At 16, the general public of youth remains busy figuring out what to do with their profession. However, 16-12 months old Prayas Ray Barman is an exception via a mile. On Sunday, the teenager made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) while he performed for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in opposition to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, he isn’t very distinctive from the men of his age, and he, too, has his duty as a scholar. Prayas appears for his elegance in 12 CBSE board assessments this 12 months and is unsurprisingly finding it hard to juggle between cricket and cricket. Just before his IPL debut, Prayas, who researched trade at the Kalyani Public School in Kolkata, turned to it for his Economics paper. He will now appear for his Entrepreneurship examination on April 4 before re-becoming a group member on the eve of the health in opposition to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 5.
Prayas’ father, Dr. Kaushik Ray Barman, discovered how difficult it is for his son to manage his studies and cricket. He additionally revealed that Prayas is getting complete help from the crew. “It’s tough, but he’s handling it. He has the whole team’s assistance,” Dr. Kaushik was quoted as announcing in The Indian Express.
“(Virat) Kohli, AB (de Villiers), and (train Gary) Kirsten are manifestly encouraging him on the nets. They have a few visible capabilities in him to choose him beforehand from the skilled duo of (Pawan) Negi and Washington Sundar,” he added.
Prayas’ father also discovered how Virat Kohli advised the young leg-spinner about his debut just moments earlier than the game. “We were shocked to see his call in the lineup for RCB’s third healthy. But he changed into now not nervous,” said Barman senior.
Record and an afternoon to forget:
Sunday changed into a blended day for Barman. He has become the youngest IPL debutant at 16 years and 157 days. The preceding youngest became Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb your Rahman at 17 years and eleven days for Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2018. But his pleasure soon became melancholy after Sunrisers batters hit him all around the park. The teen finally completed the sport with figures of zero for fifty-six off his four overs. Prayas started well and conceded six runs in his first over while bowling to David Warner and Jonny Bairstow’s likes. However, matters went downward for him as the unfastened-flowing batters took him to the cleaners in his next three overs.
