Boys do have that love for cricket right from children. While some treat it as a hobby, some aspire to make it a profession. Yes, some children have exceptional cricketing skills and become successful batsmen! Sachin Tendulkar is a living example, don’t you agree?
Now, let us introduce you to 4 year old Shayan Jamal, who has superb batting skills. Yes, he is such an awesome player, that probably he will give tough competition to Sachin Tendulkar once he grows up.
Since Shayan was an year old, he used to sit glued to his TV during cricket matches. Moreover, when he was 3, he started playing and now at the age of 4, the school has chosen Shayan in the U-12 team. You will be surprised to see how Shayan plays the cover drive and moreover, his forward defence is commendable.
He is quite enthusiastic about playing cricket and so, even at this age, he rocks the pitch. He studies at Hamdard Public School in Delhi and says that one day he wants to play like Virat Kohli and score centuries like him.
Arshad, Shayan’s dad, who is a businessman and a former club level cricket says “Shayan’s cricketing sense is strong and he his hungry to play cricket. If I give him a break for a day or two, he begins to pester me, asking ‘why we’re not going for nets! His game is natural. I am just trying to mould him,”
Further he says “My family and friends think I am wasting my time on Shayan. But I feel god has sent him with exceptional talent. I can’t do injustice to him. I am confident god will show the way,”
Arshad says that as of now, Shayan’s basics are very strong and he very well knows how to play late cut, leave the ball outside the off-stump etc!
