I have known Shubman since he was a kid, but I don’t know if he remembers me,” Simranjeet Singh, the left-arm spinner from UAE recollects with a shy smile.
On the eve of the biggest moment of his cricketing career, an Asia Cup game against India here, the 35-year-old from Ludhiana, distinctly remembers a talented 12-year-old, who would come for training at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) nets in Mohali.
“It was around 2011-12 and Shubman must’ve been 11 or 12. We used to train at the PCA Academy in Mohali from 6 to 11 am. Shubman would come with his father at around 11 am. I would also do a lot of extra bowling after our session. I don’t know if Shubman will recognise me, but during those days, I had bowled a lot to him,” said the journeyman cricketer.
