    Son of bus conductor helps India win U-19 Asia Cup
  • India created history when they won the U-19 Asia Cup 2019 for the record seventh time on Saturday.

    As a result, a number of deserving young Indians have displayed their talents and a glimpse to the future.

    One youngster to make an impact is Atharva Ankolekar, who finished as the highest wicket-taker for the side.

    Here, we present his story.

  • Ankolekar's father had passed away at the age of 10, who had inspired him to play cricket and take up the sport as his profession.

    Meanwhile, he has been raised by his single mother, who currently is a bus conductor in Mumbai, working for BEST, as she was awarded the job following his father's demise.

    Ankolekar is currently studying commerce in a city college.

    She also thanked her friends, colleagues and the coaches (Suren Ahire, Prashant Shetty, Diwakar Shetty, Nilesh Patwardhan, and Arup Pai) for their support, for helping his dream come true.

  • Meanwhile, Vaidehi also stated that despite Ankolekar's flawless performance in the tournament, there is a scope for improvement, since it is just the beginning of his career.

    "It's a big day for us. But, he should not rest on his laurels and should work harder for days to come," she added, asides stating that all their family members are really excited to see him.

    Vaidehi impressed with Ankolekar's fast maturity

  • "I was struggling to keep the house running, so couldn't give as much attention to the kids as I wished, but Atharva looked after himself and young Parth. His maturity comes to the fore on and off the field," Vaidehi further quoted to The Hindu.

  • Match report

    How did the match pan out?

    How did the match pan out?
  • Winning the toss, India elected to bat first, as they failed to get off to a good start and were bundled for a paltry total of 106, within 33 overs.

    However, India came up with a commendable performance to defend the total, as Ankolekar became a nightmare for the Bangladeshi batsmen, who claimed 5/28 to spin the match away in favor of India.

  • Do you know?

    Ankolekar received autographed pair of gloves from Sachin Tendulkar

  • In 2010, when Ankolekar was playing in the local cricketing circuit, he had managed to impress Sachin Tendulkar, who was overseeing his match. Following the match, Tendulkar presented him with an autographed pair of gloves, which is a prized possession for him.
