INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Anukul Roy’s journey into the world of cricket began in the small town of Samastipur, where he initially honed his skills in local tennis-ball tournaments. Recognizing the limitations of his surroundings and the potential for growth, he made the pivotal decision to relocate to Jamshedpur, a city known for its vibrant cricket culture. This move marked the beginning of his serious commitment to the sport as he sought better opportunities to develop his talent. In Jamshedpur, he found a nurturing environment at the Jharkhand Cricket Academy in Kadma, where his skills flourished under the guidance of experienced coaches.

Anukul’s dedication to cricket and his striking resemblance to his idol, Ravindra Jadeja, led to him being affectionately dubbed “Samastipur’s Ravindra Jadeja” by fans and followers. This nickname not only reflects his playing style, which embodies the all-rounder spirit of Jadeja, but also highlights the promise he showed as a young cricketer. His ascent through the ranks was marked by significant performances, especially during his time with the India U-19 team. In 2017, he played a crucial role in the ODI series against England U-19, where he emerged as the highest wicket-taker, showcasing his ability to perform on international shores at a young age.

As he prepared for the 2018 Under-19 World Cup, Anukul faced a significant setback when a stress-related ankle injury threatened to sideline him. Despite this challenging situation, he displayed remarkable resilience. With the support of Rahul Dravid, who recognized Anukul’s potential and encouraged him to focus solely on his recovery, the young cricketer dedicated himself to rehabilitation. This unwavering determination paid off, as he made a speedy recovery that not only reinstated him in training but also secured him a place in the World Cup squad.

Anukul Roy’s story is not just one of talent but also of perseverance and the ability to rise above adversity. As he continues to carve his path in the cricketing world, the echoes of his early days in Samastipur and the support from cricketing legends like Dravid serve as reminders of the journey that shaped him.
