सौरभ नेत्रावलकर की मुंबई से अमेरिका तक की क्रिकेट यात्रा

Saurabh Netravalkar is a quirky left-arm pacer who can also bat a bit. He was part of the India U19 setup and played domestic cricket for Mumbai. However, the intense competition in India limited his opportunities. Blessed with a tall frame, Netravalkar had the ability to
generate disconcerting bounce and movement. A studious person, he was employed by Oracle at one point. Like many talented Indian cricketers, he sought opportunities elsewhere. His big break came when he was named in the United States squad for the Super50 Tournament in the West Indies. Continued consistency eventually earned Netravalkar the leadership role with the USA national team. Under his captaincy, the team gained ODI status in April 2019.
