20Is for India however then he pale away. The left-arm fast has not performed a single Ranji Trophy sport for his state crew within the final two years.

    IPL and the reluctance to play four-day cricket

    India seamer Deepak Chahar on the present Breakfast with Champions hosted by Gaurav Kapoor cited how IPL has offered monetary safety and mentioned it’s the cause why the batters like Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan go on and hit the primary ball for six of their debut video games. Chahar referred to as it a “freedom” and lavished reward on the IPL for eradicating the “fear factor” from an Indian cricketer.

    In hindsight, former India seamer Karsan Ghavri, who just a few years in the past led BCCI’s tempo bowling academy on the Mohali cricket stadium, blames it on the IPL to kill the burning want among the many cricketers to play for India.

    “Some players are just happy playing in the IPL. They are getting good money and they don’t have the fire in the belly anymore to play for India. They don’t want to bowl 15-20 overs in a day. I will not take the name; there was a pacer he almost played for India. One day in Mohali, ‘I asked him you are a good bowler; you have got a good physique if you could push yourself a bit. I can’t see why you can’t play Test cricket for India. He replied: ‘Sir, I don’t want to play Test cricket. I am happy bowling my four overs in the IPL. I get my money, and I am content,” recalled Ghavri.

    It is a actuality that increasingly state associations are witnessing today the place quick bowlers hesitate to function within the Ranji Trophy matches in direction of the top of the season as any potential damage may rule them out of the IPL.

    “Young pacers don’t want to play first-class cricket is a shocker. During my tenure as a selector, no pacer came with this proposal that they don’t want to play red ball but you can get the idea that who is keen to play and who is not. It’s a dangerous trend. I can understand if someone after playing for 10 years wants to quit one format, but for youngsters, who are 19,20,21, if they are being picky, then it’s a sad affair,” mentioned Prasad.

    “If these kids are happy with the money they are earning, what would happen if the franchise lets them go after one bad season. It would be all over for them,” he added.

    Javed says the children who solely need to play the white-ball cricket is not going to final lengthy. He mentioned: “If you do not play four-day cricket, you will never be able to test your fitness. The moment you decide that you only want to play white-ball, you are finished. You will not be the same bowler.”

    Arun feels white-ball cricket is a simple means out. “It is extremely important for them to play red-ball cricket. It is where you develop your skill sets. White-ball is an easy way out. I think for any young pacer, you need to bowl those 25 overs in a day, and if they would do so with proper training and recovery, I can’t think why the individual won’t be able to play all forms of the game.”

    Karim, nevertheless, disagrees and says it’s as much as a person and due to the demanding home schedule, there can be extra sooner or later. “It is as much as the person additionally. For instance, all of us suppose that Umran Malik can do properly in all of the codecs however one yr down the road, if he involves the selectors and tells them that he doesn’t need to play Test cricket. Can you cease him from doing that? You can’t. It is a private alternative.

    “I have also heard that there are many bowlers, who don’t want to play first-class cricket, they think it is a very demanding schedule, which is also correct. To play Ranji Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali, Vijay Hazare and then the IPL, you need an extraordinary fitness level. For a pace bowler, it is not easy,” he mentioned.

    Mayank Shandilya was over the moon when his greatest pal Dinesh Bana smoked the successful six in opposition to England within the U-19 World Cup closing. He noticed teammates Nishant Sindhu, Garv Sangwan and Dinesh Bana celebrating the title on tv at his dwelling in Bhiwani, Haryana.

After the Ranji Trophy, I went home and started bowling at least 200 balls every day. Earlier, I used to be a top-order batsman who could bowl a bit, but now I consider myself a proper all-rounder,” he mentioned.

    “The experience of playing in the Ranji Trophy helped me a lot. I was more confident, more relaxed and everything happened as per plan. Beating Mumbai in the final was a cherry on the cake as they had defeated us in the league stage,” Shandilya signed off.

