Everyone knows the story of Kambli-Sachin's famous school cricket partnership. The immortal glory of their third wicket partnership will never be lost in the flow of time. But Amal Majumdar's loss also started from that day. Coming to this plot of the story, the reader's natural question may be, where exactly is Amal Majumdar's relationship with this couple? The relationship is not direct but somewhat indirect. Shortly after the first wicket fell, a 13-year-old boy was waiting for Pad, the guard, to enter the field. Throughout the day, he has practiced on the net, stretched, and may have thought it was his turn! No, the boy didn't get a chance to bat anymore, while waiting he saw Sachin-Kambli's violence at 22 yards. When the team announced the innings, Sachin-Kambli is still undefeated! Cricket taught the boy the horrible pain of waiting. The boy carried the education throughout his career! The boy is no longer waiting for that metaphor! Ranji's superhero didn't wear the adorable blue jersey. The boy's name is Amal Majumder. In the nineties he was called Next Sachin.

He had world record! 260 runs in a brilliant innings First class cricket debut match! The record lasted until 2018. Amal was the second highest run scorer in the history of Ranji Trophy. But why did fate deceive him? Let's go back in time to Indian cricket of the nineties! Amal was then at the peak of his form, a fountain of runs in the domestic. Co-captain of the under-19 team, which means it is well visible to the selectors! Viewers have already started thinking of him as the next Sachin. The audience can't be blamed, Amal's ability as well as being able to play with a cold head is forcing him to float on the wings of a dream! England ‘A’ team tour of India in 1995. Sidhu and Manjrekar's retirement news was in the air then. There is a vacancy in the middle order of India! The selectors also sat motionless about the tour of this team. The ordeal of youth! Amal lost the fight to get a call in the Test series, but another young man caught his eye. The wall of resistance of that young man named Rahul was steel hardened, which later saved the middle order of India from innumerable storms. Yes, The Wall famous Rahul Dravid started under the vice captaincy of Amal Majumdar! Ah, let me tell you another piece of information, another cricketer played in this team, Sourav Ganguly.

While the selectors kept their eyes on Dravid, the opportunity was for all the emerging youngsters. Do you know who was in the race? Dravid, Saurabh, Lakshman and Amal! That Duleep Trophy in 1995/96 was a shining chapter in the history of Indian cricket. What for everyone? Who is going to be the leader of India's middle order? Drama, suspense, the lucky trophy season! Surprisingly, the sign 'Topped the Chart' with 395! Dravid is second with 353, Amal is not far behind, 333, which has a double century inside. Saurabh 308 to 5. Sweet problem, but the selectors solved it with simple math. Dravid was given a chance, taking into account the inconsistency of Laxman. This time the competition is Amal and Sourav! Even from behind in terms of runs, Sourav went ahead with the help of 171 runs against the strong bowling of West Zone! Amal's waiting increased! Dissatisfaction with Sourav's selection was felt by many spectators. Sourav pressed them on the England tour, raising the bat in his debut! Not once, but twice in two consecutive Tests! Dravida also began to reciprocate the trust! Amal had to lose the first phase of the fight without making any mistake! In the Indian team, three legends were ahead, meanwhile Amal's run flood in Ranji. Will the opportunity come? 1993/94 - 2003/03 at an average of 50 runs over 6000! What else could Amal do? Opportunity came twice in the fifth / sixth position, but the place of Amal's strength is number three / four!

He is now well known as a coach. He has worked in the IPL and also as a batting consultant for the South African team. Amal himself may not have thought of getting a chance at number 3/4 by removing Sachin Dravid, but didn't Amal have a caliber? Many who saw him play but thought he was on par! Yes, Great Sachin, equal to Dravid! Although Sourav's inconsistency could have opened the door, Dada became a captain and closed that path as well. History knows four legends, unknowingly forgets the fifth, which brought with it all the tools to be a legend. In one of the interviews, Amal said that he had never visited any of his friends or family in his cricket career and did not even celebrate his birthday. Discipline, cricket profit, passion, the dedication of everything was just for one purpose, to represent India! What a joke of the time - a Kambli, who blows his own talent away in a storm of indiscipline, and an Amal Majumdar, who, despite being the epitome of discipline, cannot fly in the wind of talent!
