The achiever Rohtak, December 15 The sufferer on this count is the captain of Haryana under-15 cricket team Nitin Saini, who achieved the distinction of emerging highest run getter in North Zone this season. He led the side with an example by scoring 459 runs in four matches of the inter-state under-15 cricket tourney recognised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Nitin- a student of local Vaish School, who also dons keeper’s gloves, scored a century besides surpassing half century mark four times in eight innings of the tournament this season while opening the innings for Haryana. His string of scores comprised 15 and 54 runs against Jammu and Kashmir, 43 and 54 against Punjab, 102 and 44 against Himachal Pradesh and 58 and 89 against Delhi. In Haryana’s encounter against Delhi, Nitin gave outstanding performance behind the stumps too by accepting four catches in his gloves. It is not for the first time that this promising youngster has excelled. Last year also, he impressed by emerging the top scorer for Haryana with 201 runs to his credit from four matches of under-15 tournament. Born on October 28, 1988, Nitin played his first recognised tournament at the age of eleven, when he represented Haryana in under-14 championship and scored 39 runs against Himachal Pradesh at Bilaspur. In the next session (2001-2002), he went on to score 71 and 35 runs against Himachal Pradesh and Delhi respectively. The game of cricket runs into the blood of Nitin Saini, as his father Ranbir Singh, presently employed in a nationalised bank, had also represented Haryana in under-22 tourney as an off spinner and a batsman. Unfortunately, Ranbir could not play in the final eleven in Ranji Trophy for Haryana despite being in the squad in 1990. Understandably, he inculcated the basic cricketing skills in Nitin, which are further being ameliorated by his coaches Ashwani Kumar and Mahipal Singh. Ashwani - a former Haryana cricketer and currently coach of the Haryana Ranji team, thinks positive about Nitin. “The lad is capable of giving consistent performance,” said Ashwani while describing the landmark achievement by Nitin this season. Like every youngster, Nitin aspires to play cricket for India. |
