Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25: Smaran’s heroics prove childhood coach Syed Zabiulla’s instincts right

The Hindu  

“In the league stage, many will score runs. But the one who scores runs in the knockouts is the king.” R. Smaran would have been reminded of his childhood coach Syed Zabiulla’s counsel from his days in junior cricket when he strode out on the big stage - the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts. A ‘very hyper’ and ‘naughty’ kid, as Zabiulla recalls, Smaran always exuded exemplary patience. RELATED | Karnataka crowned champion for fifth time after outclassing Vidarbha in final Though Smaran showed promise, Ravichandran, a mechanical engineer, wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. “When he played Karnataka U-14, I knew that he is going to be the Karnataka middle-order bat going forward.” Karnataka’s youngsters stepped up to deliver the State a much-awaited title, and chief selector J. Abhiram says Smaran is at the forefront of it.
