  • Bengaluru Boy’s Remarkable Comeback: Mithun Chakravarthy’s Unwavering Comeback Redefines Cricketing Resilience

    Bengaluru Boy’s Remarkable Comeback: Mithun Chakravarthy’s Unwavering Comeback Redefines Cricketing Resilience

    Mithun Chakravarthy

    Bengaluru (Kernataka) [India], January 20: In a remarkable turn of events, Bengaluru’s cricket prodigy, Mithun Chakravarthy, who once held the world record for scoring an astonishing 354* runs in a single match at the age of 16, is back on the field after overcoming a career-threatening setback.

    Back in 2015, the then 16-year-old Mithun Chakravarthy stunned the cricketing world by breaking the longstanding record of a 664-run partnership between legends Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli set in 1987-88. His unbeaten knock of 354 runs in 40 overs match propelled the team to an astounding total of 729 runs, showcasing his exceptional talent and determination.

    However, just a year later, adversity struck as Chakravarthy encountered a devastating blow, a career-threatening injury to his left thigh while practicing in the cricket nets. The young cricketer was forced to confront the harsh reality that his cricketing journey might be cut short. Despite the setback, Mithun Chakravarthy faced this adversity head-on with resilience and determination.

    “It was a tough phase in my life. Cricket was not just a game for me, it was my passion, my life. But I knew I had to tackle this situation with strength all by myself,” shared Mithun Chakravarthy in an exclusive interview. “I spent years thinking about my lost career and opportunities due to the unexpected injury. However, my determination to return to the field was unwavering, and I took on the road to recovery with everything I had.”

    The doctors advised him to step away from the game for a minimum of five years at the tender age of 17. It seemed like the end of a promising cricketing career for a player who had already left an indelible mark on the sport at such a young age. 

    Fast forward to the present day, Mithun Chakravarthy, now 25 years old, has scripted an inspiring comeback story. Remarkably, just two months after undergoing modern laser surgery to address the lingering injury, Chakravarthy is back on the cricket field, displaying the same passion and determination that defined his teenage years. This swift return not only showcases his resilience but also emphasizes the effectiveness of the cutting-edge medical intervention that facilitated his rapid recovery. Acknowledging the hurdles he faced during his recovery after the surgery, Mithun shared, “The path to healing was hard, but the strides in modern medical technology were instrumental in my comeback. My inner drive and commitment played a pivotal role in overcoming the obstacles,” he emphasized.

    Mithun’s former coach, Mr. JK Srikanth, who witnessed the prodigious talent during the cricketer’s formative years, expressed both admiration and a hint of sadness. “Mithun was a rare gem, his talent, dedication, and on-field skills were remarkable, making it evident that he was destined for extraordinary achievements in the world of cricket. It’s both heartening and heartbreaking to witness him overcome past challenges due to the injury and make a return to the cricketing field with the same passion. Yet, there’s a lingering sadness for the potential cut short by that unfortunate injury,” expressed Mr. JK Srikanth. 

    As Chakravarthy steps back onto the cricket field after 7 long years, he not only carries the weight of personal triumph but also becomes a symbol of inspiration for those who face setbacks in their pursuits. In a world where stories of comeback and triumph resonate deeply, Mithun Chakravarthy’s journey stands as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the undying spirit of pursuing one’s passion against all odds.

    Wheelchair Cricket Match

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 11: Today a unique scene was seen at Colgate Ground in Khairwadi, Bandra East in Mumbai. Boys from neighboring settlements keep playing in this ground. And if it is Sunday then there is even more crowd of children in the ground. There is a children’s cricket match. But today the atmosphere was different. All the children had left their games and gathered at one place in the ground. When I went inside and saw from the crowd, my eyes were shocked.

    On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi Samman Award 2023, Maharashtra Wheelchair Cricket Match was organized by HELP CARE FOUNDATION. This event was organized by social worker Shabnam Shaikh, President of HELP CARE FOUNDATION. On the occasion of the anniversary of Help Care Foundation. Big leaders/actors organize cricket match events, but no one has organized a cricket match for the disabled. Shabnam ji has done that work. That speech is definitely appreciated.

    This match was not that kind of match. How will people who are handicapped or disabled play the match? How to bowling? How will they batting? How will they do fielding? All these questions come in the mind of common man. These disabled people answered all these questions by showing their game. Changed negative thoughts into positive thoughts in their life and achieved victory in life. This sight was worth seeing. Hats off to all players.

    There were two teams in the match, INDIA YELLOW and INDIA BLUE. The captain of India yellow team is SHAHID ANSARI and the captain of India blue team is RAMESH SARTAPE. Shabnam Sheikh ji bowled the toss. Team Blue came to bat first. It was a 5-5 over match. Players of both the teams, SANTOSH KOKARE and PARSHURAM DESALE scored hat-tricks by hitting 4 consecutive times. The audience clapped and raised their heads above the entire ground. Team Yellow fielded well. Finally Team Blue scored 55 runs and the overs were over. Then India yellow team came to bat. Team Yellow got rid of everyone’s sixes. Very good batting. In the end two runs and four balls were left. Team Yellow won the match by 58 runs by hitting 4 on 4 in the last match. The cup was given to INDIA YALLOW TEAM and man of the match was given to PARSHURAM DESALE.

    SHABNAM SHAIKH, PRESIDENT OF HELP CARE FOUNDATION, had organized a very good event. Shabnam ji did not sit on the chair even for a minute during the entire event. Run here and there, she did everything herself. Every guest, players, audience who came to the event was taken care of. Tea, water, cold drinks, breakfast and lunch were organized for everyone by the foundation. Along with Shabnam Shaikh ji, Imran Pawar ji of HELP foundation also had great support in this event.
