He was a classmate of legend Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli who wasted a lot of talent. He also got Sachin-Kambli's guru Ramakant Achrekar as his cricket guru. Amol Anil Muzumder is the protagonist of today's story. That word 'wait' has been a regret of Amol Muzumdar's whole life.
When Sachin-Kambli is playing for India, Amol Muzumdar's career is still like that Harris Shield innings, sitting on the sidelines with the bat-pad ready, just waiting for an opportunity. But he never got that opportunity. Some people may have no choice but to wait for fate! So Amol muzumdar had to spend his whole life waiting. Five years later, in the 1993-94 Ranji Trophy, Amol played a brilliant 260-run innings for Bombay (now Mumbai) in his debut against Haryana in Faridabad. These innings lasted for twenty-five years as the highest run score of any batsman in first-class cricket. In 1994, Amol became the assistant captain of the India Under-19 team that toured England. From then on, he was considered the 'future star' of Indian cricket.

Despite having all kinds of batting talent and technique, Amol Muzumdar was stuck in the middle of time. Their careers came at a time when Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Sourav Ganguly were waiting to rule Indian cricket and India's middle-order. After Sachin and Kambli in the same school team, this time Amol's forehead was burnt by Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Sourav Ganguly. In 1995, Amol Majumder got a chance to tour England for the India 'A' team in the middle-order thinking with these three current greats.
Ravi Shastri and Navjot Singh Sidhu, two trustees of the Indian middle-order retired from international cricket. That is why the 1995-96 Duleep Trophy was being considered as an audition to fill the vacancies. Surprising everyone there, VVS Laxman became the highest run-getter with 395 runs. Rahul Dravid was second with 353 runs and Amol Muzumder was the third-highest run-scorer with a double century. Sourav Ganguly, who is in the fifth position, scored 306 runs. But one by one, even though everyone got a chance, Amol remained 'waiting'.
How many talents have been lost prematurely due to the negligence of not being able to bring the reflection of hard work in it despite having talent! They have failed themselves, they have destroyed the talent in the bud. You can't put Amol in that team. Amol has been waiting for his entire career due to his talent and efforts. Amol couldn't wear the blue jersey just because he was stuck in the middle of time. Successful are those who keep the door open and keep pursuing their dreams. Amol muzumdar was one of them.
Thanks a lot for participating in the contest.
