day Saharan after winning the Quadrangular U-19 series.
There are uncanny similarities between Shubman Gill and Uday Saharan. Both scored heavy runs for Punjab in junior cricket, were trained at home by their cricket-crazy fathers, and shifted base to get good facilities. Shubman, the player of the tournament in the 2018 U19 World Cup has graduated to the senior team, while Uday, who will be leading India in this year’s event promises to follow in the footsteps of his senior.
Uday grew up in Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan, where his father an ayurvedic doctor used to run his own academy and was introduced to the game when he was just an infant.
