Born in Mumbai, Saurabh Netravalkar has played with Indian cricketers like KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat and Sandeep Sharma.
The cricket world witnessed one of the biggest upsets in the history of World Cups (be it T20 or ODI) as the USA stunned Pakistan in a Group A clash on Thursday night. It needed a special Super Over performance by Mumbai-born Saurabh Netravalkar of the USA to leave the Babar Azam-led Pakistan in shock. Netravalkar was tasked with the responsibility of defending 18 runs in the one-over eliminator in Dallas after scores were tied in the 40-over game. Netravalkar defied all odds and steered the USA to victory. He kept his cool and bowled brilliantly to give away just 13 runs for a famous win.

The man who once donned the India jersey as a junior, Netrvalakar shattered Pakistan's hopes of going off to a perfect start in the T20 World Cup 2024, instilling hopes in all those budding cricketers who aspire to play at the global stage.
Who is Saurabh Netravalkar?
Born in Mumbai on October 16, 1991, Netravalkar even played for the Indian U19 team in the 2010 World Cup. But, the competition in India didn't allow him to further hone his talent. The left-arm pacer is one of those bowlers who can produce pace and bounce from any kind of surface, and that is what he did against Pakistan on Thursday.
