Piyush Chawla Biography
Piyush Chawla’s claim to fame was in a Challenger Trophy game when as a 16 year old, he had arguably the game’s greatest ever batsman - Sachin Tendulkar’s stumps rattled with a googly. Many speculated him to take over the spin reins after Anil Kumble’s retirement but sadly the youngster has flattered to deceive.
The UP lad who made his domestic debut aged 17 consequently made it to India’s 2006 Under-19 World Cup squad and after a stellar campaign became one of the India’s youngest ever players to be handed a Test cap when he debuted against England in 2006. However over the years, stiff competition and some lack lustre performances have resulted in him being shunted from side but selectors continue to keep him in the loop. He was included in the 15-member Indian squad for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and while he played only a few games without making much impact, he will live to tell the tale of how he was a part of a winning team.
A natural leggie who is not afraid to give the ball air, Chawla’s armoury also includes a good googly and a deceptive straighter one. A decent left hander, Chawla is yet to prove his mettle in the international arena but he does have the potential to be a genuine all-rounder in the future provided that he works consistently on his game.
