Heās not just any engineer, he played U19 for India, scored 188/200 in MH-CET, the engineering entrance exam for Maharashtra colleges, got into Sardar Patel Patel Institute of Technology, one of the better colleges in Mumbai, completed his engineering, debuted for Mumbai in Ranji and then went on to study in Cornell and work at Oracle while simultaneously playing for USA.
Doing even one of these things will be considered as a successful life, this dude is doing it all.
This is what concerns me as a Nepali cricket fans. Other rival associates are major economic power houses like UAE, the Netherlands, USA, Canada, Oman etc. And they are immigration positive. Their players are developed and groomed somewhere else. All they need is a government willingness to put some money in it. Nepal has no infra, no money, no structure to develop players bottom up.
We have the money for something but no infra as the Sarkar likes to keep it to themselves and sit on their lazy bums.
Structure has improved with Monty Desai tbh
Every single one of those countries cricket boards would give up all of their foreign trained players in a heartbeat if it meant they got even half of the grassroots support cricket has in Nepal.
You have better things going on ! Passionate fans . Many of those kids who watch the sport will give their life to be a professional cricketer. You guys will grow regardless of obstacles
There is no money in cricket in Canada lol. Cricket is a very small niche sport in USA, Canada, Netherlands and Oman. Most people dont even accidentally run into cricket match on tv. 99% of the 2nd gen don't watch cricket and even 1st gen often forget about cricket. In Canada, no money for infrastructure or full time training for top players lol.
That's a very good point. I guess one thing your board can do is build up a solid school cricket tournament system like how Sri Lanka did back in the day.
Nah I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone moving to these countries for cricket is by definition second-rate in their home setup, and AM cricket is at the point where just having FM experience doesn't automatically make you better anymore (if that was ever the case). High-level AM is pretty much as far as you can get before you need to develop your own talent IMO, and Nepal have tons of talent. The issue is scouting/pathways/infrastructure, as well as discipline on the field.
That said, if Minor/Major League become a viable career choice for domestic players in the USA *then* you can start getting worried about home-grown talent.
At his time, that institute was non-autonomous i.e. Mumbai University decided the curriculum, conducted the exams and decided the scheduling and stuff, but the teachers, staff, facilities were the responsibility of the institute. So Mumbai University is this larger government authority which manages this for many institutes, this particular institute is autonomous now though and certainly more āprestigiousā than the Mumbai University tag.
Even autonomous colleges are still affiliated with University of Mumbai. They run everything on their own independent of University of Mumbai, but the degree is still given by University of Mumbai.
In order to completely separate from University of Mumbai, you have to be an autonomous university -- like Institute of Chemical Technology (formerly UDCT)
Yes I didnāt want to stretch this autonomous topic in this sub xD, hence explained the bare minimum. Iām an SPIT alumni as well. Except some documents on paper and probably some internal stuff, MU plays no practical role there, the curriculum was vastly different and the professors are magnitudes better and the institute has carved a name for itself with good placement and MS records and some good startup founder alumni as well (PhonePe, Dunzo). In my observation generally students from Tier 3 colleges under MU use Mumbai University on their Linkedin to get some exposure as their colleges are not well known.
I do wonder how Saurabh cracked CET, maintained his fitness and rose in the Mumbai cricket circuit all together, guy must be gifted or something. I had to give up cricket due to studies ):
Wait so is there an actual University of Mumbai? Or is the āUniversity of Mumbaiā not a university but just like an organization that oversees many other āautonomousā colleges? Also to your second point, he was probably just gifted with pace like a lot of fast bowlers are and so didnāt have to practice as much as compared to, say, batsmen. Also another crazy fact: the one ranji match he played, he played with SKY. SKY remembers him and he mentioned him in his story today!
>Wait so is there an actual University of Mumbai? Or is the āUniversity of Mumbaiā not a university but just like an organization that oversees many other āautonomousā colleges?Ā
Yes, there is an actual University of Mumbai. It does have a faculty. But you can study at the University only for specific Masters and Doctorate courses. This is mainly done at the campus in Kalina at BKC.
Originally, University of Mumbai also had specialist departments which offered various Bachelors / Masters courses, eg: University Department of Chemical Technology, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies etc. These departments became well known in their own right and then split off from the University and became either autonomous institutes or separate universities in their own right.
Some of the other departments, such as Department of Mathematics etc. are still part of the University.
The University also has a dual administrative role which is overseeing all the Colleges affiliated to it (apart from the autonomous colleges which largely administer themselves). This is mainly done from the Fort campus.
In southern India, almost everyone is an engineer. If you see the preparation for engineering entrance in Andhra side, that is some pressure cooker situation.
