Pakistan skipper Imran Khan once stated in an interview that he was a very worried man when a certain 16-year-old wonder kid called Sachin Tendulkar made his debut against Pakistan. There was no way one can expect a skinny lad who was barely over 5 and half foot face two young quicks called Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. His fear was legit.
Rudra takes guard like a master and had to overcome many challenges with his cricketing gear. As cricketing gears of his size are not available the little master has done well in wearing the cap first and then the helmet to get the helmet fitting right. Thigh pads of his size are hardly available so he has improvised on that front and used it as a chest guard. Funny but sensible. On this occasion, one of the commentators shares an interesting anecdote related t Aakash Chopra. When Chopra first started playing cricket, which was also at a tender age, most of cricket gears of his size were unavailable. His mom used to cut the normal leg guard with scissors to make it of Aakash’s his size.
The video, posted on YouTube two years ago, has gone viral with people from all over the country praising this little talent.
