There is a quiet assurance about Saurabh Netravalkar whenever he has the ball in hand. The left-arm quick has earned a reputation for disciplined spells, intelligent use of swing and an uncanny ability to produce breakthroughs when his team needs them most.

Born in Mumbai on 16 October 1991, Netravalkar first came into the spotlight as India's leading wicket-taker at the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