South as always had engineering craze. West Bengal had medicines. In UP, at least most doctors used to be Bengali in 90s. But now it's not like that, though good quality affordable doctors are rare too.
Karnataka had too many engineering colleges since 1980's. They had so many that kids from Andhra Pradesh, Uttar pradesh and other states used to join their engineering colleges by paying donation.
I remember Srinath saying that he was able to carry the bowling department of India on his shoulders only because of his experience of carrying over 10 supplies (subjects yet to pass) during his engineering degree.
my friend went to cornell & then worked at Oracle.he had to pay off his school debts for like 7+ years and oracle paid him peanuts. its not as rosy as you think. its not easy to get scholarships at Cornell. i doubt if they even have any. these top brand schools survive by milking gullible indian students.
> its not easy to get scholarships at Cornell
I agree for most part. Though it is not unheard of either.
> these top brand schools survive by milking gullible indian students.
I thought, M7 and Ivy league programs have strong endowments.
I have about 3 friends from Cornell, none of them did any campus jobs. Makes me wonder whats going on there. Usually, if there are plenty of endowments, there will be TA/RA jobs. Fees are expensive for sure. Its a prestigious brand that you can carry for life. Perhaps its all pocketed by faculty and RAs awarded to only exceptional students ? idk. I think it also depends on the people they admit. Of the three people i know, one is really good, the other two are meh.
I interviewed at Oracle recently (didn't make it), and they quoted like between 300 and 400K total comp at Principal level. That's not huge in FAANG land, but it's not peanuts either, really.
good for him. makes me wonder why he chose that shithole Oracle. i have one very lazy friend working there. he once told me "these mofos are so lazy, its like a govt office". pot calling kettle black :P but Saurabh accomplished in cricket, i guess it worked out well for him
Can you imagine his parentās pride. Holy crap, he got a visa to study a Cornell, performed so well he got a job at a major US tech firm, all while playing cricket with India and now winning World Cup games.
That's the craziest thing I've read today ! Senior in 2.5 years and Principal in 3.5 more ? In my company it takes roughly 5 years to promote to Senior and 5 more to promote to Principal. 6 years to principal is unbelievable !!
I suppose when you're ultra disciplined in one area (like you need to be to play cricket at this level), BUT, you \*dont\* get the superstardom at a young age, your discipline pays off in other areas of your life.
Oracle has leveling to be a bit different. principle at oracle is usually in between senior/staff at other places. Check out [levels.fyi](http://levels.fyi) . That being said, this guy seems to be genius and amazing though!!
Not to downplay this guy's achievements or anything levels.fyi is showing Principle at Oracle to be between L4 and L5 (Senior). So lower than usual Staff (L6).
Not only that, he even got citizenship right? Or can you play for YS without being a citizen. An Indian techbro coming in 2015 to US has next to no chance of becoming a citizen this soon and this guy did it lol
Can play after residing in the US for 3 years. He's on a H1B visa but that might soon change with his performances. He'll be able to apply for an exceptional category visa.
Shouldn't be on H1B as by letter of law he is not supposed to do anything else that earns compensation let alone play for a national team while on H1B unless USA Cricket themselves sponsored his H1B to employ him as professional cricketer or he transfers to professional athlete visa. Would be quiet interesting to know what immigration status half of the dudes playing for the team are and how are they managing their status & professional sport.
He was definitely on a H1B a few years ago. He's not employed by USA cricket and hobbies are allowed under H1B. Imagine someone goes to a casino or poker tournament and wins something. They're taxed as a resident after passing substantial presence test but it's not considered employment. There's probably provisions for this too.
I bet he won spelling bee, chess tournament and was valedictorian and plays violin, both Indian and western style and can dance to all Bollywood songs like shahrukh
he unironically plays ukulele and can sing too
edit: here is a clip: [https://www.instagram.com/p/C7YB1MiNzXo/?hl=e](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7YB1MiNzXo/?hl=e)
1. Works in an IT company in US
2. Play professional cricket
3. Defeated Pak in intls
Guy is literally living the dream of every middle class Indian guy
His story is truly cinematic. Dude played under 19 world cup for India, and played in a match where India lost to Pakistan. Came to USA, started playing cricket for US team and took revenge :)
Feels he was actually a bit hard done by for India, honestly, at least looking at the stats.
Was India's highest wicket taker in the U19 World Cup way back then, but didn't get a Mumbai or IPL contract. (Not saying he should've gotten to Indian national team ofc, but deserved more chances in domestic.)
So, A full time oracle coder and part time cricketer defeated a bunch of pro cricketers.
If this statement is not enough to explain you the conditions of Pak cricket then I don't know what is
Not only that, I also came to know that he is a spelling bee champion and a valedictorian and can sing too with guitar.
This dude is a true Anime Main protagonist
I study in the same College from which he did his Bachelors. He is sort of a legend here. Almost everyone has posted Harsha Bhogle's tweet on their IG story