    India dominate England so as to add one other trophy to their cabinet
    England received the toss and selected to bat with their second-highest run-scorer Jacob Bethell alongside George Thomas who had made a brave 52 of their semi-final win over Afghanistan.
    It was a shaky begin for Bethell who survived an enchantment for caught behind within the second over however fell three balls later as he was dismissed leg earlier than wicket by Ravi Kumar for 2.
    Captain Tom Prest got here in at quantity three however couldn’t add to his 292 runs as he went for a four-ball duck, England’s first of the match.

    Thomas was not deterred by the lack of two of his aspect’s key wickets as he performed engaging strokes and earned a quick reprieve having been dropped on 26.
    But he too obtained out earlier than he might have any actual affect, caught by Yash Dhull off the bowling of Raj Bawa for 27.

    James Rew then put his hand as much as be England’s potential saviour, staying put as wickets fell round him, not one of the Young Lions center order ready so as to add greater than ten to the overall as they slipped to 91 for seven.
    It was left to James Sales to work with Rew to placed on England’s highest stand of their innings, including 93 runs to the overall earlier than Rew cruelly missed out on his century.
    He was caught by Kaushal Tambe for 95 from 116 balls having hit 12 sixes and virtually singlehandedly given England a combating probability.
    Sales was left stranded on 34 not out because the tail wagged – England have been all out for 189 from 44.5 overs as Bawa claimed 5 for 31, with Kumar virtually equally as spectacular with 4 for 34.

    India’s chase of their modest goal obtained off to the worst potential begin as Angkrish Raghuvanshi was caught behind for a second-ball duck, with the right-hander unable to maneuver previous Prest to the third-highest run-scorer within the competitors.
    The Men in Blue have been capable of rating at a sedate price, with Harnoor Singh including 21 from 46 balls earlier than he too was caught behind.
    Shaik Rasheed and Dhull seemed to repeat their 204-run partnership they placed on towards Australia within the semi-final, as Rasheed introduced up his fifty from 83 balls.

    However, Sales and Rew mixed once more this time to dismiss the right-hander with the very subsequent supply.
    England detected a chink within the Indian armour, and in Sales’ subsequent over Dhull was caught by George Bell who wheeled away in celebration realizing two new batters have been on the crease.
    However, Nishant Sandhu and Bawa, who has the very best particular person rating of the match with 162 not out, moved India to 164 earlier than Bawa grew to become the fifth wicket to fall.
    It was going to take one thing particular to defeat India even now because the required runs ticked right down to 14 from 23 balls.
    And one thing particular did arrive, Rehan Ahmed protruding a hand to cease a near-certain most and dismiss Tambe to depart India on 176 for six.
    But with Sandhu on the crease, England’s activity at all times appeared troublesome, he crashed 4 runs to alleviate the stress England had been constructing earlier than taking a single to convey up his first half-century in worldwide cricket.
    Dinesh Bana was within the temper to get the trophy in his palms as early as potential smashing a six off his toes to convey the scores degree.

    Another six adopted within the subsequent ball as Bana’s teammates raced onto the pitch earlier than the ball had even crossed the rope, realizing victory and the trophy was theirs.

  • In Raj Bawa, India may have lastly found a white-ball tempo all-rounder

    Around the thirteenth over mark, the Indian voices grew to become louder on the sphere. Kaushal Tambe from first slip was the ‘chirp-leader’, with captain Yash Dhull giving him good firm.
    The England colts have been already intimidated, due to Raj Bawa and his supply that dismissed George Bell for a golden duck. It reared off a size, angled in in the direction of the grille and bought Bell bounced out, who gloved it to wicket-keeper Dinesh Bana.

