Cricketing star who aims high
Chandigarh, November 24 Talented batsman Ankit, all of 14 years of age, playing for Punjab Under-15 in the Polly Umrigar Trophy at Patiala, attracted attention, when he slammed an unbeaten double century here. He went on to score 258 not out. As Punjab ended its engagement in the north zone by winning the zonal round, Ankit has now scored a total of 510 runs in four matches. His scores are: 82 versus Delhi, 118 versus Himachal Pradesh and 52 against Haryana. The tally will go up as Punjab has qualified for the knock-out stage, which starts next month when Ankit gets to play more matches against teams that will qualify from other zones. Ankit, son of former left-arm spinner Rajinder Pursharthy, has lots of patience and has modelled himself on Rahul Dravid. The right-handed batsman opens the batting for Punjab and bowls off spin. His coach Sukhwinder Tinku, a former Punjab fast bowler, is hopeful of bigger things for Ankit. “The prospects of this talented cricketer are very bright and he will surely do the country proud at the international level”, said the coach. The lad who at present studies at APJ School, Kharar, had a brilliant season in the Polly Umrigar trophy last year also when he piled up 419 runs in just nine innings with an average of 46.5 runs. “To don the national colours is my aim and to achieve it, I will do all I can,” asserted Ankit, who also made his coach, parents and well-wishers proud with his selection in the BCCI’s 40-day Zonal Cricket Academy (under-15) in April this year. He was the only player from Mohali who made it to the academy. |

Kapil sore over denial of Sector 16 stadium
Chandigarh, November 24 Talking to The Tribune, Kapil expressed his disliking for the administration for not providing Sector 16 stadium for the ICL tournament. “I would have been the happiest man on earth, had it all started on the same Sector 16 Stadium where I learnt cricket. It was quite disheartening for me when the administration officials turned down my proposal for providing us with the infrastructure available in Chandigarh.” He divulged the feelings he had for Chandigarh and insisted that individuals should not be bigger than the game. “Otherwise, it would have been the biggest happening for Chandigarh residents. I am brought up here, its charm puts me into nostalgia; the school, the college, the grounds where I used to play. I wanted to plough back whatever I had earned through this city. But never mind! Still I do not have any ill feelings for anybody. Whenever, the administration feels like, I would again approach them”. About the future plans of ICL for promoting the game, Kapil said the plans are in the pipeline to start school or college level tournaments. He said he wants to promote cricket at the grass root level. When told about the newly opened cricket academy ‘Cricket Chandigarh’ started by the Chandigarh Administration, Kapil said he did not have any inkling about that, but readily agreed to provide his expertise, if administration approaches him. |
