Pitch Perfect

A nobleman once described cricket as one of the deadliest sports on the planet. This description, however, seems to be ridiculed by some proficient players who make the game look quite effortless. Gulfam Saleh is one such fine cricketer from our city.

The 21-year-old, who’s currently pursuing his degree from Bullaya College, has been creating ripples in the local fraternities with his cricketing prowess. He has even hit six consecutive sixes in an over in a recently concluded local tournament.

How it all began?

Gulfaam says being born in a cricket loving-nation has certainly played a part in making him love the sport. Fascinated by the game, he took up cricketing at quite a young age. In fact, Gulfaam was just three years old when he first picked up a cricket bat. The youngster was then, unfortunately, diagnosed with some medical issues and had to restrain from playing the game for a considerable amount of time.
