And now, thanks to some exceptional young cricketers, the city also looks deemed to some special things in Indian cricket. Here are a few such young cricketing talents from Vizag we need to look forward to.

Ricky Bhui

Ricky Bhui is deemed to be the next big thing in Indian Cricket. The talented youngster has already announced himself in the domestic circuits and is currently marching towards his dream of playing for the country. Scoring runs consistently, Bhui has now turned into a vital cog of his state team and was even a member of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in this year’s IPL. The Vizag-born cricketer has had the opportunity of working closely with the likes of Tom Moody, VVS Laxman, Muttiah Muralitharan, and is surely one to look out for in the future.
