Not too concerned about the IPL auction: Rohan Kunnummal The debutant from Kerala
Rohan Kunnummal, has made a significant impression on the domestic circuit over the course of the past year. He turned into the main Kerala player to score up three progressive hundreds in the Ranji Prize last season. In September, Rohan continued his dream run by scoring a century in his debut for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy against North Zone. This season, the 24-year-old has also performed admirably in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Rohan was selected into the India A squad for the recent Bangladesh tour as a reward for his consistency. Rohan scored a 50 in Kerala’s opening match against Jharkhand to kick off the new Ranji season. The players are all thrilled about the excellent victory. In an interview with Onmanorama over the phone from Jaipur, Rohan stated, “We are looking forward to the game against Rajasthan, which began on Tuesday.”
Rohan
who hails from Palakkad and was raised in Kozhikode, had another initial accomplice against Jharkhand as P Rahul was not completely fit. Rohan Prem, a veteran who returned to the team after two seasons, demonstrated his point by scoring two 50s. With Rohan chettan, bat is a lot of fun. He has a lot of experience and bats well. After such a long absence, it’s not easy to come back,” Rohan stated.
Despite not playing in the two unofficial Tests against Bangladesh A, Rohan was thrilled to be in the India A squad. “I was so happy to meet Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav.” I could keep a close eye on these players despite the brief interactions. Watching them prepare for a match can teach you a lot.
Rohan is a natural attacking batsman who excels in all three formats of the game
I like to change with the circumstances. Every match is unique. I research the wicket and the bowlers. The emphasis is placed on hitting boundaries when playing the shorter versions of the game, particularly T20. I have worked on my fitness and power hitting. Due to our packed schedule, fitness is of the utmost importance, “remarked Rohan.
On Friday, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will take place in Kochi, and Rohan stands a good chance of being called up for the first time. To be honest, I’m not thinking much about the auction because it will be disappointing if I don’t get picked up. If I get a chance to play in the IPL, it will be a huge plus. Cricket has a completely different standard, and it will be such an educational experience.
Rohan has scored four first-class hundreds in seven matches, but he is aware that he needs to score big hundreds to keep the national selectors interested. My most recent score was 143. To be considered, I am aware that I must deliver significant blows,” added Rohan.
