Mithun Manhas bio

Mithun Manhas is a talented cricket player hailing from India. Born on October 12, 1979, in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, Manhas has made a significant impact on the Indian domestic cricket scene as a middle-order batsman and captain for the Delhi cricket team.

Throughout his career, Manhas unfortunately found himself playing in an era of Indian cricket dominated by legendary players such as Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, and Sourav Ganguly. As a result, despite his exceptional skills, there was never a vacant spot for him at the international level. However, this did not deter him from making a name for himself through his outstanding performances in domestic cricket.

Manhas joined the Delhi cricket team in 1998 and quickly established himself as a reliable and stabilizing presence in the middle order. He consistently performed well for the team, especially during the absence of more prominent players like Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, who were often away on national duty. As a result, he had the privilege of captaining the side for a significant portion of his career. Under his leadership, Delhi ended their championship drought in the 2007-08 season, with Manhas playing a pivotal role in their success. Although Gambhir led the side in the semi-final and final, Manhas contributed significantly by scoring an impressive 921 runs in that first-class season, averaging 57.56.

Manhas’s contributions to the Delhi cricket team have earned him a reputation as a reliable and consistent performer. He has showcased his wide array of skills, including his ability to anchor the innings and build partnerships with his teammates. His technique and temperament have been widely praised, and he has shown a knack for handling pressure situations with ease.

Despite not earning a call-up to the national team, Manhas has remained a respected figure in Indian cricket. His teammates and fans value his immense contribution to the Delhi team, and he continues to inspire young cricketers with his dedication and hard work.

Off the field, Manhas is known for his humility and his commitment to the game. He is regarded as a true role model for aspiring cricketers, inspiring them not only with his performances but also with his conduct and attitude.

Throughout his career, Manhas has amassed impressive statistics. As of now, he has scored over 10,000 runs in first-class cricket, which includes 32 centuries and 56 half-centuries. He has also performed exceptionally well in limited-overs formats, further showcasing his versatility as a cricketer.

Mithun Manhas’s contributions to Indian domestic cricket, particularly with the Delhi team, have solidified his place as one of the most respected and accomplished cricketers in the country.
