Highlights
- Robin Minj is the first tribal cricketer to play IPL
- Robin Minj was bought by Mumbai Indians for 65 lakhs
- Robin started playing cricket with cooking wood
Gumla: The district of Jharkhand is known as Gumla Khel Nagari. From here, in many sports including football, hockey, athletics, more than one player has made his mark in international level. At the same time, till now Gumla was anonymous in the field of cricket. But, now the popularity of cricket here has started increasing. The reason for this is Robin Minj.
Gumla’s name came out for the first time in the IPL auction last time. Robin Minj, a resident of Silam Pandantoli, a small village in Raidih block, traveled from the village to IPL. The success of Robin, who belongs to the tribal poor family, is now discussed in the entire state. A tribal player is considered to reach here in cricket. But, this journey was not so easy ..
Training in Ranchi
Akash Minj, brother of IPL player Robin Minj, told Local 18 that the trend towards cricket was amazing since childhood. When he was 7-8 years old, the trend of cricket increased at that time. We have blessings and belief that he should play well for the country and move forward. Dad used to work in the Xavier Minj army, so we went to Ranchi Namkum. Then while staying there, Robin practiced cricket along with studies.
Cricket played with cooking wood
At the same time, Lalmohan Lohra of the village told that Robin started playing cricket with wood cooking with another child in the village. Just like other children of the village used to play cricket with plastic and tennis balls and wooden bat, similarly he used to play. IPL is starting and Robin Minj of our village is playing for Mumbai Indians. We hope that he will play well in the IPL this time and will hit a long shot. Will also join the Indian cricket team.
IPL could not play last time
Let me tell you, in the last IPL auction, Robin Minj has been bought by the team of Gujarat Titans for three crore 60 lakhs. But, unfortunately Robin did not play in the IPL session last year due to injury in a road accident. This time, hope you will definitely be able to play. This time, the team of Mumbai Indians, one of the most successful teams of IPL, has bid for Robin 65 lakhs. Robin Minj is known for explosive batting and wicketkeeping. Bin Minj is the first tribal cricketer to be seen playing IPL.
