उत्तर
Urchin Batulkar was born at Jhumritilaiya in Jharkhand on May 5, 2010. 1 am fortunate that he is my childhood friend. Both of us went to the nearby government school. It was our sports teacher who first spotted the child prodigy in Urchin Batulkar. He groomed Urchin since the age of 7. After getting properly trained by our sports teacher he represented our school in a competition at Ranchi, where he was spotted by Dhoni, the then captain of the Indian cricket team. Dhoni promised to take him under cricket academy. So, by the time Urchin became 12 years old he was already coached by many pros of the game.
He became man of the series in World Under 15 Tournament by scoring the most number of runs. Then at a ripe age of 15 the time for his tryst with destiny came. He was selected for the India-Australia Test series which was to be played in Australia. Once in Australia Urchin discharged all the pace batteries of the Australian cricket team. He was rewarded with the Man of the Series award once again. At the zenith of his career he has already surpassed insurmountable records set by masters of tester years. The only award that is eluding him is the highest award of the land, ‘The Bharat Ratna’.
