Manish Jamwal

Born on 25th March 1992, Manish Jamwal's journey from a lively young lad with an extraordinary zest for the game to a revered professional cricketer is nothing short of inspiring. Hailing from the rustic landscapes of Shimla, Manish grew up bowling in the narrow lanes of this picturesque town, often setting up bins as makeshift wickets. His talent became evident when he started outshining peers in the regional cricketing circuits, catching the eye of several scouts with his natural aptitude for pace bowling.

Manish’s professional journey began when he made a notable debut in the Ranji Trophy at the age of 23. His searing pace and ability to extract bounce from even the lifeless pitches turned heads. Before long, he was leading the attack for his state team, wreaking havoc on well-set batsmen with his pinpoint accuracy. His transition to the national side was a seamless one, as he donned the national colours in an ODI against South Africa, showcasing tenacity and flair.

Throughout his career, Manish has accumulated several accolades; his role in securing the 2021 Champions Trophy for India is particularly remembered by cricket aficionados. Known for his spellbinding performance in the final match, where his five-for dismantled a formidable Australian batting lineup, he received the Man of the Match award. Furthermore, his fierce rivalries, particularly against Pakistani bowler Imran Zafar, created moments of intense and thrilling cricket, drawing in massive crowds and viewership.

Manish's playing style is marked by his aggressive right-arm fast deliveries that send shivers down the spines of even the calmest batsmen. What sets Manish apart is his insatiable hunger for wickets and his strategic approach to dismantling batting orders. His stock delivery, the outswinger, paired with a wicked slower ball, often leaves batsmen in a tangle. While not renowned for his batting, Manish's right-handed lower-order cameos have occasionally provided vital runs in nerve-wracking chases.

A defining moment of his career came during a Test series against England, where he clinched a hat-trick at Lord’s, etching his name into the annals of cricketing history. His dedication to the sport and moments of brilliance on the field have cemented his status as one of India’s most formidable pace bowlers, inspiring many young aspirants from the hills of Shimla and beyond to pick up the ball and dream big.
