Saumy Pandey from Rewa selected in Madhya Pradesh Ranji Team, Was the Vice-Captain of Team India in U-19 World Cup

Rewa. The proverb ‘Honahaar birwan ke hote chikane paat’ is perfectly true for the young and talented cricketer Saumy Pandey, who is considered the pride of Rewa and Vindhya region. He was the vice-captain of the Indian team in the Under-19 World Cup recently held in South Africa and has now been selected in the Madhya Pradesh Ranji team announced recently.

Saumy Kumar Pandey's selection in the Madhya Pradesh Ranji team means that he is now joining the senior team for the first time after achieving immense success in junior cricket.

As a junior player, Saumy has achieved almost every feat that a young cricketer dreams of. Due to his impressive performance, he is one of the few players under the special watch of BCCI.

The Madhya Pradesh team has reached the semi-final of the Ranji Trophy and the Team's semi-final match is to be played against Vidarbha from March 2, in which Saumy is also likely to play.

Next Ravindra Jadeja?

The run is brisk and measured. Movements are smooth and easy. The ball followed a perfect path and landed exactly where it needed to be. Most of the time the ball comes out of place, some go out from the right wing. Coupled with his simple style and fiery personality, it's no wonder Saumy Pandey has been compared to his idol Ravindra Jadeja. Like Jadeja in the 2008 U-19 World Cup, he too has achieved a string of Success in U-19 WC 2024; He took 17 wickets at an average of 8.47; The Economy was 2.44.

'Mujhe lagta hai Saumy abhi Shunya pe Hai'- says father

His father, Krishna Kumar Pandey, a Hindi teacher at a government school in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, says the comparison is unfair. I teach Hindi literature, so I am strict about giving good grades. It's not fair for people to compare him with Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja played cricket for 15 years and scored 100 marks in his career. He has worked hard to reach this level and win many matches for India. His son, on the other hand, “has yet to earn that first mark in his career”. “Mujhe lagta hai Saumy abhi shunya pe hai (At present Saumy is on a zero),” he says.