    Bawa had accounted for William Luxton in his earlier supply, further bounce getting the higher of an tried sq. lower. But it was the bouncer to Bell that tilted the stability of the World Cup last in India U-19’s favour, psychologically. Going forward, England U-19 batting, save James Rew and James Sales to some extent, would succumb to the worry issue.
    Bawa welcomed Rehan Ahmed with chin music, the latter going for an tried pull and taking a blow on the helmet. So, an over later, when the 19-year-old bowled fuller to Ahmed, within the fourth stump channel, the batsman’s toes barely moved. Tambe had a easy catch at slip. Bawa’s spell learn: 7-1-19-4. He returned with 5/31 from 9.5 overs. Another grille-crusher to Alex Horton was additional embellishment.
    Bawa’s first wicket was George Thomas, falling prey to an agricultural swipe. After 19 overs, England U-19 have been 67/6, batting first. Their Indian counterparts have been sniffing the Cup.

    Spare a thought for Ravi Kumar, the left-arm seamer who got here again from a again harm earlier this season. Kumar’s motion provides him a pure inswing. And within the last, he superbly used the seam additionally.
    After the morning rain, the solar peeped out. But a steep breeze was blowing throughout the bottom. Kumar bowled into the wind, which elevated his diploma of issue. He countered that by bowling a superb size and shifting the ball late. Opener Jacob Bethell was snaffled by an inswinger, the ball holding a ravishing seam place and straightening after pitching. Bethell was plumb.
    Thomas responded to the early blow by a few fours and a six in opposition to Rajvardhan Hangargekar, however Kumar eliminated England U-19 captain Tom Prest in his subsequent over with a shortish supply that sat up a bit. Prest was played-on and his workforce was in bother.
    Dhull didn’t change Kumar’s finish – at this stage, bowlers seldom insist their captain to behave to their benefit. The India U-19 skipper was utilizing Kumar to a plan and the medium pacer was proud of that. The subsequent mini section of play confirmed Dhull’s maturity, when he made a double bowling change, bringing on Bawa and Nishant Sindhu. England U-19 weren’t able to pressure the tempo and the temporary from Dhull to his bowlers was to maintain it tight and apply the choke. Just two runs off 17 balls led to a poor shot from Thomas, as he tried to interrupt the shackles. A reprieve he was given earlier didn’t show expensive.
    When Horton tried a cross-batted heave and fell to off-spinner Tambe, England colts have been 91/7. The last appeared set for an early end. But England U-19 clawed again, driving on a high-quality knock from Rew. First, he reverse-swept Tambe to upset his line adopted by a slog-sweep to cow nook off Sindhu for one more 4. Dhull responded by bringing again Hangargekar, however Rew has had the expertise of taking part in the sport at the next stage.

    Last yr, when India toured England, the southpaw performed a first-class fixture for County Select XI and confronted the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and different frontline Indian bowlers. Also, the 18-year-old had an excellent U-19 World Cup, with a mean of 40. He supplied a superb rearguard, taking the sport deep, in affiliation with Sales. Together, they resurrected England U-19 innings, including 93 runs for the eighth wicket. Rew wasn’t all deadpan defence in any respect. He scored off the free deliveries, a pull to Hangargekar being his finest. Making the appropriate manoeuvres and taking consecutive fours off Vicky Ostwal attested the teenager’s intelligence. Eventually, when he fell 5 wanting what would have been a high-quality century, everybody applauded. It was Kumar’s third wicket, courtesy a wise catch on the rebound by Tambe.
    Kumar quickly bagged his fourth (4/34) by eradicating Thomas Aspinwall and England U-19 skittled out for 189. In the grand scheme of issues, although, Indian cricket bought one thing extra important from this sport. Bereft of a seaming all-rounder for lengthy, Bawa may very well be the reply to the issue if he makes a seamless transition to the senior stage.

