Jab baat cricket ke maidan par dominance ki aati hai, toh Indian talent ka koi jawab nahi hai. Sri Lanka ke khilaaf dusre Youth Test ke dusre din India Under-19 ne bat aur ball dono se aisi tabaahi machayi hai ki hosts ab sirf survive karne ki koshish kar rahe hain. 411 runs ka pahad khada karne ke baad hamare bowlers ne Lanka ki team ko unhi ke ghar mein ghutno par la diya hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Khel ke dusre din ki shuruat India Under-19 ke liye kisi dream start se kam nahi thi. Overnight score 253 par 3 se aage badhte hue Kushagra Ojha aur Manal Chauhan ne Sri Lankan bowlers ki dhajjiya uda di. Kushagra Ojha ne 111 runs ki behtareen innings kheli, halaki wo run-out hokar pavilion laute, lekin tab tak nuksaan ho chuka tha. Asli Masterclass toh Manal Chauhan ne dikhayi, jinhone 150 runs ki marathon innings khelkar score ko 411 tak pahuncha diya.
Lekin kahani yahan khatam nahi hui. Jab batting khatam hui, toh bowling unit ne charge sambhala. Sri Lanka ki shuruat theek-thaak thi, lekin 35 runs ke score par pehla wicket girte hi ek aisa collapse shuru hua jise dekhkar Lankan fans ke hosh ud gaye. Pranav Ragavendra ne pehla jhatka diya aur uske baad Kavya Paresh Patel, Chigurupati Venkata aur Jeganathan Hemchudeshan ne milkar wickets ki ladi laga di. Din khatam hone tak legspinner Rohit Yadav ne do wickets lekar Sri Lanka ka score 122 par 8 kar diya.
Analysis & Numbers
- Manal Chauhan ne 150 runs ki shandaar pari kheli, jo team ki reedh ki haddi bani.
- Kushagra Ojha ne 111 runs banaye, dono ke beech 155 runs ki badi partnership hui.
- Sri Lanka ki team abhi bhi 289 runs piche hai aur unke sirf 2 wickets bache hain.
- Bowling mein Rohit Yadav, Chigurupati Venkata aur Pranav Ragavendra ne 2-2 wickets jhatke.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat ye hai ki Sri Lanka Under-19 ke paas Indian talent ka koi tod nahi hai. Manal aur Ojha ne jo platform set kiya, bowlers ne usse double energy ke saath capitalize kiya. Jab aap 400 plus score karte hain aur phir opposition ke 8 wickets sirf 122 par gira dete hain, toh ise dominance nahi, destruction kehte hain. India Under-19 is waqt follow-on enforce karke jeet ki taraf tezi se badh rahi hai. Sri Lanka ke liye ye ek bada sabak hai ki Indian colts ko halke mein lena mehnga padta hai.
