MSK Prasad says Shaik Rasheed helps him to remember Rahul Dravid, in procedure, disposition and robustness. "He can be our future No. 3 in red ball and white ball cricket," the previous India boss selector says of the Under 19 bad habit skipper, who gave a heavenly batting execution in the Under 19 World Cup.
Ask something very similar to Rasheed and his response is one of development and persistence, something Dravid was additionally known for. "We have quite recently won the Under 19 World Cup and we are elated. The triumph was a recognition for the holding among the players and the mentors have guaranteed we remained here (in the Caribbean) like a family. My future... I will take it the manner in which it comes. I want to work on my game and I will chip away at it," the Andhra kid tells Cricbuzz as he gets ready to get the flight home on Sunday morning.
MSK and Rasheed come from a similar town in Andhra, Guntur, and the previous India stumper has played a part in the improvement of the youthful batsman when he was the CEO of Andhra Cricket Association. "He gets a kick out of the chance to score before the wicket and bats late, giving himself adequate chance to play the ball. Those are generally excellent characteristics. What was most amazing was his disposition. He never looked shook when India were feeling the squeeze," Prasad says.
Rasheed held fast like a hard rock in each of the three knockout games in the World Cup. He hit a 26 in a low-scoring however extreme focus pursue in the quarterfinal against Bangladesh, moored the innings with a very much paced 94 in the elimination round against Australia and afterward set the coordinate with a constant 50 in the last against England, each of the three scores coming after early loss of wickets.
Yet, Rasheed considers how he figured out how to play those games in any case. "I never thought I got one more opportunity in the competition," he says thinking back when the Indian camp was hit by Covid-19 with about six players, including himself, were constrained into disconnection.
"I had surrendered any desire for having any more impact in the competition. Customary testing and 15-day quarantine and I thought the competition has finished for me," he reviews. "At that stage, the care staff has upheld us well, kept us propelling. We were in confinement and they would do standard video-calling and attempt to disclose us to regard this as a short physical issue stop and not as a Covid interruption. Mentors and VVS Laxman Sir would be on the call and they would let me know there is something else to play in the competition - quarterfinals, elimination rounds, last and that multitude of games. They attempted to ingrain a positive mentality."
Requested to clarify those innings in the knockouts, Rasheed says it worked out easily for him. "At first there was pressure however I attempted to play my regular game. I'm certain of my game and I played that way. In spite of the fact that there was very little practice before the knockouts (in view of the Covid-instigated segregation), we were certain. I had scored an unbeaten 72 in a training game against Australia and that provided me with a great deal of certainty."
Since the four-wicket win in the last in Antigua, Rasheed has been assaulted with calls and messages. "We host had a get-together. We commended the success, remained together. The holding is generally excellent. Also, yes I have had opportunity and willpower to answer every one of my calls and messages. I would react to all soon," he says.
Large numbers of his colleagues have enrolled for the IPL sell off yet he would not be one to go under the mallet as he has not played a List An or a top notch game, a need to be qualified to highlight in the IPL. Rasheed isn't frustrated all things considered. "Not actually," he says. "I will get my chances. On the off chance that I have not played for the current year it doesn't mean it is the apocalypse. I will qualify ultimately."
