Luck Favours Manish Pandey
Bengaluru: The 27 year old Manish Pandey got his maiden opportunity to play in Indian Test Team. This Karnataka batsman was selected as replacement for injured Rahane for the rest of the test series against England. Panday made his first class debut in 2008 and waiting for the opportunity. He shared his joy and said "it’s a great feeling. It’s a long wait, but better late than never. I have been looking forward to utilise this opportunity." In his recent ODI series against Kiwis he couldn't attain the expectations but his long association with Indian coach Anil Kumble can surely help him to meet the standards.
