Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan has etched his name in the annals of Indian cricket by claiming the prestigious wicket of Virat Kohli during a Ranji Trophy clash against Delhi. This achievement, hailed as the 'most important wicket of his life' by Sangwan, has thrust the 29-year-old cricketer into the national spotlight.
Having previously played U-19 cricket for Delhi, Sangwan's trajectory took him to the Railways team, where his efforts on the field have paid off. In a strategic play, Sangwan sent Kohli's off-stump cartwheeling, riveting the attention of both stadium spectators and social media alike. The moment was a culmination of meticulous bowling tactics that focused on exploiting Kohli's vulnerability outside the off-stump line.
As a Northern Railways ticket collector, Sangwan now hopes this 'Kohli' moment will prove life-altering for his sporting career. Meanwhile, fellow players like Sumit Mathur relish the rare experience of sharing the field with Kohli, as the cricketing legend returns to domestic red-ball cricket after more than a decade.
