The T20 World Cup has witnessed a historic moment as newcomers USA have advanced to the Super 8 stage, eliminating Pakistan in the process. This remarkable achievement has been largely attributed to the exceptional performance of Saurabh Netravalkar, a left-arm pacer who has played a pivotal role in USA's success.
Netravalkar, an AI engineer by profession, has seamlessly balanced his passion for cricket with his demanding career. After matches, he diligently works remotely for his employer, Oracle, from the comfort of his hotel room.
Oracle's appreciation post for their star employee has sparked a wave of support from fans, who have urged the software company to grant Netravalkar leave during the tournament and reward him with a pay hike.
Netravalkar, a Cornell University alumnus, has demonstrated an unwavering love for both cricket and coding. "When you love something, it is never a job for you," he remarked. "I love bowling and out-thinking batters on the field, and I love coding off the field."
The US team has capitalized on their home advantage to make a stunning debut in this major cricket tournament. Their Super 8 appearance has also secured their automatic qualification for the 2026 edition of the T20 World Cup.
Netravalkar's exceptional performance has not only propelled USA to the next round but has also earned him widespread recognition. His ability to juggle his professional and sporting commitments has inspired many, showcasing the power of passion and dedication.
