Coach of Sandeep Sharma, who picked up the highest wickets for any Indian and provided the much-needed impetus to the Indian bowling right through the Under-19 World Cup, said the pacer is thinking bowler.

“Sandy is a thinking bowler. The way he has incorporated useful changes in his bowling shows his calibre and will to learn. I am sure in the time to come, not only will he be a star for the Punjab senior team but also will soon secure a place in the national team,” coach Sandeep Bali was quoted saying by Indian Express.

“It was nice to see Sandy do well for India in such a prestigious tournament. When he called, he was beaming with joy. Before leaving for the World Cup, he had told me that his dream would be fulfilled if India could win the championship.

“I think he has evolved as a cricketer in the last two years. With the kind of exposure and grooming he has got in the recent past, I can only say that sky is the limit for him.”

“Since India won the World Cup, our phones haven’t stopped ringing. We are going to have a party tonight and a bigger one when our hero comes back,” his elder brother Shatrughan Sharma said.
