‘Zimbu’s career will end up like Unmukt Chand’ – Fans react as Unmukt Chand eligible to play for USA in T20 WC 2024

Unmukt Chand is likely to play for the USA in the next two months as a cricketer. The star batter who represented India in the U19 WC 2012 and ended up winning it for the team did not get enough chances for India at the highest level. Due to the immense talent pool in India and the lack of chances, Chand had to make a huge decision in his career to move to the USA.

Chand had applied for the citizenship of the USA a few months back. It looks like the batter is going to get it soon and be eligible to represent the USA at the highest level. Reports claim that the right-handed batter can be a part of the USA team by the end of March 2024, which would be good news for both Unmukt and the USA’s cricket team.

Under the captaincy of Chand, India won the U19 WC 2012 by beating Australia in the final. Interestingly, even Australia’s captain from the 2012 batch did not make big in cricket. Not many know that William Bosisto was the captain of Australia in the tournament. Unmukt however will get to play for the USA where he has been staying in recent times.

Unmukt Chand to play against India and Pakistan!

Chand had won the match for India with his batting in the final by scoring a hundred. Ahead of the T20 WC 2024, Chand would be hoping to be at his best. The home side will be up against some of the top teams in the world in the group stage. The USA is in Group A which features some of the world-class sides like India and Pakistan.

The challenge for Chand would be to perform well as he seems to be the only player who is remotely close to having played amongst the best players in the world. The experience Unmukt brings to the table would be crucial for the USA. The family members of the former U19 WC skipper would be excited for the second chapter of his life.
