5 Notable cricketers to come out from Sonnet Cricket Club

The Indian Cricket Team is a group one of the most competitive, and talented bunch of cricketers on the planet. Coming up from a rigorous selection process, these players have to work hard to stay relevant in the cricketing market. This is why competitions like the Indian Premier League, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and the Ranji Trophy are one of the most sought-after leagues in the world. Talking about tournaments, these tournaments provide a window for talented crickets to step into the prestigious national side. But, clubs provide a path to these players. These clubs nurture them and make them the crickets who go on and make history on the domestic and international stages. Speaking of the club, the Sonnet Cricket Club is one of the most popular names in the country. Unfortunately, the club is now left with no space to practice, and Indian star Rishabh Pant recently came up to speak in favor of the club. Here are the 5 Notable Indian cricketers to come out from Sonnet Cricket Club 5. Ayush Badoni Ayush Badoni is one of the most recent sensations from the Sonnet Cricket Club. The middle-order attacking batsman has been one of the most popular youngsters in the Indian Premier League since last year. Being a versatile cricketer, he has been a great addition to the Lucknow Super Giants in the toughest T20 league. In First Class cricket, Badoni has an average of 57.75 with a highest score of 191. Adding on, he has been a decent contributor in the shorter format (T20s) with a good average of 24.25. His consistency in the middle order has helped Delhi in the domestic circuit. During the 2022 season of the IPL, he scored 161 runs by playing down the order. Currently, he has an improved and impressive strike rate of 143.82. In 10 games, Badoni has managed to score 191 runs in IPL 2023, and with age in his favor, he has a great opportunity to learn from the best in the business. 4. Ishan Kishan Another young sensation hailing from Sonnet Cricket Club who has been able to make waves at the domestic and international level is Ishan Kishan. The attacking wicketkeeper-batsman has been a student of the legendary coach Tarak Sinha at the club. Since the 2016 U19 World Cup, Kishan has been taking giant strides in the game. In 14 ODIs, Kishan has managed to score 510 runs at a decent average of 42.50. Recently, Kishan smashed a double century against Bangladesh, making him the first Indian to score an ODI double century on foreign soil. During that inning, Kishan scored 210 runs as he smashed the Bangladeshi bowlers all around the park. Currently, Kishan is a regular member of the Mumbai Indians squad. With the ODI World Cup looming around the corner, Kishan will be eyeing his chances in the prestigious tournament. For Sonnet Cricket Club, it will be a proud moment if Kishan gets into their list of alumni who have made it to the biggest stage. 3. Ashish Nehra Ashish Nehra is one of the most popular names in the game. Even after retiring, the left-arm pacer has been a terrific coach for the Gujarat Titans. His simplicity and calmness have helped players like Hardik Pandya to make a remarkable comeback into the national side. Nehra’s highlight of his career was when he revived his international career at the age of 36 during the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup. During that tournament, he was India’s most effective bowler. In First Class cricket, Nehra managed to pick 303 wickets with a best bowling figure of 7/14. Talking about T20s, he picked 162 wickets with an excellent economy rate of 7.70. In 120 ODIs he played, Nehra was a part of the iconic 2003 and 2011 World Cup sides. During the 2011 World Cup, he played a crucial role during the semi-final as he gave away just 33 runs in ten overs. 2. Shikhar Dhawan Without any doubt, Shikhar Dhawan will go down as one of the most stylish openers for India in limited overs format. Since 2013, he has been a big name in the Indian cricket circuit. Even though he has been replaced by a younger Shubman Gill, Dhawan has the talent and dedication to reclaim his throne. Hailing out of Sonnet Cricket Club, Dhawan has been a great limited-overs batsman for the national side. In 167 ODIs, he has scored 6793 runs at an impressive strike rate of 91.35. Adding on, he has 17 centuries to his name as well. Talking about T20Is, the Southpaw has scored 1759 runs in 68 games for Men in Blue Dhawan is well known for scoring runs on important occasions. During the 2019 World Cup, he was in great form as he scored a century against Australia. However, he got injured at the wrong time and India dearly missed Dhawan during the semi-final against New Zealand. 1. Rishabh Pant For Sonnet Cricket Club, it was Rishabh Pant who voiced his concern on the social media platform. Being the club's one of the most popular alumni, Pant has done a great job in grabbing the attention of the masses towards this serious issue. From being a promising talent for the club to becoming the best wicketkeeper-batsman in recent years, Pant has come a long way. The attacking batsman has been one of the most successful batsmen in Indian Test cricket already at the age of 25. In 33 Test matches, Pant has scored 2271 runs at an average of 43.67. He was instrumental in India's victories down under in 2018-19 and 2020-2021. During both tours, he made the bowlers pay every time they tried to intimidate the Indian batting lineup. Talking about the IPL, Pant has managed to score 2838 runs in 98 IPL matches at an impressive strike rate of 147.97.
