Rohit Sharma’s cricket academy, Crickingdom, has taken another significant step in its global expansion with the inauguration of its Jakarta branch. Former Indian pacer Dhawal Kulkarni was the guest of honor at the opening ceremony.
Crickingdom’s Growing Footprint
The Mumbai-based academy has been rapidly expanding its reach, with branches already operational in India, Singapore, Japan, the USA, and Bangladesh. The addition of Indonesia to this list is a testament to the academy’s growing popularity and ambition.
Rohit Sharma’s brother, Vishal Sharma, expressed his excitement about the Jakarta launch on Instagram, highlighting the academy’s mission to provide a pathway to success for aspiring cricketers.
“In the heart of Jakarta, Crickingdom Cricket Academy offering a pathway to success for every young cricketer with a dream. This launch is not just an event, but the beginning of a legacy that will shape the future of cricket in Jakarta. Wishing our partner a great success in coming future,” Rohit’s brother Vishal Sharma wrote.
Dhawal Kulkarni’s Involvement
Dhawal Kulkarni, who recently retired from first-class cricket after a successful career with Mumbai, was an ideal choice to inaugurate the Jakarta branch. His experience and knowledge of the game will undoubtedly be valuable to the young cricketers at the academy.
Challenges Ahead
While the expansion of Crickingdom is a positive development, the Indian cricket team faces challenges on the international front. The recent ODI series defeat against Sri Lanka has raised concerns about the team’s performance under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy.
Despite these setbacks, the growth of cricket academies like Crickingdom is essential for nurturing young talent and ensuring the future of Indian cricket.
The Indian cricket team is currently in the thick of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, battling it out to reach the finals and be crowned the ultimate Test champion.
In a surprising move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to scrap the Impact Player rule for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy (SMAT).
The ongoing ICC World Test Championship has witnessed batting brilliance from various corners of the cricketing world. With crucial matches still to be played, the race for the coveted top scorer title is heating up.
