Future superstars of Hyderabad cricket


Who after VVS Laxman? This is one question, which has been bothering not just Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) officials, but all Hyderabad cricket lovers for considerable amount of time now. Though cricketers like Noel David and Pragyan Ojha represented India at the highest level, they failed to create the same aura as that of their predecessors. Indian cricket always had ‘Very Very Special’ expectations from cricketers of Hyderabad; and this is a huge responsibility that our young superstars have to carry on their shoulders.

Here we will try to bring out few names that are making great impression consistently at the State level and aspire to make it to Team India, one day. To begin with we will look at youngsters who made it to the Hyderabad State or Hyderabad Ranji teams and are waiting in the wings to rock at the National level. We will speak about their characteristics and their aspirations.

Hyderabad Ranji Team, which got relegated to Plate League from Super League has seen shuffling in the team, with new and talented players taking guard for the team. The debacle that Hyderabad cricket has undergone a couple of season back has forced Hyderabad cricket selectors to look beyond the obvious names and look for young blood to take Hyderabad cricket forward.

In the next few write-ups, we will take a look at such talent!
