The legacy of Saurabh Tiwary in Jharkhand cricket is extraordinary. Following his announcement of retirement on February 19, the last day of Jharkhand’s Ranji Trophy campaign, Tiwary was showered with respect by both rivals and teammates. The opposition players gave him a guard of honour during his last over against Rajasthan, demonstrating the high regard he has in the cricket community.
Saurabh Tiwary, who played for India in three One-Day Internationals towards the end of 2010, had a great time in the Indian Premier League, appearing in 93 games over the course of 11 seasons. Notably, Jharkhand won the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2010–11, their first domestic championship, under his direction. His remarkable record of 8076 first-class runs, 4050 List A runs, and 3454 T20 runs will be remembered for years to come. He also left behind a rich cricketing legacy. His services have had a lasting impact on Jharkhand’s cricket scene.
It’s difficult to say goodbye to your favorite thing, my friend. It was quite emotional when I walked out of the dressing room and onto the field. My entire life, from childhood to the present, passed before my eyes. This is where I began my career [at Keenan Stadium], and this is where I’m ending it. My favorite people had arrived to share in the occasion, including my coach, Kajal Das.
Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how you feel,” Saurabh Tiwary remarked.
“I’ve learned two things from cricket. The first is that everything in life is something you have to strive for, and the second is that you have to accept that you won’t get everything. Some things will always be out of grasp, according to Tiwary. “I couldn’t fulfill my hope that we would win the Ranji Trophy. That brings up the point about giving everything you have. I shall now attempt, albeit indirectly, to contribute to the team’s Ranji Trophy victory. And I’ll do everything in my power to make that happen,” he continued.
I wanted to test him and see if he was afraid. Kajal Das
Saurabh Tiwary walked across the field, clearly moved by the end of the final game. He gave the earth a gentle kiss as tears filled his eyes. It was a moving moment that demonstrated his strong bond with the game. Former Jharkhand team coach Kajal Das was present and gave a story that illuminated the character of the southpaw and showed what lay beneath the cricket field.
“A ball struck his skull during training when he was perhaps 15 or 16 years old. His wounds need sutures. He left for the hospital and returned immediately to me. I wanted to test him to see if he was terrified, so I told him to pad up and go bat in the nets, which he did. Saurabh is the most committed pupil I have ever had. He has an unrivaled will to be on the ground and to score runs,” Das recollected.
