Pondicherry Cricket Team History
The Pondicherry cricket team, also known as the Puducherry cricket team, is a young but promising force in the Indian domestic cricket scene. Though its journey began recently in 2018, the team has already made a mark with its competitive spirit.
From Associate Member to Full-Fled Contender
In July 2018, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) granted Pondicherry a much-awaited opportunity. The team was inducted as one of nine new sides to compete in prestigious domestic tournaments like the Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy, starting with the 2018-19 season. This marked a significant step forward for Pondicherry cricket, which had previously held associate member status with the BCCI.
Building the Team: Early Days and Accomplishments
The newfound recognition attracted experienced players like Abhishek Nayar, who joined the team in August 2018. In September that same year, Pondicherry announced its arrival on the domestic scene with a convincing 8-wicket victory over Manipur in the opening fixture of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The team continued to show promise in the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, a shorter format tournament. Though they finished seventh in their group, Pondicherry secured a win and showcased individual talents like Paras Dogra (leading run-scorer) and Parandaman Thamaraikannan (leading wicket-taker).
