Reetinder Sodhi first hit the headlines as captain of the India Under-15 side which won the world title back in 1996, and later played a key role in another World Cup triumph - with the India Under-19 team at Colombo last year. The young man shows tremendous fighting spirit on the field, his fielding often matching world standards, and his batting is positive and composed under pressure, as at Bulawayo recently, when he partnered Samir Dighe in a dream rearguard stand. His bowling, however, lacks fire, tending towards military medium pace. An area for the youngster to work on.
