New DelhiDo not be male, do some work to the mind and do some name by staying in the world, this is the line of Maithilisharan Gupta’s poetry who fits on every person who struggles with circumstances and makes the way for himself because they know that they can be named in the Jag only by doing some work. There is a similar story of Vignesh Puthur.

A boy was sitting in front of the TV and was swinging between hope and expectation, then disappointed and starts preparing to sleep after closing the TV, then the friend got a call that he/she has taken him/her by Mumbai Indians in his/her team. At first he/she felt that friends are having fun, but then there was no place for his/her happiness on checking the website.

Vignesh’s dream of awake eyes came true

Running on a long run up in childhood, Vignesh saw the dream of playing with all the superstars of the Indian team at every step. At the behest of her senior, Vignesh started spin bowling short but the dream was as big. Sapna Rohit Sharma, Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, who are fans, to play with them. Sapna to see her name in an official tweet on Mi’s X handle. All this was possible because he/she was working hard to reach his/her destination. The IPL 2025 MEGA auction was running Jeddah of Saudi Arabia, Vignesh Puthur had kept his/her base price of Rs 30 lakh, the minimum for an unaccounted player. In the first round, no one showed interest in him/her. That is why Vignesh felt, this year could not be made, but in the accelerated round, MI finally made him/her part of his/her squad. Vignesh Kuldeep Yadav is also very big fan and wants to play for India like him/her.

The future of the house will change with spin

Vignesh’s father Sunil Kumar is an autorickshaw driver and mother Bindu PK is a housewife. Vignesh started cricket at the age of 11. Mohammad Sharif, a local club cricketer, advised him/her to try the spin bowling of the wrist. Initially he/she did not even know the meaning of “Chinaman”, but he/she enhanced his/her art. Although he/she did not play domestic cricket on the senior level for Kerala, just played at the under-14, under-19 and under-23 levels.

Vignesh’s bowling variation

Vignesh’s Chinaman bowling variation, all rounder capacity, googly and leg-spin caught the attention of Mi Scouts. Mi called him/her for a trial in Mumbai. There he/she bowled the big players of the team in the nets. In the first trial, he/she got just one over, but his/her talent impressed the coaching staff. MI’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene gave him/her some suggestions, which increased his/her confidence and improved technic. The first match of Season 18 may have lost the Mi match, but Vignesh has proved that he/she was entitled to this opportunity, Well Desering Player. In place of Rohit Sharma, Vignesh came as an impact player and took 3 big wickets. In his/her first over, Vignesh caught captain Rituraj Gaikwad at the hands of Will Jax on the long-off. Gaekwad was in excellent form by scoring 53 runs in 26 balls. Then in the next over, he/she dodged Shivam Dubey with his/her googly, catching Tilak Verma on long-on, then in the eleventh over, Hooda tried to play slog sweep off his/her ball, but was caught out at Deep Square leg. he/she gave only 16 in 3 overs. This was his/her first professional T20 match, as he/she has not yet been able to play senior domestic cricket for Kerala. It is very important for a spinner to be a big heart and the way Vignesh bowled against the legendary batsmen that it is clear from this that the fear of killing is not inside this bowler at all.
