Divyaansh Saxena: Three first-class games in three years and a chance to make it count

MUMBAI Three years ago, Divyaansh Saxena made his first-class debut for Mumbai. Since then, he has played just three matches in the format. The runs came whenever opportunities presented themselves, but a regular place in a side brimming with batting talent remained elusive. For a young cricketer who had shared an under-19 World Cup dressing room with Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Tilak Varma, watching his contemporaries move ahead while waiting for his own turn was not easy. His latest opportunity came after Ayush Mhatre was ruled out with an injury and Jaiswal joined the Indian team in New Zealand.
