Ansul Kamboj changed the faith of the sick father in India’s Test cap: ‘Beta Tappa Pakad’s Dalta Reh’. Cricket news

New Delhi: The distance between village Fazilpur in Ansul Kamboj in Karanal and Neeraj Chopra’s village in Pinipat is about 60 kilometers, but there is a similarity in his journey. For Neeraj, it was his uncle, Bhima Chopra, who took him to the ground so that he could lose weight. In the case of Anushal, it was his father who introduced him to cricket with the same purpose.While Neeraj has certainly become India’s biggest athlete-one Olympic champion, a world champion, and recently, he violated a 90-meter mark in the spear. The journey of Kamboj has been slightly different. He has taken a long road to earn this test cap. In the cricketing jargon, he did not just knock the door. He dropped it down with a performance in domestic cricket.

Ansul’s father, Udham Singh – who have several epilepsy episodes in the last decade – cannot wait to see his son bowling for India in Old Trafford. Udham Singh told Timesopindia.com, “All this wanted to lose weight with me. I specifically asked Satish Rana (Kamboj’s childhood coach) to bowl him.”He said, “He was overweight and I wanted to bring him back to shape. I never thought he would finish playing for India. But the day I took him to the academy, he came into the game, and it became his life,” he said with laughter.The third year B com student, Ansul’s younger brother, Sanium Kamboj says that he could not meet his brother before leaving for England, but this news has brought great pleasure to the family.

“I never saw my father smiling or laughing like this. His illness wiped out the smile from his face. The day the call came, he is unable to control his excitement, “Sayyam says.“I couldn’t see him) looking at him. The day he left for Manchester, our mother was admitted to the hospital. She had a kidney stone process, and we had already booked an appointment. I felt bad but once he came back, the Kamboj family would definitely celebrate.”Last week, all -rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh’s pace duo were dragged Kamboj to the Indian squad for the fourth Test against England after injuries.He was a part of India to face England Lions before the start of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. In an attack, in which Test cricketers Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana were shown, Kamboj stood outside with his exhibition of seam bowling. However, he was not selected, and Harshit was retained as an injury cover for the first Test.Kamboj quietly returned to the colonel, which he does best.“He came back, and the next morning, he was in the academy. Coach Satish Rana says, “He brought some Duke Balls with him and started bowling for the same stump.Rana feared that rejection might have left Anshul. “I asked him,” Sab Thek? ” (All well?). He was optimistic – and now look at him.When he took 17 wickets in 10 matches and helped Haryana raise the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2023, Ansul attracted everyone’s attention. That performance caught the eyes of IPL scouts, and earned a contract with Mumbai Indians, playing three matches in IPL 2024.

But this was a historical performance in the Ranji Trophy that actually turned the head. He became only the third bowler – after Premangasu Chatterjee (1956–57) of Bengal and Pradeep Sundaram (1985-86) of Rajasthan – to take all 10 wickets in an innings. His mantra against Kerala, read: 30.1-9-49-10.“It was a watershhed moment in his career. This opened the doors to her and assured her that she was at this level.Ansul dedicated the feat to his ailing father, which stood like a rock when Seemar was hurt and missed the bus just before the 2020 U-19 World Cup.Rana recalls, “This was the only time when I saw him in tears. He wanted to leave cricket. It was Udham Singh ji who asked him to go on, because he knew his son’s ability,” Rana remembers.“Udham ji told him,”Beta, Bas Tappa Pakad’s Dalta Reh‘(Son, just keep hitting the right length),’ Rana adds.And it is exactly the thing that Anusul has done since then – he never let his Tappa go. During his tenure with CSK, it was his length that influenced everyone.CSK coach Stephen Fleming said that Kamboj certainly hit the bat with his heavy balls. Fleming said after a CSK game against Rajasthan Royals in New Delhi, “She is misleading. The ball hits gloves compared to speed guns.On a similar lines, CSK captain MS Dhoni said: “Kamboj swing is not available, but he receives the seam movement. The ball is harder than you in the speed gun show.”Former India off-spinner R Ashwin, who had seen Kamb closely in CSK, went a step ahead. He said that Anshul is only related to the rare breed of bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Jasprit Bumrah, not only skilled, but also smart and cleverly.Ashwin said on his Youtube channel “Ash Ki Baat”, “The laudable thing about Ansul is that he understands the plans. I have seen many fast bowlers, who asks about their plan, say that they just want to express themselves or enjoy the game.”“But the Ansul understands the plans and knows how they are executed in the middle. It is not a specialty. Zaheer Khan had this. In recent times, Jassi (Bumrah) has this. Ansul is related to that category. I am not comparing skills, but his length is very good, his wrist, and his seam never added, and his seam ever added.”Amarjeet KayP echoes the views of Ashwin, Ranji coach of Haryana for the last two sessions. “He is a brain child. Very intelligent. A soft -spoken boy. He really knows what he is doing, ”says former domestic cricket stallwart.KayP says that England will help the ability to bowl long mantras. He says, “They have a very simple action and never hesitate to bowl long mantras. It is a big property in England.”When he steps into Old Trafford on Wednesday, there will be veins. But Anshul Kamboj can take inspiration from his partner Hariyanvi, Neeraj Chopra, who remained calm in the form of snow in the history of India’s Golden Javalin at the Tokyo Olympics.
