Born on New Year’s Day in 2000, Manish Jangid burst onto the cricketing scene with a zest that belied his age. Growing up in the vibrant city of Pune, Manish was enamoured with cricket from a tender age. His journey from the neighbourhood pitches to the professional arena is a testament to his unyielding passion and resilience.

From the outset, Manish's talent was palpable. As a child, he'd spend countless hours perfecting his bowling in both the dusty lanes and more structured settings of youth academies. His dedication bore fruit when he was tapped to join the Maharashtra under-19 squad. Those were the formative years where Manish's bowling began to make waves; his ability to swing the ball both ways caught the eye of seasoned coaches and the hope of future greatness started taking shape.

Manish made his professional debut for Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy as a fresh-faced 19-year-old. It didn’t take long for him to carve a niche as a formidable bowler, particularly adept at breaking partnerships with his canny variations. His ability to adjust his bowling length—a crafty blend of pace and guile—made him a captain's go-to in tough situations.

Among his many accolades, the most striking was his performance in the 2021 Ranji Trophy semi-final, where he claimed a spectacular five-wicket haul against Karnataka. That match, played in intense heat and with a determined crowd urging him on, became a cornerstone of his burgeoning career. It was moments like these that bestowed upon Manish an aura of reliability.

Manish isn’t just a wizard with the ball; his batting, notably adaptive, has played crucial roles in several victories. Though he isn’t the typical tail-ender, his agile mindset and technique often see him nudging single runs precisely when needed or cutting loose with impromptu shots. With the bat, he's the kind who can hold the innings together or provide the necessary flair to a flagging run rate.

Manish’s dogged rivalry with the neighbouring Ranji team, the star-studded Mumbai, fuelled many a memorable showdown, further stamping his authority on the domestic circuit. Off the field, his approachable demeanour and gritty spirit have endeared him to fans and teammates alike, elevating him from a promising young bowler to one of India's bright prospects. Manish Jangid’s story, far from over, continues to inspire those who see in him the unyielding spirit of Indian cricket.
