Skipper Manchekar further quipped- “Deepak is one hard working player who specially travels from Haryana to pursue cricket in Mumbai. The amount of hard work and consistent performances he puts made him worthy to get promoted up the order & i personally believe in supporting young talents. Hence sending him to open the innings worked wonders for the team & what better way than to get the 1st hundred of Samat Cup! “