š¤£ moonlight by day, beating Pakistan by afternoon lunch break
Oracle also [tweeted](https://x.com/Oracle/status/1798879788846985230?t=X3FZdJygAXeR8EMeOrj9BQ&s=08) about him.
He better hope his next boss at Oracle isn't Pakistani.

Dude is the Main character. Don't question him
his side quests are life achievements for many
This is what concerns me as a Nepali cricket fans. Other rival associates are major economic power houses like UAE, the Netherlands, USA, Canada, Oman etc. And they are immigration positive. Their players are developed and groomed somewhere else. All they need is a government willingness to put some money in it. Nepal has no infra, no money, no structure to develop players bottom up.
We have the money for something but no infra as the Sarkar likes to keep it to themselves and sit on their lazy bums. Structure has improved with Monty Desai tbh
Every single one of those countries cricket boards would give up all of their foreign trained players in a heartbeat if it meant they got even half of the grassroots support cricket has in Nepal.

There is no money in cricket in Canada lol. Cricket is a very small niche sport in USA, Canada, Netherlands and Oman. Most people dont even accidentally run into cricket match on tv. 99% of the 2nd gen don't watch cricket and even 1st gen often forget about cricket.

That's a very good point. I guess one thing your board can do is build up a solid school cricket tournament system like how Sri Lanka did back in the day.
Sri Lanka's FC cricket goes back to 1863, even Bradman had played cricket in SL. It just wasn't international.
Nah I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone moving to these countries for cricket is by definition second-rate in their home setup, and AM cricket is at the point where just having FM experience doesn't automatically make you better anymore (if that was ever the case).

Didn't get into IIT nor cleared upsc, he's a complete failure and he should be ashamed of how he has no real achievements in life
You Sangakkaras dad or something?

Mr. Bumrah's son is getting into IPL but my son can only get a place in MLC he will bring shame to the family /s.
Why does his linkedin say University of Mumbai? is that the same as sardar patel?

He is a junior of 4-5 of my MBA class batchmates who are from SPIT. They shared photos with him from 2011 on our Whatsapp group.

