Kuruvilla Abraham

Kuruvilla Abraham, born on January 26, 1997, in a small coastal town, always seemed destined for cricket. His childhood was spent honing his skills on the beachside pitches, where he first realised his gift for fast bowling. As a teenager, Kuruvilla's raw pace and unerring accuracy quickly set him apart from his peers. Growing up, he idolised some of the game’s all-time great fast bowlers, and by the time he reached adolescence, it was clear that cricket wasn't just a passion; it was his calling.

Kuruvilla's journey to professional cricket saw him navigating through district and state-level teams, where his devastating right-arm fast bowling often left batsmen in a daze. His dedication and hard work paid off when he debuted for his national team at the mere age of 21, setting the stage for what would become a remarkable career. Known for his lethal outswingers and the ability to reverse swing the ball late, his bowling style has often drawn comparisons with legendary pacers.

Among his major achievements, Kuruvilla has been pivotal in spearheading his nation to several championship victories. One of his crowning moments came during a nerve-wracking final of an international tournament, where his five-wicket haul dismantled the opposition, earning him the Player of the Match award and cementing his status as a match-winner. Over the years, he has consistently been among the top wicket-takers, even setting the record as the fastest bowler to reach 100 wickets in some formats.

His career, however, is not just defined by numbers. Matches against a traditional rival stand out—intense battles where Kuruvilla often provided the cutting edge needed for victory. Fans still recall his fierce duels with the rival captain, creating thrilling cricketing narratives.

While primarily known for his bowling, Kuruvilla’s right-hand batting has often been an underappreciated asset. Capable of brisk lower-order scoring, he has rescued his team on more than one occasion. One memorable innings came during a Test series overseas, where, against all odds, he stitched together an unbeaten fifty to secure a draw.

Kuruvilla Abraham's contribution to the game extends beyond wickets and runs. His sheer passion and spirit have inspired a generation of young bowlers who, much like him, started on the sidelines dreaming of cricketing glory. His story continues to unfold, making an indelible impact on the cricketing world.
