Boy’s own

 

Boy’s own

(By .PRIYADARSHINI PAITANDY--The Hindu metro plus)

 

  

Chat Eighteen-year-old B. Aparajith, part of the victorious U-19 World Cup cricket team, speaks about balancing studies and sports

Aparajith is feverishly flipping through a Commerce textbook with one hand and spinning a cricket ball with the other. 
“As long as I have this in my hand I can’t really focus on anything else,” he smiles putting aside the ball. A Class XII student of St. Bede’s school, Chennai, this all-rounder, a key member of the victorious U-19 World Cup team, has been playing matches for most of the calendar year. 
As a result, he missed appearing for three subjects in the board exams. That explains the disgruntled expression on his face.

“I am used to this now. I feel most students who play sports also do well in studies because they know how to manage time. I scored 82 per cent in my Class X exam,” he says. 

The 18-year-old cheers up as we start discussing cricket and says that as long as he gets to play the sport these small sacrifices don’t matter because the game has given him so much.

“When we came back in August from our Under-19 World Cup win in Townsville, Australia, the welcome we got at the Mumbai and Chennai airport was awesome. At Mumbai people had gathered to greet us with garlands.

 The BCCI had organised a felicitation programme for us.”

At the finals, they had to chase down a target of 225. Aparajith batted at No. 3 and scored 33 runs and took a wicket. On the whole he scored a total of 171 runs and took five wickets in six matches. “It was a good wicket and our coach told us to play to our potential and treat it like a normal match. It was nice to play under Unmukt’s captaincy. He is calm and gives bowlers enough freedom,” says Aparajith.

The team spent 25 days in Townsville, where they would often get invited by Indian families for dinner. Since it’s a quiet town, the boys didn’t have much to do apart from practising and bonding with each other. “Sachin Tendulkar spoke to us just before we left for the World Cup. He highlighted the importance of team spirit and dealing with pressure. He told us when the team is together we can handle pressure better. His advice helped,” says the youngster.

Even though he has played numerous league and Ranji matches, Aparajit feels the World Cup win has brought him more recognition. 

“It’s an advantage because you can break into the National team from here. But it takes time and a lot of hard work.”

Given that brother Indrajith is into competitive cricket and father the media manager of the National side, was there any pressure on him to take up cricket? “Not at all. My brother and I were four when our father put us in a coaching academy. I used to enjoy the game. At seven I had the ambition to play for the country. At nine I played for the State, then for the U-13, U-16 and now U-19.”
 

Sibling revelry

And how is it having a twin brother playing the same game? Is there any sibling rivalry? “I would say it’s an advantage.
 We always talk and discuss our game and advise each other on ways to improve. When I was away for the World Cup, he would watch me play and call to give feedback. And as for rivalry there isn’t any.

 

 In fact I can’t even remember the last time we fought.” Apparently, the only thing they ever fought over was the remote control. To avoid any tussle over clothes, the twins’ mother always bought them same clothes in the same colour. Indrajith is the older of the twins, by 26 minutes.

“He is also the active one. I am lazy. Every time there is an early morning practice, he wakes up first and gets ready and then I get up,” grins Aparajith.

Just back from playing the Challenger Trophy in Rajkot, where he was part of the winning India B team, Aparajith is now playing the first division league match for India Cements.

“There is not much I do apart from playing cricket,” he confesses.

 He is a newcomer to the world of leisure reading and is currently reading Michael Phelps autobiography No Limits .

“My coach asked me to read it as it’s inspirational. I listen to music and whenever I get time I hang out with friends and watch movies. At other times I am busy cramming studies in between cricket practice,” he smiles.

So without much ado we let him do just that — get back to his text books.

RANJI TROPHY

" OLDEST TROPHY" WITH  "NEW FORMAT"

Ranjitsinhji, in whose honour the trophy was established in 1934

                                     ^{(Ranjitsinhji  -inventor  of the late cut and leg glance)}  



History
 <sup>The competition was launched as "The Cricket Championship of India" following a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in July 1934, with the first fixtures taking place in 1934–35. The trophy was donated by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. The first Ranji Trophy Championship was won by Bombay after they defeated North India in the final.
It was an instant success, specially among British living in India. In fact, Ranji Trophy went smoothly even when all went to Second World War in 1939-45.
The unique rule of Ranji trophy, then and even now, is first innings lead. If teams fail to register outright wins, whichever made more runs with first 10 wickets is adjudged the winner. or promoted further in the championship.


Format

Most of the teams playing in the Ranji Trophy represent states of India; there are two teams representing regions within a state (Vidarbha and Saurashtra); three teams that represent individual cities (Mumbai, Baroda and Hyderabad) and two teams based in Delhi but with no regional affiliations (Railways and Services).