  • U-19 World Cup: Using stump mic as phone, Dhoni coiffure and Mohammad Amir sighting

    There’s this humorous cricketing yarn from the 1999 under-19 Cricket World Cup that salutes the audacity and enterprise of an Indian participant. That occasion in Sri Lanka had bought a broadcasting scale-up. Junior cricket was getting massive. Like the senior World Cup, this one too had high-profile commentators, a number of cameras and, the new-to-the-region innovation, the stump microphone.
    It was the late 90s, the cell growth was but to happen, India nonetheless waited for sundown to queue exterior STD cubicles to make low cost calls. Committed to calling residence each night, aware of his restricted each day allowance and intimidated by excessive name charges of that period, a boy from Punjab had a mind wave. He would use the stump mic to remain linked along with his household that was glued to the tv, at all times trying to find their son on the display.

    As we prepare for the #U19CWC 2022 Final, let’s rewind the occasions when India U19 clinched the U19 World Cups. 👏 👏
    It was in 2000 when India U19 bagged their maiden U19 World Cup title. 🏆

    Legend has it that at any time when he bought an opportunity throughout a match, the boy would sneak to the batting crease, bend low and whisper – “Sab ṭhik hai ithe, rata nu 7 vaje kaal karo (All well here, call at 7 tonight)”. Never ever had the satellite tv for pc sign beamed up the message of a homesick boy from a cricket subject to his front room. Rarely has a tv set doubled up as a phone. And you thought, Virat Kohli, one other u-19 World Cupper, was the primary to make use of the microphone on the bottom to speak to these past the boundary line?

    This Saturday night, India’s brightest younger cricketers will take the sphere within the West Indies. They are odds-on favourites to repeat the feat that Mohammad Kaif and his boys achieved twenty years again. India defeated Australia within the semi-final. They now play England. The excessive hurdle has been cleared, the better residence run stays.
    Delhi boy Yash Dhull leads a bunch of cricketers from a era which began taking part in cricket when India was effectively and actually a cricketing superpower. They would have walked into academies with the information that cricket was a viable employment possibility. The Indian Premier League promised many vacancies for well-paid jobs.

    Most within the Class of 2022 would have fiddled with cell telephones even earlier than they might stroll. They wouldn’t be seen sneaking to the stump microphone to slyly go messages residence. But nonetheless the under-19 World Cup retains its innocence.

    That effervescent with pleasure ‘Look Mom, I am on television’ expression on the recent faces, these well-rehearsed Ronaldo celebration poses, the endearing awkwardness at press conferences; age cricket supplies the fun to see younger cricketers taking child steps. It has a refreshing amateurish really feel. Sometimes it’s like stopping on the best way to look at faculty boys play cricket in a park. Not the talents however the feelings and reactions are not any completely different.

    During the 2008 version in Malaysia, Ravindra Jadeja’s prime concern on the eve of India’s first match was concerning the sports activities channel that may air the event. He wanted to inform household and buddies again residence. Jadeja had freshly straightened his hair, he knew Jamnagar, together with the remainder of the world, could be watching.

    Jadeja’s teammate, Jharkhand’s massive hitter Saurabh Tiwary too had the Tarzan look. He had his causes. Tiwary’s state-mate and freshly-crowned World T20 champion captain MS Dhoni too was into that forgettable style fad of these occasions – the blond-dyed straight hair. Once after a sport that he had single-handedly gained for India, he was requested if he had ever met Dhoni. Tiwary gave a dismissive look and mentioned, “Unka private number bhi hai (I even have his private number).”

    Over the years, India’s junior groups have had heart-warming tales of boys with massive goals rising up in small cities and villages. For these boys from modest backgrounds, taking a flight, staying in five-star resorts and being on tv is a life that was past their attain and of these round them.

    The under-19 World Cup is a teaser that offers them an concept about what their life might be. There are those that are pushed sufficient to give attention to the large leap they should take to be a senior star and benefit from the perks for the remainder of their lives. Others fail underneath the strain of constructing the transition or get distracted and fall by the facet.

    For gamers like Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jadeja and Cheteshwar Pujara, the under-19 World Cup was only a stepping stone. They at all times appeared the actual deal, and the promised lofty heights of world cricket had been effectively inside their attain. They held on to their India shirt effectively into their grownup life.

