My cricketing history
I always had loved cricket, especially Sachin. I used to dance on the sofa of my home when he used to hit fours. After my 9th class I said to my dad that I want to be a Sachin. My dad rejected my idea and instead asked me to study as that was the second thing after cricket that I knew how to do well. I used to join the summer camp every year and also used to go on regular days to my cricket club 'Khanuja Cricket Club'. In the summers it was two sessions a day , one starting at 5:00 in the morning and the other at 4 in the evening. It was quite a bit of struggle, I mean I had to go to the Club on my cycle that was quit far off from my place with my cricked kit loaded behind the cycle. Then after reaching the club we were made to run 5 rounds of the full stadium and then strenous exercising. Then the net practice used to start. I never used to get to bat. I used to bowl leg spinners. My line and length were absolutely horrible. I also used to flight the ball a lot, so if a good batsman is standing on the crease he used to blast the ball like a nuclear bomb. The only thing good about my bowling was that I used to turn a lot. I was known to bowl outside the leg stump and take the stumps. People used to call me 'Warnee'. I also bolwed Amay Khurasia once and believe it or not he couldn't hit even a single bowl of mine properly. I also beat him once when he was trying to run down the pitch and hit me for a six, he was stumped. He encouraged me and called me 'Sharnee'. God it was such a good feeling.
I also used to play matches in the club. I used to be the last player in the worst team. If sometime I got to bat, since I couldn't even touch the bowl properly I used to get run out to escape the criticism. I also bowled once when I was hit for 4 fours and 3 wides in an over by some 'Malinder singh', son of a bitch. All this net practice and club was only for two years 8th and 9th.
I studied in 10th , got a good percentage. During the summer holidays after 10th I joined a cricket club run by my school. Since I was the best of the worst batsmans out there because no good players joined the club, I used to open the batting in the nets. That is where I really started batting.
Then the god dammit IIT-JEE preperation. All cricket was left behind. Fortunately or Unfortunately I joined IIIT Hyderabad ( some guy seriously advised me to join IIIT becz he knew a professor at IIIT that he was sure will make a very good environment at IIIT. guess who it is ?. will tell you at the end of this blog entry .). I used to play with my batchmates, used to batted well and came in eyes of people as a decent batsman. As far as I know I am known to be classy. Pandey , Joon , Ruchir , Yash , NMC , Lu , Akshay are the cricketers I respect most in my batch. Pandey is inspiration combined with lethal bowling ( he is the only bowler in IIIT that makes my pants wet, the way he jumps during delivery is frightening for the batsman ), Joon is perfection, Ruchir is leadership , Yash is technique , NMC is real class , Lu a batsman who can keep and Akshay deadly bouncy bowling.
The first time I tried to get into the Agni team, I was kept as an extra. That was god damn frustating. The second time it was Pandey who brought me into light. He asked the then captain to keep me in the team and gave me a chance to go first down to bat. I played well that day and from all the matches after that match I used to open , face the new ball. I suppose I am partially responsible for some wins for my House and Batch. My highest score is a modest 48 and I have hit only one six till now in the past 3 years . My dream is to hit Pandey for six sixes in an over . People say that I am responsible for a lot of run outs but I think this is a false impression of mine. I run like a laggard but intelligently. The bolwer I love hitting most is Phanindra. Hitting him makes me feel like a Sachin hitting an Akhtar .
Enough for today. At last let me open the suspense of that professor at IIIT. Believe it or not it is our own loving , funny DEAN IIIT Hyderabad Prof Govind Rajulu.