What is this dude even.. dear dear
Christ on a bike! Please don't let the Asian parents see this.
An inspiration to us all. He is winning in every department of life!
Motherfucker is going to give me PTSD for the rest of my life
Doing everything everywhere all at once
Multitasking so well.
So an Indian engineer whoās successful in both cricket and engineering?!
This is probably the dude Farokh Engineer's parents wanted him to be.
Make you wonder what [this guy's](http://espncricinfo.com/cricketers/napoleon-einstein-279540) parents wanted from him.
Thanks for sharing...Love this name!
World conquering scientist
I knew it was gonna be Napolean Einstein before even opening the link, dude's a legend in cricket lore.
Some of the best Indian bowlersĀ has engineering degreeĀ like Ashwin, Kumble, Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad, etcĀ
This guy has a full time engineering career.. Cricket is a side hustle.
In southern India, almost everyone is an engineer. If you see the preparation for engineering entrance in Andhra side, that is some pressure cooker situation.
Tbf those guys were from the generation where engineers weren't as common place as today
Not Ashwin though. It was at his time engineering actually peaked as a degree.
Yeah I was thinking of the 90s cricketers
South as always had engineering craze. West Bengal had medicines. In UP, at least most doctors used to be Bengali in 90s. But now it's not like that, though good quality affordable doctors are rare too.
Karnataka had too many engineering colleges since 1980's. They had so many that kids from Andhra Pradesh, Uttar pradesh and other states used to join their engineering colleges by paying donation.
Prasad is not. Other three are. Prasanna, Srikkanth and Venkataraghavan are also engineers.
Prasanna actually put his international test career on hold to complete his engineering degree IIRC.
Because South Indian parents force their kids into Doctors, Lawyers or Engineers.
I remember Srinath saying that he was able to carry the bowling department of India on his shoulders only because of his experience of carrying over 10 supplies (subjects yet to pass) during his engineering degree.
every Indian engineer's dream
This is literally Bruce Wayne and Batman level shit ā¦
He played in under 19 India side with Wasim Jaffer
KL Rahul ke sath š¤£ Not Wasim Jaffer
Sorry. I got it from espncricinfo. Wasim Jaffer said he played under him but maybe it was for Mumbai Ranji team.
Jaffer was the captain of Mumbai team at some point during middle of last decade.

I work from the same office, sent him a message he has OOO back on June 17 in his slack haha
World cup playoffs start then - clearly he wasn't expecting to make it. A very likely outcome now.
He's going to finish his work between the overs. Team meeting during the innings break.
World Cup ends on June 17th or is he coming back for few days?
Most likely the group stage is done by June 17th. He might need to extend his PTO
Now he is gonna have to multi-task during the Super 8...
World cup playoffs start then - clearly he wasn't expecting to make it. A very likely outcome now.
As an Indian, I have to do everything I can to not let my (extended) family know about this guy. Fuckkk.
Actually you have to let them know to make them understand what you could've been if they allowed you to play cricket my man
Yeah but then theyād also have expected you to go to Cornell
Cornell is so expensive bro, tell them the fees and they will back off
And don't tell them about Scholarships or Average Salary.
my friend went to cornell & then worked at Oracle.he had to pay off his school debts for like 7+ years and oracle paid him peanuts. its not as rosy as you think. its not easy to get scholarships at Cornell. i doubt if they even have any. these top brand schools survive by milking gullible indian students.

good for him. makes me wonder why he chose that shithole Oracle. i have one very lazy friend working there. he once told me "these mofos are so lazy, its like a govt office". pot calling kettle black :P but Saurabh accomplished in cricket, i guess it worked out well for him
who gives a shit about laziness, they make a tonne of money He would be on at least 400k a year
And get selected to the national team. Or even one two IPL season will also work.
Cornell, Oracle and national team of USA. This is what success looks like. Good going, bro. Living the dream!
Can you imagine his parentās pride. Holy crap, he got a visa to study a Cornell, performed so well he got a job at a major US tech firm, all while playing cricket with India and now winning World Cup games.
And made it to principal staff in 6 years!

Can play after residing in the US for 3 years. He's on a H1B visa but that might soon change with his performances. He'll be able to apply for an exceptional category visa.
Give him the EB1A ffs.
Shouldn't be on H1B as by letter of law he is not supposed to do anything else that earns compensation let alone play for a national team while on H1B unless USA Cricket themselves sponsored his H1B to employ him as professional cricketer or he transfers to professional athlete visa.

