‘Youngsters can benefit from IPL’
2 Dec 2013 6:45 AM IST
Dravid, along with another former India cricketer and expert Sanjay Manjrekar, was in the capital on Sunday for the launch of promising Delhi player Unmukt Chand’s book titled ‘The Sky is the limit’.
‘He (Unmukt) should carry the good part of the IPL to first-class cricket. It gives these youngsters a chance to share dressing room with big players. They can learn a lot from them. Besides that it gives them a chance to play in front of large crowd even before playing for India,’ Dravid said.
Unmukt’s book encapsulates India’s triumph at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup last year.
On Unmukt, Dravid said, ‘The first time I met the U-19 team was when their coach (Bharat) Arun asked me to give these guys a talk. I told them whatever I felt I should say. After that started a question and answer round. I didn’t know Unmukt at that time but he asked really intelligent questions.’
Unmukt said India’s batting sensation Virat Kohli influenced him. ‘I always had this habit of keeping diaries. I didn’t know one day it will turn out to be this big. When I thought about writing this book I didn’t know how to approach it.
Memoirs of Unmukt comes out in a book
New Delhi: Barely 20, Unmukt Chand has already done enough on the cricket field since he picked up the willow for the first time 14 years ago, and the promising young Turk’s diary on Sunday took the shape of a book that encapsulates India’s triumph at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup last year.
The Delhi boy launched the book titled ‘The Sky is the limit’ in the presence of former India cricketers Rahul Dravid and Sanjay Manjrekar.
