Pradeep Sangwan
Pradeep Sangwan a left-arm in-swing bowler from a remote village of Najafgarh, Delhi, gives pace bowling an all-new meaning. Coach A N Sharma, who ‘gifted’ the present Indian cricket team with one of the most dashing opening batsman in Virender Sehwag is getting ready for an encore. In the final of a major tournament held at Kolkata, he went in to bat at No.11 and made 63 runs and shared a partnership of 150. In the same tournament, he took 31 wickets in six games.
Pradeep has been to the M.R.F Pace foundation and coached under Dennis Lile and Srinath. His main weapon, says A.N Sharma, is his deadly reverse swing balls. “He is a bowler who makes the batsmen think before playing each ball,” he adds.
Career