    Captain @UnmuktChand9 scored a ton within the Final as India bagged their third #U19CWC title, beating Australia U19 within the 2012 summit conflict in Townsville. 🏆 👏

    However, not everybody getting the early massive break turns into a senior workforce common. Pacer Jaydev Unadkat made his Test debut in 2010. But the Centurion sport confirmed that he didn’t have it in him to be an international-class pacer.

    Then there are those that battle, hold round on the circuit and by no means hand over. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal did the onerous yards. They endured the anonymity of the home circuit earlier than getting India colors and taking part in in entrance of packed stands. Some like Harshal Patel – an u-19 teammate of Rahul, Mayank and Jaydev – took over a decade to graduate from Boy in Blue to Man in Blue.
    And then there are some who look the completed product as juniors, make a clean transition to the senior degree, are immediate hits, present the talents and temperament to be nice on the sport however nonetheless show to be a disappointment.

    At the 2008 World Cup, the coach of the Pakistan workforce had a request. Once the day’s hero was executed with the interview, he walked a few us to a spindly boy standing by the tent. The boy had a hospital tag on his hand. The coach mentioned the boy was down with dengue and so missed the World Cup. He was certain the 140 kph-plus pacer was gifted and had a vibrant future.
    The coach was partly true about Mohammad Amir.

  • U-19 World Cup: Left-arm spinner Vicky Ostwal making heads flip

    Vicky Ostwal’s capacity to generate flip and bounce has made him an asset for India on the ongoing ICC U-19 World Cup. Add to it his pinpoint accuracy and it’s no shock that the left-arm spinner has troubled all of the groups within the competitors.

    Going again in time, his coach Mohan Jadhav, who has watched Ostwal from shut quarters for the previous 10 years, tells The Indian Express: “He hates going for a run. He is a spinner, but has the mentality of a fast bowler. He is six feet tall and because of his height, causes trouble for batsmen with his bounce.”

    Jadhav, who can be the coach of opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, explains how Ostwal has improved as a bowler.
    “He is from this Indian Premier League (IPL) generation. He grew up watching IPL, and till his U-16 days, his only focus was to bowl wicket-to-wicket. You can’t blame a 15-year-old, who is afraid of getting hit,” remembers Jadhav.
    He says it took Ostwal two years so as to add extra variations to his bowling. “In an U-16 match, he bowled some 20 overs and gave away 35 or 40 runs and took two wickets. I just told him he could bowl with more freedom. He might have ended up with a five-wicket haul,” remembers the coach.
    During an interview for the International Cricket Council (ICC), Ostwal stated that there is no such thing as a substitute for a very good work ethic and self-discipline, and he have to be affected person and belief the method.

    With time, Ostwal began to provide the ball extra air, and located that drift and switch.
    “That CSK camp helped him a lot. He had a long chat with Imran Tahir, and was a different bowler when he returned. With more variations, it became more difficult for batsmen to negotiate him. He will not give an inch because of his high-arm action. He forces batsmen to take risks, and this is where he deceives them. Even in this (U-19 World Cup) tournament, you can see batsmen getting out trying to play him against the spin. The top edge and LBW will always be in play when he is bowling,” says Jadhav.

    The coach considers the wicket of Australian batsman Tobias Snell one of the best among the many 12 wickets Ostwal has picked within the match.
    “He set up that batsman (Snell) beautifully. First ball of the over, a bit of turn, he guided it towards midwicket and took two runs. The next ball was another length ball on off stump, but there was more turn. Third ball, he again played across the line and pushed for a single to short midwicket. Fifth ball, same length, he goes for an inside-out shot. Last ball of the over – a straight one, no turn, he misses, and it hits the top of off-stump,” Jadhav shares the main points.
    “I immediately texted him that now you are a complete package,” he provides.

