Murthal: What began as a single turf wicket behind a highway dhaba has produced three players invited to an IPL franchise's development camp, academy coaches said.
The 17-year-old left-arm pacer from Ganaur clocked 138 kmph at a talent hunt, catching scouts' attention alongside a wicketkeeper known for lightning glovework.
Academy founder Rajiv Sangwan credited district-level night tournaments for giving rural players regular competitive exposure without travelling to big cities.
