Shivam Mavi

Three years ago, Shivam Mavi sat inside his Noida home with his left leg resting on the sofa, thinking if he would still be able to rattle batsmen in Delhi cricket with his lightening pace. Mavi had injured his ACL and the thought of not playing cricket for a substantial period of time left him devastated. "Sitting at home was extremely frustrating. I was playing regularly and suddenly there was a stop and my mind was full of all negative thoughts. I may have even bowled quicker now had I not got injured — even around 147-148kmh," India's under-19 star bowler told mid-day before a World Cup training session in Queenstown.
