PIYUSH CHAWLA
Success spinner

“Line is optional, length is mandatory,” was the advice of the great Indian former test captain Erapalli Prasanna to the upcoming youngsters. And someone who has constantly followed-up with Piyush Chawla’s spells since his U-19 days would be able to tell the reason of this little star’s grand success. At 17 years of age at the 2006 Under-19 World Cup he finished as the highest wicket taker, and hasn’t looked back since.

Born in Aligarh, Piyush thanks the cricket-crazy nation to have instilled in him the thought and interest in cricket. “I have always been around people who spoke about cricket and worshipped the players,” he said. His big leap from domestic to international cricket at an early age was like walking up a dream castle. “The dream of playing for India was etched in my mind since childhood. My parents and my coach played a huge role in encouraging me to think of taking cricket as a profession,” gushed Piyush who felt that he belonged to international cricket after his Test debut against England at Mohali. Piyush had shown promise during the Challenger Series where a beautiful delivery had lead to the dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar. That being the foundation stone to the tower of success that he aims to build, India’s tour to Bangladesh in 2007 came as an opportunity that catapulted his cricket career. Having been a part of the young Indian cricket team where there are few to look up to and more to compete with, Piyush follows a simple motto. “It’s a team, a country that you’re playing for. So one can’t think of competing with the other. The opposition alone is the competitor. I always compete with myself. When I go out there to play, I tell myself to perform better than what I did the last time.”

Though he couldn’t quite make his mark during India’s record-creating ICC World T-20 victory Piyush left no stone unturned to prove himself in the CB Series against Australia. India’s youngest debutant after Tendulkar, Piyush, along with Ishant Sharma promises to give the Indian attack that vital edge.

Touted as a India’s great new spin hope and bowling all-rounder of the future, Piyush closes the conversation by disclosing his dream – “I want to be recalled as one of the most successful spinners of India, if not the world.”
