SUMIT AGNIHOTRI had been trying to get into the Chandigarh district team for the last two years. He couldn't. This time he switched over to Mohali, and more than made up for the disappointment of not getting a look-in earlier. The young off spinner was not only picked, but he also returned with an impressive haul of 20 wickets from four matches to emerge the highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
His superb showing has also won him a berth in the u-17 squad as well.
"I wasn't disappointed when I was not selected for Chandigarh. In fact it motivated me to work harder and I am hap py that I performed to the best of my abilities," said Sumeet.
"I am bowling a lot in the nets and try ing to add some variations to my bowling," said Sumit. "He is a genuine all rounder. He bats quite well and is a good fielder as well," said his coach Nagesh at St John's Cricket Academy, where he is learning his lessons in the game.
The only area of concern for this young off spinner is his penchant for experimentation. "He tends to experiment a lot and gives away some free runs to the batsmen. But he would learn with time," said his coach.
He idolises Pakistan great Saqlain Mushtaq and Austrian all-rounder Michael Clark and hope to represent the country in times to come.
