How 19‑Year‑Old Tanmeet Baloda Dominated the Youth Test Against Australia

Born on 9 August 2008 in Palwal, Haryana, Tanmay Baloda has quickly become an all‑rounder for India’s under‑19 side. A left‑arm spinner who bats right‑handed, his 14‑wicket haul in the youth test against Australia showcased his ability to swing the ball and out‑think batsmen with his pivot and non‑bowling hand. Prior to this, Baloda played two first‑class games, taking ten wickets and adding 40 runs with the bat. Earlier this year he also featured in the Ranji Trophy against Assam, claiming six wickets, and performed well against Bengal with five wickets and useful lower‑order runs.
