Golden era!

Team India speedster Rudra Pratap Singh feels that the selection of as many as four cricketers from the State in Team India should be considered as a golden era of cricket in Uttar Pradesh.

"It's a great moment for all of us that a large chunk of team members of the national side belong to Uttar Pradesh, which has no dearth of talent," said Rudra during his short stay in the State Capital after returning from Australia.

"Suresh Raina, Piyush Chawla and Praveen Kumar are very talented and I am sure that these guys would surely make a mark, whenever they get a chance for this," said Rudra, adding, "Some more youngsters like Tanmay Srivastava etc. are coming up gradually at the senior level, and in future too we can see more faces of Uttar Pradesh in the Team India."