  • CRPF man’s son is India’s hero in U-19 World Cup, units up win over Bangladesh

    AT THE CRPF camp in Odisha’s Maoist-affected Rayagada district, nobody knew Ravi Kumar. A handful knew his father, Rajinder Singh, an Assistant Sub Inspector. But Saturday evening modified all of it. Ravi, a left-arm seamer, nabbed three wickets for 14 runs — highlighted by a gap spell of 5-1-5-3 — to arrange India’s five-wicket victory over Bangladesh for a spot within the semifinals of U-19 World Cup in West Indies.
    It was India’s sweetest second within the match but, as Bangladesh had overwhelmed them to the trophy within the earlier version.
    Today, all of the discuss within the CRPF camp is about Rajinder and Ravi. “Kal tak toh koi Rajinder ko yahan janta nahi tha. Aaj sab saheb jante hai (Until yesterday, no one knew Rajinder here. Today, all the officers know)… Ravi ka papa Rajinder is the talk of our unit here. All the officers have called and congratulated me, I don’t have many words to express my happiness,” an emotional Rajinder informed The Indian Express.
    The father-son duo needed to cross a collection of hurdles to savour this present day. The story of Ravi was one that almost didn’t occur. His mom was anxious about her son taking part in cricket on a regular basis, and needed him to concentrate on teachers and earn a level. Ravi, unperturbed, would inform her: “Aaj aap mujhe rok rahi hai, ek din aisa aayega ki aap mujhe TV pe dekhoge (Today, you are stopping me but there will come a day when you will see me on TV).”
    Rajinder remembered this line when he watched his son slice the Bangladesh top-order, along with his incisive and slippery bowling, on his smartphone within the camp deep into the evening. He admits that there have been instances when he, too, was anxious about his son’s future. “I don’t have money and resources to make him play for India,” he says.
    Ravi Kumar’s father Rajinder Singh
    But then, seeing Ravi’s drive and dedication, he informed him: “If you have the ‘dum’, you will play for India.” That, his son did when he was barely 19. But not earlier than overcoming a number of setbacks. Realising that his prospects of progress have been bleak if he stayed in UP, Ravi referred to as his father after choice trials in Kanpur and informed him he had heard speak about bribes for a spot within the state’s U-16 squad.

    Rajinder knew that was past his modest wage and financial savings. But the breakthrough second got here when a neighbour, who has a home in Kolkata, informed Rajinder that Ravi may keep there and play. Then simply 13, Ravi had no second ideas and packed his luggage. He began taking part in within the second division earlier than shortly leaping to first division. Misfortunes continued to hang-out him, although, however he by no means informed his mother and father about them. “I was in an U-16 camp but my name was removed after some tests, bone test or something. I was not given a reason and I was out,” says Ravi.
    And every time he felt defeated, he sought motivation from his father. “Sometimes there are thoughts that ‘yaar, yeh toh bahut tough hai’ but then I think about my father. Unke job se zyada aur kya tough ho sakta hai (What can be tougher than his job)? Every day, he goes inside the jungle not knowing what is ahead of him. At the same time, he is doing so much for us,” says Ravi, who dreamt of becoming a member of the Air Force and performed cricket “for fun” earlier than native coach Arvind Bharadwaj noticed him.

    At instances, he was taunted. “I heard a taunt from my friends that I won’t be able to do much,” says Ravi. Some of them are praising him now, he says. He takes it as a life lesson. “That’s life. One thing I have learnt is that only family stays with you till the end,” he says.
    Gradually, fortunes modified. Late final 12 months, he was picked for Bengal’s U-19 crew for the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. His success earned him a spot within the Challengers Trophy, a tri-series at house and the Asia Cup. But simply when future appeared to smile on him, he misplaced his uncle in Kolkata as a consequence of Covid.
    Ravi has only one want now: “I want people to follow me and say ‘we have to be like him’.” He is aware of although that this dream journey has solely begun, and there’s nonetheless an extended method to go. But for now, the celebrity of Rajnder’s son has travelled far past the partitions of a CRPF unit.
