Mahipal Lomror
Mahipal Krishan Lomror, Born on 16th November 1999, Nagaur, Rajasthan, India is Left-hand batsman.
Mahipal Lomror put on stellar all-round display - with a resourceful 42-ball knock of 45 down the order and a five-wicket haul - as India outclassed New Zealand by 120 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka on Saturday (January 30), to storm into the quarterfinals of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[1]
A stocky, aggressive left-handed batsman, he has penchant for hitting big shots. [2]
As a batsman, Mahipal is an admirer of Adam Gilchrist, in bowling is role model is Ravindra Jadeja. “Gilchrist is a big match player. You can see his record. Whenever there was a big occasion, he would perform. In bowling, I like Jadeja’s accuracy.”
However, the epithet that he has got is that of Junior Chris Gayle.
“Chandrakant Pandit sir said it when he had come to Rajasthan in 2011 as RCA’s director. At that time we had gone to play the Under-14 Varroc Shield in Mumbai. There I scored 250 in the final. It was then that he said, jokingly, that I was junior Chris Gayle. After that, sab log chaloo ho gaye,” he says.
Like Gayle, people back in his hometown want to see him playing in the IPL. “When I go to my village, people ask IPL kab kheloge. ‘TV pe kab aaoge’?”
He is one of the 341 guys who will undergo the hammer during the 2016 IPL auction on February 6.[3]
