Suryansh Shedge’s all-round ambition: ‘Want to be the strike bowler and the go-to batter’

Mumbai’s Suryansh Shedge is gearing up for a high-stakes Ranji Trophy opener against Himachal Pradesh this Sunday, following a standout performance in India A’s recent three-match unofficial ODI series against Australia A. The young all-rounder delivered a match-winning package, scoring 79 runs—including a 60-ball 66—and claiming five wickets, showcasing his dual talents as both batter and bowler.

With a potential ODI debut for India on the horizon during the upcoming New Zealand tour, Shedge has been refining his game under the guidance of senior players and coaches, focusing on mental resilience and situational awareness in both departments. His technical adjustments and tactical discussions with figures like Hardik Pandya and Centre of Excellence mentors have sharpened his approach, particularly in high-pressure bowling scenarios.

Now, as Mumbai’s season kicks off, Shedge aims to prove he can be the team’s go-to performer in crunch moments, balancing volume-based preparation with match-day confidence.
