New talent emerging out of small towns is a running story in Indian cricket and Aditya Garhwal, the 18-year-old batsman from Sikar district in Rajasthan, has provided the latest chapter.
Aditya’s exploits came over the week for Rajasthan in the Central Zone U-19 one-day league phase of the Vinoo Mankad Trophy tournament – 765 runs, 38 sixes and two double centuries, after missing another by four runs.
Garhwal hammered his 2nd double (212) on Saturday against Vidarbha in Ghaziabad, after two big knocks in Greater Noida. Although Rajasthan did not win the zonal league, they were glad to have discovered a promising talent to spread cheer after the state association’s tussle with the cricket board
