Pankaj Singh a young talented aspiring cricketer now got the golden chance of playing in India’s test squad for the fourth coming five-test series in England to be played in July-August. Pankaj Singh’s dream of playing cricket for his country finally came true after waiting desperately for almost 6 years when the selectors finally decided to take him in the team based on his outstanding performance.
“I want to be in the Indian team and for that no matter how much hard work I have to do, no matter how much wickets I had to take, I just told myself that I had to do it. That is how now I have got it.”-Says Pankaj
Pankaj says that the reason behind his success is the stubbornness in his nature that keeps him going and makes him achieve his goals at the cost of anything. He considers this nature of himself as the source of motivation which led him being the top wicket-takers in the Ranji Trophy for the last five years!
Pankaj also showed fantastic performance for Rajasthan during their successful seasons in 2010 and 2011, lifting him to the top of the wicket-taking charts with 196 scalps. Though Rajasthan failed to make it to Knockouts this year but then to Pankaj finished as the joint fifth-highest wicket-taker with 39 dismissals. Pankaj also played in the Irani Cup against Karnataka where he proved himself again and finished as Rol’s best bowler with six wickets.
We wish Pankaj all the very best for his future in the world of cricket and hope to see him continue doing wonders.
