Saurabh Netravalkar has been the story of the T20 World Cup 2024, and his journey has been nothing short of inspiring. From working as an engineer at Oracle to dismissing world-class batters with his pace bowling, Netravalkar has a CV for a lifetime.

During the United States vs India game in New York, Netravalkar took India’s two biggest guns - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - down in two overs of his spell. He first dismissed Virat Kohli on a golden duck on just the second delivery of the innings.

He bowled a fuller-length delivery outside the off-stump line, and Kohli went to chase it without any foot movement and edged it straight to the wicketkeeper. Rohit Sharma also played a reckless shot to throw his wicket away.
