Cricket tournament in India :

My cricket team was selected to play a state level tournament during June 2019.
On that particular day, my team captain was suffering from injury and team members made me as a captain to captain the team for that particular match.

I was the youngest among them, but still they chose to captain the team.
Captaining a cricket team is not that easy, we must have experience and good coordinated command over the team members, though being the youngest member of my team, I had no choice but to captain them and win the match to advanece to next round.

I had to chose bowlers to bowl their overs during particular time of the advancing match.

I had to make tough decisions during the last five overs, I observed that the opponent team were not good against spin bowlers and I brought my spin bowlers into attack and it worked. We took some early wickets and reduced their score.

Now batting which is a big deal, I had to send my team mates in a orderly manner according to the condition of the ongoing match. I did reverse thinking of sending middle order batsmen into the top order because the score to chase was very low,  as our bowlers performed well during bowling.

I actually inspired this method from our Indian Captain MS Dhoni when he did this is a match against Zimbabwe.

At least finally we won the match and advanced to the next round. I was praised by my team mates for my bowling attack.
