Baranbaki’s start with Youth Cricket Club Vipraj, who hails from Barabanki, UP, practices at the Youth Cricket Club there near the coach Sarwar Nawab. Nawab tells Dainik Bhaskar that when Vipraj was 10 years old, his father Vijay Nigam brought me to me. Vipraj’s father is a teacher.
Vipraj used to bat from the beginning. He was also interested in spin bowling. We also try in the academy to do both batting-bowling. His under-14 UP team was also selected as a batsman.
Vipraj and Ashutosh Sharma partnered 55 runs off 22 balls for the eighth wicket.
Under-19 got a chance to bowl from UP team Nawab says that Vipraj could not get the opportunity to bat in the under-16 in the zonal level tournament. In such a situation, his selection could not be done in the zonal team and due to this he could not even play in the state team. At the same time, during the under-19 trial, the selectors recognized his bowling skill and gave it to the team. Not only this, he started bowling from UP Under-19 and he was the best bowler at that time. Because of this, he was also selected as a bowler in the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Last year, he also scored runs along with taking wickets for UP in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He was the second top wicket in the UP Premier Cricket League last year. Delhi Capitals also selected him as a bowler.
Father took to the coach after seeing playing cricket in the street Vipraj used to play cricket with children in the street. Seeing his interest in cricket, his father Vijay Nigam found out about the Cricket Academy at Barabanki and took the coach Sarwar to Nawab.
According to Vijay, when Vipraj was 8 years old, he used to play cricket in the street. He was more interested in cricket. He was a normal student in reading. Seeing his interest, I asked him one day what you have to do. His reply was that I want to play cricket. I then came to know about the Cricket Academy and Coach in Barabanki. Whatever it is, it is due to the coach. I did not know anything about cricket.
