Yash Kripal- One young promising spinner to lookout for

 

Yash Kripal has been one effective bowler and past one year or so he has been a revelation of sorts. Being a left arm spinner, he has managed to stood out from many other spinners by being disciplined and delivering at the right time whenever needed. More than being a good performer, a real test of a player is conducted under crunch situations when the team is in dire needs and Yash has delivered right when his teams needed the best out of him.

As a bowler he has stood out and let the bowling attacks for whichever teams he has played for in the past one year. He has taken some big 5wkts hauls and hat-tricks not only at school level but has also delivered in the MCA level tournaments. Yash’s ability to soak the pressure and put the batsman under pressure by consistently bowling at tight line and length has made him a dangerous bowler. He is able to extract healthy spin from any wickets you make him play on and that’s where he stands out as a quality left arm spinner. Cricketgraph has consistently supported Yash and many other talented players and we are fortunate to track the progress of all these talented cricketers who are probably the future of India.
