The Indian cricket team has been announced for the tour of Sri Lanka, which will play 2 test matches there. The most surprising selection in this was that of Saransh Jain, who has got a place in Team India for the first time. This selection may have come as a surprise for common cricket fans, but for this Indore cricketer and his family, it is the appropriate result of years of hard work. Apparently, after being selected in the team, there is an atmosphere of happiness in the entire house and city. Eventually another cricketer from the city will come to represent the country.
Since learning his first lesson in cricket about 26 years ago, 33 year old Saransh has been working hard continuously. Now, with these 26 years of tireless hard work and the support of his family, Saransh Jain has once again brought his name and that of the city into the limelight. Saransh Jain, who lives in Annapurna area of Indore, is the sixth player from this city who has made his place in Team India.
It would not be wrong to say that off-spin-all rounder Saransh, who plays for the Madhya Pradesh cricket team, has cricket in his blood. His father Subodh Jain had also been a spinner in the Madhya Pradesh cricket team during his time. For Subodh, who successfully battled cancer and won, the bigger happiness is that his dream of seeing his son playing for the Indian team is going to be fulfilled.
Cricket fans will easily get all this information about what Saransh has done in cricket, what is his record in Ranji Trophy. But only his mother can tell what the likes, dislikes and wishes of this experienced cricketer are. Saransh’s mother Sarita Devi also made a similar revelation on this happy occasion. He told that whenever Saransh returned after playing or winning a match, he used to say only one thing to his mother – ‘I want to eat Malpua from your hand’. Mother also used to make hot Malpua and give it to her beloved.
It is the result of the knowledge of cricket inherited from his father and the love and support of his mother that after waiting for a long time, he has got the reward for his hard work. He can make his debut in the series going to be held in Sri Lanka from 15th August. He has been selected in place of injured off-spin-allrounder Washington Sundar. In such a situation, there is a possibility of him being given a chance in the playing-11.
