NETRAVALKAR vs INDIA

USA all-rounder Saurabh Netravalkar dismissed both India’s big guns Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in his first spell against India in the T20 World Cup. The left-arm seamer left both senior India batters bamboozled in the first three overs of the match. Netravalkar became the first-ever bowler to dismiss Virat Kohli on a golden duck in any ICC event. Kohli fell in the very first over, edging a ball straight to the wicketkeeper.

Netravalkar did not drop the ball after that and troubled Rishabh Pant with his inswingers. The engineer-cricketer took out another senior India batter after that, when he produced a false shot out of India captain Rohit Sharma in the third over of the game. Netravalkar’s spell left India reeling at 10/2 after 2.2 overs in the second innings.

The USA all-rounder had revealed to India Today that he took a practical call to leave India in 2013. Netravalkar had said that since he was not able to make his place in the Mumbai team on a regular basis and was not good enough to make it into the Indian Premier League, he took a practical call to leave for USA.
