Wrote to BCCI in 2006 to fast-track Pujara, Rohit and Chawla: Venkatesh Prasad
New Delhi, June 12: Venkatesh Prasad, one of Team Indias key members in the 90s, had also donned the coachs hat during the U-19 World Cup in 2006, in which the Indian colts emerged as the runners-up. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Piyush Chawla and Ravindra Jadeja were under his tutelage. Now after 14 years, the former fast bowler reminisced about his coaching days.
"These three guys -- Piyush Chawla, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma I had no doubt about their talent and their capabilities. I knew very well that they're going to go a long way. In fact, the moment the U-19 World Cup (2006) was over, I did write to BCCI in my report saying that these players should be fast-tracked into playing Ranji Trophy or the zone matches, this is what I had said," he told FanCode, a multisport aggregator platform from the house of Dream Sports.
