Sachin who is nearing his quadragenarian life has contemplated retirement accepting the fact that his body would soon be incapable of coping with the physical requirements. It is at this time a kid has surfaced on the internet, with skills that resembled the Little Master in his youth. Only eight years old Krishna Narayan's vision in cricket is much higher than most of the crickets his age and many senior players too. A child prodigy in the sport, his excellent batting form and dexterity with the bat make him truly a unique sports person in the nation.
He had received attention from the world over after his father, Rajesh Kumar had put up one of his batting videos which left over five lakh viewers on the internet awestruck. Official cricketing bodies such as the Kerala Cricket Association were among the ones attracted by the videos. Rajesh talking to a popular media network mentioned that he had shot the videos to evaluate and better his son's form in the game but his nephew advised him to upload them to YouTube and garner the attention of the nation including several officials. It took very little time before the video went viral and officials didn't hesitate to team up with the extremely talented sports "kid".
Rajesh too has made commendable efforts in making his son become a fine cricketer. In today's world, where most of the people in our nation are running behind software jobs let our dreams of the childhood remain dreams and soon forgotten into the vacant past. Rajesh ensured that this is not the case with his son. He has personally nurtured his son in the game. Sports Authority of India trainer Biju George is now Krishna's coach. Biju says the kid has exceptional talent, a perfect form which is very well balanced. "In the very first glance you will know that the kid is able to pick up lengths with ease; which is not the scenario with other kids", he adds.
Krishna has also performed in one match officially with senior players in Thiruvananthapuram already but his target is nothing short of making it to the Indian Cricket team and playing with legends in the sport like Sachin Tendulkar.
Are we seeing another Sachin Tendulkar in the making?
