Sairaj Bahutule has defeated death
The story of Sairaj Bahutule is very inspiring. In the year 1990, when he was just 17 years old, he met with a car accident. His friend Vivek Singh, son of famous singers Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh, died in this accident that took place on Marine Drive in Mumbai. Sairaj had gone into coma after that accident. Sairaj overcame the coma and the doctors said that he would not be able to even stand properly let alone play cricket. But Sairaj worked very hard and due to his stubbornness he became a great cricketer. He made his ODI debut in the year 1997 and his Test debut in 2001.
Why did BCCI appoint spin bowling coach?
The question is, why did Team India need a spin bowling coach? Actually, there are no experienced spinners in Team India anymore. R Ashwin has retired from international cricket and Ravindra Jadeja’s career is also on the decline. In such a situation, a specialist spin bowling coach has been appointed to make the young spinners effective. Bahutule will have the responsibility of developing a long-haul spinner. Manav Sutar and Harsh Dubey have got a place in Team India for the test match against Afghanistan. Both have come to the team for the first time. Bahule’s experience will be useful for both these players.
