In a first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) video, Rajasthan Royals’ player Sandeep Sharma wished his former India under-19 teammate well on his career in international cricket. The Royals hailed the left-arm seamer for his performance in a novel way.
In an exciting match on Thursday, June 6, in Dallas, the USA pulled off the first upset of the 2017 T20 World Cup, defeating Pakistan, the 2022 finalists. Saurabh Netravalkar led the debutants to a historic triumph in the Super Over by displaying incredible bravery.
To prevent Pakistan from pursuing a target of 19, Netravalkar let up just 13 runs while taking the vital wicket of Iftikhar Ahmed in the Super Over. The cricket community has been praising the Mumbai native greatly for his bravery.
In reality, Netravalkar quit cricket after the Under-19 tournament and moved to the USA to pursue further education. I believe Harmeet Singh is also present. I’d say happy trails, yaar. Being an international cricket player is everyone’s dream. You play on an international level. Be professional when you’re on the pitch, whether you’re playing India or not. The video was taken during the 2024 Indian Premier League, and Sandeep adds, “Try to win the game for your team.”

Ashok Menaria was Saurabh Netravalkar and Sandeep Sharma’s coach as they competed for India in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup. Among the well-known cricketers that played for the side were KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Harshal Patel, and Jaydev Unadkat.
The USA approaches the Super Eight stage, almost touching it.
The USA was held to 159/3 in their 20 overs by Pakistan when chasing a 160-run mark. Nevertheless, the USA prevailed in the Super Over, and their thrilling victory enabled them to take the lead in Group A after two victories in a row. To begin their campaign, they had defeated Canada.

With their style of play, USA captain Monank Patel, who earned Player of the Match and struck a vital half-century, expressed confidence in their chances of defeating Ireland on June 14. There is a very good chance they can make it to the Super Eight stage even if they lose to India on June 12. Pakistan’s match against India on June 9th will be extremely important. In the event that the Men in Green fall short against their fiercest adversaries, they will have to hope that the USA loses its remaining games.
