Whenever there is a clash between India and Sri Lanka (SL vs IND) on the international cricket field, the matches are always full of thrill, struggle and records. Cricket lovers always have their eyes fixed on the veterans and big players of both the teams, but sometimes such matches give the world some new and rising young stars who have the potential to become great players in the future. During an exciting series played recently between India and Sri Lanka, one such young and talented batsman has emerged from the Sri Lankan camp, who has won the hearts of the opposition bowlers as well as the stalwarts of the cricket world with his excellent technique, amazing composure and unique style of playing shots. After watching the game of this young player, there has been heated discussion among sports lovers and experts whether Sri Lanka has got its next biggest superstar in this format of cricket.
BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla made a big comparison with Sachin Tendulkar
The technical proficiency of this young Sri Lankan batsman and the amazing confidence shown on the field has impressed not only the general audience but also the Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and senior politician Rajeev Shukla. After closely observing the shots of this batsman and the time spent at the crease during the match, Rajiv Shukla openly praised this player and directly compared him with the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket. As soon as this big statement of Rajiv Shukla came out, there was a stir in the sports world, because comparing a young player with Sachin Tendulkar is considered a big thing. He said that this young player’s batting style, way of hitting straight drives and keeping cool even in adverse situations directly reminds him of the great Sachin Tendulkar of his early days.
The young player’s technique and patience won the hearts of the whole world.
Cricket experts believe that the way this young Sri Lankan batsman has demonstrated traditional cricketing shots in the modern era of T20 and aggressive cricket is praiseworthy. When the Sri Lankan team was in trouble in front of the Indian bowlers and wickets were falling continuously, then this batsman considered it appropriate to play by staying at the crease without coming under any pressure. He faced both the Indian spinners and fast bowlers very well and proved with his foot movement that he is a long race horse. Even the former veteran players commentating on the field were stunned after seeing his straight drive, flick shot and cover drive. This is the reason why today the name of this young player is being discussed from social media to sports corridors and everyone is wishing for his bright future.
Step towards becoming the new powerhouse of future international cricket
The Sri Lankan cricket team has been going through the biggest change and transition period of its era for some time now, where after the retirement of stalwarts like Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, the team was constantly searching for a reliable batsman who could become the pivot of the team. In the form of this young player, Sri Lanka may have found the rare diamond that they had been searching for for a long time. The comparison made by Rajiv Shukla with Sachin Tendulkar will definitely increase the pressure on this player, but will also give him tremendous inspiration to become a great player of the world. As the player plays more matches in international cricket, his test will become more difficult, but his debut has shown that this batsman is all set to leave a distinct and lasting mark on the global cricket scene in the times to come.
