In India, engineers frequently put their enthusiasm ahead of their credentials. Many of them become aware of their full potential during or after their engineering degree. Currently residing in Bengaluru, the state capital, Srinath just earned his eligibility as an umpire authorised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Originally aspiring to be a professional cricket player, Srinath is now qualified to officiate as one of the four umpires from a cricket match. He switched his attention from the sport to BE and earned his degree from BVB Engineering College, so regrettably, it remained a fantasy.
The tale of another engineer from the Karnataka town of Hubli, Srinath Kulkarni, is similar.
“I dreamed of being a successful cricket player. It didn’t occur. “I am now pleased that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has certified me as an umpire,” Srinath said, according to Prajavani (which was first translated from Kannada).
The Karnataka native came to Ahmedabad, Gujarat, to take the test and be chosen to serve as an umpire for the world’s wealthiest cricket board. Srinath was the only one of the 26 who passed the exam with flying colours, bringing him one step closer to his objective out of the many who took it. The results were released lately. His current goals are to make further contributions to cricket.
“In Ahmedabad, I took the BCCI umpiring exam in June. Results were released on July 3. My objective is to contribute to cricket and do well in BCCI matches, and I have a wonderful opportunity,” he stated.
After I informed my father that I wanted to play cricket, he signed me up for this Hubballi Cricket Academy. I received training from the academy’s Vijay Kamath. “I played for BDK Sports Club as well,” he added. I couldn’t play cricket after finishing engineering. In Bangalore, I started working. I was then chosen to officiate in the KSCA in 2014. I was doing umpiring in addition to my employment,” he said.