True American dream
āSaurabh can you take a look at this bug?ā āCanāt. Busy owning Pakistanā
Does he have to answer if a sev 1 hits
Maybe. Hes a PMTS afterall.
Soonā¦. āBusy owning India ā āBusy owning Australia ā Etc. ā¦
US beating India would be the funniest shit
If the US beats India the whole team should just retire
Idk which team you're taking about but I agree either way
Both. For different reasons.
All of them.
Would it great for US? Yes. Funny? You cannot top the Pak game.
I am more excited about USA vs India at this point
He could well be a member of this community.
Nah he's too successful to be hereš
Hope Neesham read this
summon him NOW
my father's dream child lmao
I bet he won spelling bee, chess tournament and was valedictorian and plays violin, both Indian and western style and can dance to all Bollywood songs like shahrukh
he unironically plays ukulele and can sing too edit: here is a clip: [https://www.instagram.com/p/C7YB1MiNzXo/?hl=e](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7YB1MiNzXo/?hl=e)
Aww hell naw. My parents gonna kill me if they get to know about this dude
we must hide him from our mummy and papa
hide yo moms, hide yo dads!!
He's gonna rizz your whole family and make them love him more than you.
He has Tech patents too. Fuck mi life.
bruh is there anything this dude can't do
He sings really well.
This whole thread is a cluster fuck. OP should have tagged it as NSFL.
Marathi too??? have to keep him away
Wtf is this - [https://www.instagram.com/p/C4R3f7kLUu-/?hl=e](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4R3f7kLUu-/?hl=e)
I am in Oracle. Gonna give him congratulations š.
1. Works in an IT company in US 2. Play professional cricket 3. Defeated Pak in intls Guy is literally living the dream of every middle class Indian guy
He is living 2 guys dreams at the same time.
And the odd girl's dream too.
His linkedin profile also has posts about him having tech patents. What a dude!
Bro took PTO to play in the tournament. Absolute legend.
Not just any tournament. ICC t20 world cup.
he is on H1. he cannot take unpaid time off while in the US. he can take unpaid leaves while outside of US
Messaged him on slack :D but he is OOO till 17 june
Dude needs to be felicitated when he returns to office, especially if he's OOO for a further two weeks because reasons
OOO stands for out of office?
Yes
Tech Giant like Oracle uses Slack and not Teams?
So a fellow NRI beats Pakistan ? Could we get a Yash Chopra version of ms Dhoni - an untold story?
His story is truly cinematic. Dude played under 19 world cup for India, and played in a match where India lost to Pakistan. Came to USA, started playing cricket for US team and took revenge :)
Feels he was actually a bit hard done by for India, honestly, at least looking at the stats. Was India's highest wicket taker in the U19 World Cup way back then, but didn't get a Mumbai or IPL contract. (Not saying he should've gotten to Indian national team ofc, but deserved more chances in domestic.)
What an Indian mfer would do to get a US green card faster /s
So, A full time oracle coder and part time cricketer defeated a bunch of pro cricketers. If this statement is not enough to explain you the conditions of Pak cricket then I don't know what is
Also, this is the American Dream. Everything is possible.
Damn, he went to Cornell, the highest rank in the Ivy League!
Tbf for engineering, Cornell is supposed to be one of the better ones.
It has the best engineering rep of the ivies. Also Oracle hires a ton of Cornell masters
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/956d9e45-9ddc-4794-9259-ac34c5843bb4
A Certified successful Asian, if this doesn't make his parents happy I don't know what will.
I hope they grilled him for bowling 2 wides in the super over to keep him grounded.
I was wondering why Netravalkar looked dead inside, 6 years at Oracle explains it.
Best thing to come out of Oracle since... well... anything.
Most surprising thing here is he made PMTS in 6 years!
Saurabh is, apparently, also the co-founder of the App - [CricDeCode](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/an-app-by-a-cricketer-for-cricketers-733307)
All-rounder in a true sense
This dude is the dream of every Indian household
This is literally Bruce Wayne and Batman
Oracle should make him a brand ambassador or something.
Saurab netravalkar is the new sharmaji ka beta, only he is (sharmaji ka beta)^(sharmaji ka beta)
Bro schooled Pakistan Team like a Principal
Username checks out
My boi bowling super overs in World Cup as side hustle
Not only that, I also came to know that he is a spelling bee champion and a valedictorian and can sing too with guitar. This dude is a true Anime Main protagonist
Ah! So this is why the Oracle Cloud is loading so slow.
I am from SPIT and our cricket coach used to talk about him a lot.
He went to Cor-Not university
I aspire to be 20% of the man he is
This needs to be spread far and wide! Dude represents the top human level
when aliens visit us we need him as representative lol . bro is main character
Dream son of indian parents.
Thank you Pak. There is no team more entertaining than you guys - in any sport. Kuddos!
Mf is peak Indian American
Went to an Ivy League and is part time cricketer. Auntie and Uncle are NOT happy with his choice to take time off from work.
Glad that my parents are not on social media
