Cricket is to me what sun is to earth, water is to fish and air is to lungs ~ Krishna
Diagnosed with a tumor in his left knee leaving him out of the game for nearly a year and a threat of not being able to run again had Krishna down and out but with his true passion, vigour and love for the game he came back strongly and touched newer heights for his college team- SGGS College of Commerce.
Krishna Kandoi (see full player profile) is a right arm medium pace bowler, originally hailing from Nepal. Cricket is in his blood. His grandfather, father and his brothers all played for their respective college teams. He dreams to take this legacy a notch higher with his best efforts.
He has played for Under 15 Nationals (Nepal), Ravindra Club, SGGSCC Team, Ranibagh Cricket Club and few others. He had also been selected for Delhi University Top 30 twice and still has a year to go.
Some of his achievements:
- He was the youngest cricketer to be selected for U-15 nationals(Nepal),
- He became college vice-captain for 2015-16 season
- He is currently the highest wicket-taker for college in the last two years
- He picked up 2 five wicket hauls in the Delhi University Inter-college Cricket event
- He was a nominated for the outstanding performer of the year in his college for 2014-15
Last season he picked up a whopping 35 wickets in 13 matches and helped his team reach at least the last four stage of every event they were part of. This he terms as one of the highest points of his cricketing life.
He also terms his knee injury as the lowest point as a cricketer. He was forced to sit out for almost a year. The doctors had a doubt on him being able to run again, let alone play the game.
According to Krishna, “It has been a tough journey full of ups and downs but I hope I will succeed one day and make my parents proud.”
