NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket staff control is not shying away from giving talented children a possibility to prove themselves at the global degree.
After fast-tracking Prithvi Shaw into the Test arena last yr in the home sequence in opposition to the West Indies, younger Shubman Gill was handed the India cap within the recently-concluded ODI sequence in opposition to New Zealand.
Both Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill are 19 years old.
A certain Sachin Tendulkar knows exactly what it's like to begin an international profession at an early age. The Master Blaster made his global debut in 1989 vs Pakistan on the age of 16.
Now, in an interview to TimesofIndia.com, Tendulkar has spoken about Prithvi and Shubman and the way he sees a large number of potential in each the younger cricketers.
“I’ve spoken about Prithvi earlier as smartly, having watched him bat within the nets as a little bit boy, all of Eight-9 years of age, he had one thing particular even again then. I knew immediately that he would play for India,” Tendulkar advised Timesofindia.com.
While Prithvi made his Test debut in October 2018, Shubman earned a maiden call-up for the ODI sequence in opposition to New Zealand which India gained 4-1. Both batsmen had starred in India's triumphant campaign within the U-19 Word Cup in New Zealand last yr. While Prithvi was the India captain and had a excellent event with the bat (261 runs in five innings), Shubman, who scored one century and three half-centuries within the event was adjudged Man of the Series within the 2018 ICC U-19 World Cup.
Shaw has up to now performed two Tests (three innings) for India and scored 237 runs at an astonishing average of 118.50, including one century and one half-century. He in truth became the youngest Indian (18 years and 329 days) to attain a Test century on debut and the second youngest Indian general, after Sachin Tendulkar (17 years 107 days) to attain a Test century. In heart breaking fashion Prithvi had to miss the entire Test sequence in Australia, which India gained due to an ankle damage.
Shubman in the meantime had an excellent outing within the Ranji Trophy 2018-19 season. He scored 728 runs in five suits (9 innings) at an average of 104.00.
Thanks to his rich vein of form, Shubman was called-up for the ODI and T20I sequence in opposition to New Zealand in New Zealand in its place player, after KL Rahul was suspended.
“Shubman also performed a crucial position in last yr’s U-19 World Cup and has had a excellent home season, so both of them (Prthivi and Shubman) have a large number of potential. Having said that, these boys have just began playing for India and they will have to enjoy their cricket,” Tendulkar said.
With the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 round the corner, the Indian legend also recalled the moment when India lifted the coveted trophy, in entrance of a jam-packed Wankhede crowd in 2011. A second, which Tendulkar describes as his favorite World Cup second.
“Without a doubt, it's got to be the moment when we gained the World Cup in 2011. I take into account observing the 1983 World Cup and the joy it dropped at each and every Indian. To be able to succeed in that dream and turn into the first staff to win it on home soil was the icing at the cake,” Tendulkar advised TimesofIndia.com.
He could be retired now, but Tendulkar remains to be very busy off the sector. The 45 yr old, who holds a lot of cricketing information, including the utmost Test runs and centuries and probably the most ODI runs and centuries these days introduced India’s first Multiplayer Virtual Reality Cricket Game - Sachin Saga.
Speaking about that, Tendulkar said, “Virtual Reality as a medium is new but it surely’s one of the crucial robust to drive realism and fantastic gaming reports. Once you wear the headset, one will get the feeling that you are actually within the stadium. We are launching the Sachin Saga VR headset, so everybody who is a cricket and gaming fan can experience Cricket in a brand new way unlike earlier than.”
With the 2019 ODI World Cup just months away, Sachin will probably be hoping the current Indian staff can do what he and his 2011 teammates did eight years in the past - Win the holy grail of ODI cricket once more.