From its inception until the 2001-02 season, the teams were grouped geographically into four or five zones – North, West, East, and South, with Central added in 1952-53. Initial matches were played within the zones on a knock-out basis until 1956-57, and thereafter on a league basis, to determine a winner. Then, the individual zone winners competed in a knock-out tournament, leading to a final which decided the winner of the Ranji Trophy. In the 1970-71 season, the knock-out stage was expanded to the top two teams from each zone, a total of ten qualifying teams. This was expanded again to the top three from each zone in 1992-93, a total of fifteen qualifying teams; between 1996-97 and 1999-2000, the fifteen qualifying teams competed in a secondary group stage, with three groups of five teams, and the top two from each group qualifying for the knock-out stage; in all other years, a full fifteen-team knock-out tournament was held.

The format was changed in 2002–03 season with the zonal system abandoned and a two-division structure was adopted – the Elite Group, containing fifteen teams, and the Plate Group, containing the rest. Each group has two sub-groups who play a round-robin; the top two from each sub-group then contest a knock-out tournament to determine the winner. The team which finishes last in each Elite sub-group is relegated, and both Plate Group finalists are promoted, for the following season. For the 2006–07 season, the divisions were re-labelled the Super League and Plate League respectively.

In the 2008–09 season, the current format was adopted to allow Plate Group teams to contest the Ranji Trophy. The top two from each Plate sub-group contest semi-finals; the winners of these two matches then join the top three from each Super League sub-group in an eight-team knock-out tournament. The winner of this knock-out tournament then wins the Ranji Trophy. In 2010-11 season, history was created when a plate group team "Rajasthan" not only entered into the Elite Group but went on to win their maiden Ranji Trophy final.

Knock-out matches in the Ranji Trophy are decided on the first innings result if the final result is a draw.The matches are a 4 day match format except for the final which is played for five days just as a regular test match.</sup>

NEW FORMAT  "2012-2013"

 BCCI Technical Committee headed by former India captain" Sourav Ganguly" Design the new format and BCCI decide  to introduce the format with nine teams in three groups and a revised points system for the Ranji Trophy tournament from the 2012-13 season

According to the new format, the 27 teams will be divided into three groups of nine teams each and each team will play eight matches in the league stage. In the previous format, Elite Division was divided into two groups of eight teams (A) and seven teams (B). The Plate Division was divided into two groups (A and B) consisting of six teams each.  

The new format had two major changes in Ranji Trophy format. There will be nine teams in three groups A, B and C. Each team will play eight matches in the league stage and there will be promotion and relegation,

 Ranji Trophy Groups

Group A:

 1 Rajasthan 2 Mumbai 3 Hyderabad 4 MP 5 Saurashtra 6 Railways 7 Bengal 8 Punjab 9 Gujarat

Groupd B: 

1 Tamil Nadu 2 Haryana 3 Maharashtra 4 Karnataka 5 Uttar Pradesh 6 Baroda 7 Delhi 8 Vidarbha 9 Odisha

Group C:

 1 Himachal Pradesh 2 Kerala 3 Andhra Pradesh 4 Services 5 Tripura 6 Goa 7 Jharkhand 8 Jammu & Kashmir 9 Assam.
 

"The changes will make the competition even and each team will play a few more matches.

The new format brings parity in the number of matches that the teams will play against each other in the league stage. Earlier, in the Plate Division, a side could play five matches at the preliminary level.

The top three from group B at the end of the season would be promoted to group A, while the bottom three from the latter group would be relegated to group B. The last two from group B would go down further to group C, from where the top two would be promoted to group B.

Besides, the format design to make the quarter-finals and the semi-finals of the tournament five-day affairs instead of the four-day matches that were played till this season. Top three teams each from group A and B and top two teams from group C will play in the quarterfinals. The final will remain a five-day match as has been the practice. 

Other important  change in the Ranji Trophy was points system.  The winning team in each match should get six points while a drawn match should fetch three points each for both the teams," .

Earlier in drawn matches, the team which takes first innings lead gets three points while the other side collects one point.

If in the Ranji Trophy knockout phase, a result on first innings is not obtained at the end of the fifth day, then the match will be extended into a sixth day. If a result on first innings is not obtained even at the end of the sixth day, then the winner will be decided on the spin of a coin. 

Regarding the Ranji Trophy points system, an outright win give the team six points while both teams will get three points each in case of a tie on both innings. If a team wins by an innings or by 10 wickets, it will get one bonus point.

A first Innings lead but no outright win will give the team three points while a loss on first innings will fetch one point. A tie on first innings without outright result will result to both teams getting one point each. If the innings results were not achieved with or without weather interference, one point will be awarded to each team.
