Who is Suryansh Shedge?
Suryansh Shedge, a 20-year-old cricketer, was a member of Mumbai’s 17-person Ranji team the previous year. He was born on January 29, 2003 in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
He displayed his skills in the U-25 State A Trophy by amassing 12 wickets and 184 runs in eight games.
Shedge originally gained attention when he recorded the quickest triple century at the Giles Shield Tournament seven years ago.
Despite being known for his aggression and excellent wristwork, he hasn’t played any domestic cricket. Suryansh is a great fielder in addition to contributing with the ball.
Suryansh Shedge, then 13 years old, scored 326 runs in 137 balls for his school, Gundesha Education Academy (Kandivali), against SPSS Mumbadevi Niketan (Borivali), in a Giles Shield match (a Mumbai U14 school event).
Who are Suryansh Shedge’s parents?
Suryansh’s parents are Prashant Shedge and Priyadarshini Shedge.
Prashant is the group marketing head at Wockhardt Hospitals, and Priyadarshini previously held banking positions at HSBC and Citibank. The mother decided to pay close attention to Suryansh’s cricket practise.
Suryansh Shedge is a future star of Mumbai, says Mumbai U-25 head coach Rajesh Pawar
From March 2016 to April 2017, Suryansh Shedge took part in local competitions in Mumbai, where he scored 3502 runs in 58 games with the help of 21 fifties and 11 hundreds in various formats.
Suryansh, in the opinion of Mumbai U-25 head coach Rajesh Pawar, is a match-winner and symbolises the team’s future in domestic cricket.
Mid-Day cited a statement from Rajesh Pawar:
Suryansh is equally good in batting and bowling and can win us matches with his contributions. He is Mumbai’s future. I will give credit to the selectors for giving him a chance in the Ranji squad at the right time.
