Shivam Mavi: A rare fast-bowler captain vying to be back among the best
The HinduFast-bowling captains are for cricket what successful player signings are for Manchester United - a rarity. And now there is Uttar Pradesh fast bowler Shivam Mavi, who made a successful senior captaincy debut, leading Central Zone to a win over East Zone in the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal this season. We have a good team and everyone has been really supportive,” said Mavi before his side’s semifinal against West Zone. Fast bowlers in our country are usually conditioned to not put much effort in fielding as most of our grounds are not in great condition and usually, we are the most injury-prone of the lot,” said Mavi. On Wednesday, Mavi’s Central side will be up against West, which has a batting lineup at par with most international sides – Priyank Panchal, Prithvi Shaw, Cheteshwar Pujara, Suryakumar Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan and Arpit Vasavada.
