USA's Netravalkar Continues Dream Run, Claims Kohli and Rohit Wickets

USA's Saurabh Netravalkar, the left-arm pacer who rose to fame with his Super Over heroics against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, continued his impressive run against India by claiming the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Netravalkar's ability to take important wickets has made him a formidable force in international cricket. His success against top-tier opposition has showcased his talent and potential on the global stage.

In the Group A clash at the Nassau Stadium in New York, Netravalkar left the crowd in awe as he sent star India batter Kohli for a golden duck. Kohli attempted to navigate a delivery that curved towards the off side but ended up reaching for it, making contact with the ball away from his body. The outside edge carried the ball directly into the gloves of wicketkeeper Andries Gous.

Netravalkar gave India another big jolt in his next over with the dismissal of captain Rohit for 3, leaving India 10/2 in their pursuit of 111. It was a full-length delivery that gripped the pitch slightly, causing Rohit to close his bat face too early. The ball took a leading edge and ballooned into the air, with Harmeet Singh running back from mid-off to secure the catch.

Mumbai-born Netravalkar played a pivotal role in the USA's stunning victory over former champions Pakistan last week. The 32-year-old delivered a superb performance in the Super Over, securing his side's unexpected win against Pakistan.

An alumnus of the prestigious Cornell University and a senior techie (coder) at Oracle, Netravalkar has been juggling academics and cricket with aplomb. Netravalkar, who played for India in the 2010 U-19 World Cup, has shared the dressing room with the likes of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, even playing the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai.
