Uttarakhand didn’t have affiliation from BCCI at that time, so I decided to go Banglore, my coaches backed me. The journey was not comfortable and had to work for my cricket practice. I scored good in local cricket then selected for the KPL. I was clear from the mind that I have to improve every day, and that’s how I prepare myself. I shared a lot of with senior plays who represented India, and that helped me to develop my game. I missed last year Uttarakhand trail due to the KPL contract. But this year was sure that I have to participate in the trails. Dikshanshu said Karnataka experience helped me.
