Himanshu Sangwan Stun By Bus Driver's Advice On How To Dismiss Virat Kohli In Ranji Trophy Match
The Railways fast bowler Himanshu Sangwan suddenly came into the limelight after taking the wicket of Indian star batter Virat Kohli in a Ranji Trophy match, who made his return to the tournament after 12 years. Even though the Delhi team has won the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Sangwan's brilliant spell became a topic of discussion, in which he cleaned up Virat for 6 runs in just 15 balls.
Ahead of the clash, all eyes were on Sangwan as he was the spearhead of the Railways pace attack. Before the match, many teammates expected him to dismiss Virat Kohli. Interestingly, the bus driver of the team also gave special advice to Sangwan on how to dismiss Kohli. He had said,
"If you want to get Virat Kohli out, then put the ball on the fourth-fifth stump; he will definitely be out."
However, Sangwan relied on his strength and bowled a brilliant inswinger to take Virat's wicket.
After dismissing Virat, Sangwan hoped that he would meet him. When Delhi's innings started, Virat himself came to him, shook hands, and said,
"Very well bowled"
Sangwan took advantage of the opportunity to ask Kohli to get an autograph on the match ball. Virat smiled and asked,
"This is the ball that got me out?" and then jokingly said, "O Teri Ki! You've got it!"
After taking the wicket of Virat Kohli, Sangwan came into the limelight overnight. He went from 750 to 18,000 followers on Instagram. Sangwan said that when he reached home, he received 300 missed calls and more than 200 messages. He joked that he himself could not understand how he was suddenly getting so much love.
Sangwan and Rishabh Pant have played together in the Delhi Under-19 team. So he hoped that he would meet Pant in this match. But Pant did not take part in this match, which made him a little disappointed. He said,
"We haven't met for years, so I was excited to meet him."
Sangwan's success did not come suddenly. Talking about his struggle, he said,
"I came to Delhi when I was 13-14 years old and have been living in a rented accommodation for the last 15 years."
He struggled a lot in the initial days, but with the support of family and friends, he continued to play cricket. His hard work has paid off now, and his confidence has increased even more after taking the wicket of Virat Kohli.
Now everyone's eyes will be on this fast bowler to see how he performs further and to what heights he takes his career.
