Ranji Trophy: Pankaj Singh breaches the 400-mark

There has not been a more consistent fast bowler in Indian domestic circuit over the last decade than Pankaj Singh. Feels great Speaking to Sportstar on Wednesday, Pankaj Singh said, “It feels great to go past 400 wickets in Ranji Trophy. It is quite a big landmark because for a fast bowler to achieve it is a special thing.” Pankaj Singh, who played in two Tests for India against England in 2014 added, “When I started playing, I never thought I would be able to do this. More importantly, I want to leave on a high playing at my best, and as long as I feel I can do well, I will play.” Pankaj’s debut in Southampton was a forgetful one as he returned wicketless but things could have been different had Ravindra Jadeja held on to a catch of Alastair Cook or a close lbw shout against Ian Bell had gone his way. It is something the seamer agrees could have resulted in a different outcome, but added, “I have no regrets because I fully believe in the fact that you can’t change the past and if you are thinking about it you can’t focus on the present and future.” Speaking about his current team Puducherry, Pankaj Sigh added, “We have a very good professional set up here and if we continue to go in the right way, in three to five years, Puducherry can compete with the established teams.”
