INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Stuart Binny, born into a family deeply entrenched in the world of cricket, had the sport coursing through his veins from an early age. His father, a former Indian cricketer, took on the role of chief cricket coach at Binny’s school, imparting invaluable lessons that would shape his son’s athletic journey. While details about whether Stuart smokes remain unknown, it is clear that he has embraced a lifestyle that includes alcohol consumption, which is not uncommon in the sporting world.
Binny first captured the attention of cricket enthusiasts during his tenure in the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Despite the league’s closure initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which barred ICL players from representing the national team, Binny distinguished himself as a remarkable all-rounder. He made a significant impact on the tournament, amassing an impressive total of 804 runs and claiming 17 wickets, showcasing his versatility on the field. His performances did not go unnoticed, leading to his selection for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2007, when the Mumbai Indians secured his services for their squad.
The pinnacle of Binny’s career arguably came during a match against Bangladesh in 2014, where he delivered a stunning bowling performance that etched his name into cricketing history. Over the course of 4.4 overs, he conceded a mere 4 runs while claiming an astonishing 6 wickets, surpassing the legendary Anil Kumble’s iconic bowling figures of 6 for 12. This exceptional feat made Binny the holder of the best bowling figures for India, a testament to his skill and determination on the international stage.
In 2016, Binny’s career took another notable turn when he was acquired by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for his base price of INR 2 Crore during the IPL season. However, that same year also brought a challenging moment when he faced West Indian powerhouse Evin Lewis. In a single over, Binny conceded 32 runs, including five sixes, a wide, and a single. This performance was particularly poignant as Lewis narrowly missed breaking Yuvraj Singh’s record of hitting six sixes in an over in T20 cricket, leaving Binny with a mix of pride and frustration from that encounter.
Throughout his cricketing journey, Stuart Binny has proven himself to be a resilient figure, showcasing his talents both at domestic and international levels. With cricket firmly rooted in his lineage, his career continues to be a source of inspiration for aspiring cricketers, affirming that the legacy of one’s family can indeed lead to extraordinary achievements on the field.
