My cricket journey from ganguly to risabh pant

Debut in domestic team

2005

Shaik pov

My name is shaik latheef  . I am a aspiring cricketer who wanted to play in international cricket team for indian . It might be a impossible for any ordinary talentless player but I believe myself  .I Have been practicing cricket since 1996 . My favorite player and inspiration is Mr kapil dev sir . who played all rounder innings and saved India from the humiliating match in quarter final world cup match with zimbambe. 

Every since , India lacks a proper allrounder like him who is dependable . I don't think ajay jadeja Is one . and Yuvraj is close to one but he is too young to judge by bcci . I think saurav is the best captain India has after kapil dev sir . Afterall who can be better captian than him now . 

whenever i asked someone i wanted to be allrounder .they said that i can't ball and bat well at the same time . Well i guess it's time to prove those people how wrong they are .

Well you are probably thinking that i am arrogant kid thinking that  he could play on the international level right  , well you are wrong.

My arrogance comes from playing the domestic cricket . I played in domestic cricket as Andra pradesh in ranji trophy and vijay hazarare like tournaments . i played a total of 105 first class matches .    197 innings , 12000  runs with approx 60 avg. Well good for first class cricket but not good enough considering they are just first class matches . I scored against people who are mediocre at cricket . i mean they are good players but the bowlers don't have proper pace and accuracy and seam/spin . Even a international level spinner bowls with more pace and speed than them .Even andra pradesh went in finals in ranji trophy but sadly our team failed . everyone did mistakes including me as i bowled some loose balls . 

It's good enough for indian selectors to choose me in the upcoming u19 cup in indian team . I have made headlines in news but not many people know about  domestic cricket which is underrated by many people .But i am dissatisfied and training hard in my power hitting,defense and pacing

You can ask me why i am doing all of this despite huge succes. I could jump with joy and start celebrating but I don't wanna .

You want to know why , it's all because of one man . Chetiswar pujara .

I gout out of 51 in first innings by lbw with Hyd making a decent 235 .

Urasthra kept opening parthership of 132 . When we finally break out the partnership. Then comes the man cheteswara pujara. When he comes into crease , he never had any intention of leaving the ground.

He plays in the same style of mr Rahul Dravid but he occasionally bashes the ball to the boundary .

After the end of Saurashtra innings he made a 335  not out with 703-6 declared

Man hit 100 runs in my over . I made a century but at what cost . My pride as a bowler is crushed . Douche didn't let me play in the 2nd innings .
Still he is practising in ground for next matches like a monster he is .

I also met him in vijay hazare trop . Even a paternship didn't help me win the trophy .

Enough about him , I should start improving my pace
Guess I am taking the fast bowler route . Sacrificing accuracy for more pace.

Still I want to maintain the length and line too.

I should improve my bowling more . Bowling is more important and consistent than batting.

As sometimes we get dismissed due to unluck as a batsman .
Bowling has many chances .we can bowl many balls but can bat once.

Unless you play tests

Well . Start practicing now

As latheef is practising in the ground . A postman came to him delievering the letter

Latheef opened the letter to read " latheef shaik you are selected to play in the u19 oddi squad in February . Please arrive at the given location at the destined time . Thanking you "

He closed the letter

After that he jumped with joy and proceeded to  do imrahan Tahir run on the field
