Rajkot ki tapish aur Indian spinners ka jaadu jab milta hai to bade se bade batter ke paseene choot jate hain. Pehle Youth Test ke pehle hi din India Under-19 ke sheron ne dikha diya ki ghar mein unhe haraana namumkin hai. Australia ne socha tha ki wo batting chun kar bada score khada karenge par hamare bowlers ke irade kuch aur hi the. Ye ek absolute Dominance wala din tha jahan hamare youngsters ne dikhaya ki unka standard duniya mein sabse upar hai.
The Guru Story
Khel shuru hote hi Mohit Ulva ne apni tez raftar aur sateek line se Australia Under-19 ke top order ko tahas nahas kar diya. Mehez 27 runs par 3 wicket girne ke baad visitors backfoot par the. Aisa lag raha tha ki innings jaldi khatam ho jayegi par Blake Cattle aur Zed Hollick ne thoda sabra dikhaya. In dono ne 147 runs ki partnership karke Australia ko mushkil se nikaala. Blake Cattle ne century lagayi aur Zed Hollick ne 59 runs banaye par ye sirf toofan se pehle ki khamoshi thi.
Jaise hi Mohit Ulva ne Zed Hollick ka wicket liya waise hi collapse ki shuruat hui. Iske baad shuru hua left arm spinner Ishan Om ka Masterclass. Ishan ne apni ghumti ballo se Aussie tail-enders ko pitch par tikne ka mauka tak nahi diya. Australia ne apne aakhiri 7 wickets sirf 43 runs ke andar gawa diye. Ye dekh kar lag raha tha jaise Pakistan ki senior team batting kar rahi ho kyunki itna ganda collapse toh wahi afford kar sakte hain. Ishan Om ne 53 runs dekar 5 wickets jhatke aur Australia ko 217 runs par dher kar diya. Din khatam hone tak Lakshya Raichandani ne do karare chauke lagakar clear kar diya ki India yahan sirf khelne nahi jeetne aayi hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Ishan Om ne 5 for 53 ka figure darj kiya jo unke career ki ek yaadgaar performance ban gayi hai.
- Mohit Ulva ne shuruat mein jhatke diye aur 3 for 37 ke saath Australia ki kamar tod di.
- Australia ne 174 for 3 se 217 all out tak ka safar bahut tezi se taye kiya: ye unka mental pressure dikhata hai.
- India Under-19 ne din ka khel khatam hone tak 1 over mein 8 runs bana liye hain aur ab hum 209 runs peeche hain.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ne pehle din hi game par apni pakad mazboot kar li hai. Ishan Om ki bowling ne ye saabit kar diya ki India ke paas spin bowling ka stock kabhi khatam nahi hone wala. Hamare bachon ne bataya ki Australia chahe jitna bhi zor laga le Rajkot ki mitti unhe raas nahi aayegi. Ye ek clear Prophecy hai ki agar hamare batters ne kal poora din khel liya toh Australia ke liye ye match bacha pana mushkil hi nahi balki namumkin hoga.
