Playing for the Indian team is dream of every aspiring cricketer in the country. India is a cricket crazy country, and millions of fans watch this sport live whenever the matches happen. It does not matter if it is IPL or international matches, Indian audiences turn up in huge numbers.
There is an abundance of talent in India, which is why there is a stiff competition to break into the Indian team, be it at the senior level or the U-19 level. At times, it happens that the players who break into the U-19 team fail to make it to the senior team.
In this listicle now, we will look at the two such players who played for India at the U-19 level, but they played against India at the senior level.
1. Saurabh Netravalkar is playing for USA against Indian team
Left-arm pace-bowling all-rounder Saurabh Netravalkar played for India in the U-19 World Cup 2010. He even played domestic cricket for Mumbai, but he could neither break into the IPL nor the Indian senior side.
Thus, Netravalkar decided to quit Indian cricket and settle in the United States. He currently works for Oracle, but he has also been playing for USA. Today, while playing for USA, he dismissed India’s Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in T20 World Cup 2024.
2. Harmeet Singh
Harmeet Singh was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2012 U19 World Cup. He was a part of the IPL as well, where he played for Rajasthan Royals. However, the all-rounder has quit India and moved to the USA. Now, he is playing for the USA team against India in the T20 World Cup as well.
