Parth Kohli

Parth Kohli's journey into the world of cricket began in the sandy bylanes of Jaipur, where the crack of bat against ball was a sound that stitched together his childhood. Born on the 9th of August, 1996, Parth was infused with a love for the sport by his father, who often took him to watch matches at the Jaipur Cricket Academy. It wasn't long before Parth was swapping schoolbooks for cricket pads, dreaming of one day representing his country.

His cricketing ascent was swift. Parth’s outstanding performances in local club matches caught the eye of state selectors. By 2014, barely out of his teens, he was pulling on the Rajasthan state colours in domestic competitions. It was his allrounder status that set him apart—a hard-hitting right-handed batsman, with the canny ability to turn games with his legbreak bowling.

Parth's professional debut came in the the thrill of the 2016 Ranji Trophy. His versatility on the field quickly won him applause and set the stage for future exploits. One of his most memorable performances in the domestic circuit was when he single-handedly dragged Rajasthan to victory in a nail-biting encounter against Karnataka, taking four wickets and scoring a decisive 63 not out. This match remains etched in fans' memories, underlining Parth’s ability to make a game-changing impact.

In 2019, Parth's consistent prowess earned him a call-up to the national team. He played a crucial role in India securing the Asia Cup the following year, contributing vital runs in the lower order and crucial overs with his legspin. His rivalry with Pakistan's ace allrounder, Saeed Alam, became headline news. Matches between the two brought out the best in both, adding an extra frisson of anticipation to India-Pakistan fixtures.

Parth's batting is characterised by a blend of aggression and precision, wielding his willow with zeal. His capacity to accelerate the scoring in tight situations adds a layer of unpredictability to his game. On the bowling front, his legbreak deliveries, marked by subtle variations in flight and pace, have left many a batsman baffled.

Off the field, Parth has been a beacon of inspiration, particularly to young cricketers emerging from smaller cities and towns, proving that extraordinary talent can emerge from any corner of the nation. His journey from the sandy streets of Jaipur to the international stage serves as a testament to dedication and passion in the pursuit of sporting excellence.
