Ahmedabad ki tapti dhoop mein jab Australia Under-19 ke ballebaaz maidan par utre, unhe andaza bhi nahi tha ki ek left-arm spinner unka bura sapna banne wala hai. The Guru Gyan ki report ke mutabik, Tanmay Baloda ne apni ghumti ballo se kangaroo team ka wo haal kiya ki poori team sirf 174 runs par dher ho gayi. Yeh ek pure dominance wali performance thi jisne dikha diya ki Indian soil par spin ke saamne bade-bade dhurandhar kaise ghutne tek dete hain.
The Guru Story
Dusse Youth Test ke pehle din India Under-19 ne toss jeetkar pehle bowling ka faisla kiya. Starting mein hi fast bowlers ne apna kaam kar diya tha. Priyanshu Singh ne Australia ke captain ko jaldi pavilion bheja, aur Mohit Ulva ne doosre opener ka kaam tamam kiya. Lekin asal tamasha shuru hua jab Tanmay Baloda ne ball haath mein li. Unhone ek ke baad ek Australian batters ko apni firki mein fasaya. Pehle Eli Brain ko lbw kiya aur fir Neel Patel ko stump out karwakar Australia ki kamar tod di.
Ek waqt par aisa lag raha tha ki Australia Under-19 100 runs bhi nahi bana payegi, lekin unke wicketkeeper Charlie Henderson aur Jacob Pietz ne 70 runs ki ek partnership karke thodi izzat bachayi. Magar Tanmay Baloda aaj alag hi mood mein the. Unhone is partnership ko todne ke baad tail-enders ko tikne ka mauka tak nahi diya aur apna six-wicket haul poora kiya. Australia ki poori team 174 par simat gayi.
Din ka khel khatam hone tak India Under-19 ne 2 wickets kho kar 38 runs bana liye hain. Pichle match ke hero Lakshya Raichandani is baar saste mein out ho gaye, jo thoda chinta ka vishay hai. Captain Yashbardhan Chauhan aur Kushagra Ojha abhi crease par hain aur unpar kal ek badi lead dilane ki zimmedari hogi.
Analysis & Numbers
- Tanmay Baloda ka Masterclass performance: 6 wickets for just 32 runs.
- Australia Under-19 collapsed from a decent position to 174 all out.
- India currently trails by 136 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the first innings.
- Aayan Akram provided crucial support from the other end with 2 wickets for 45 runs.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ne pehle din hi match par pakad bana li hai. Tanmay Baloda ne wahi kaam kiya jo ek world-class spinner se expect kiya jata hai. Halanki openers ka jaldi out hona thoda khalkta hai, lekin Indian batting mein itni depth hai ki hum aaram se ek badi lead le sakte hain. Australia ko agar wapsi karni hai toh unhe kal subah pehle session mein wickets nikalne honge, warna Ahmedabad ki pitch par India unhe dobara mauka nahi degi.
