IPL’s Lukman Meriwala: From being a fabricator to cricketer
The Indian Premier League (IPL) tagline ‘Where talent meets opportunity’ goes perfect for Lukman Meriwala, another left-arm fast bowler from Gujarat, who recently made his debut in the IPL.
However, do you know that Meriwala once had given up cricket to take up fabrication work in Sarnar village of Gujarat. However, he kept making attempts in cricket, even though he failed. However, the second attempt for the Makan-born bore fruit when he made his List A debut for Baroda in 2013.
The 29-year old is coming from a successful season for Baroda in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he played as the star for his side in their semi-final game against Punjab, where he picked up three wickets giving away just 28 runs.
