Vicky Ostwal: Boy on local train to World Cup hero
Local train journeys are synonymous to cricketers in Mumbai be it Sachin Tendulkar, Shardul Thakur to young Prithvi Shaw, who have taken the megapolis' 'lifeline' in their formative days to go for practise or training, but it is something that is usually not associated with Maharashtra players.
"His father and he (Vicky) travelled by local train for three to four years. His father took special permission from school to take him early and then travelled from Lonavala to Chinchwad, which took them at least an hour and half. In all they travelled for three hours," explained Jadhav.
Ostwal, with 12 wickets, is the only Indian within touching distance to top the individual leaderboards. Wellalage of Sri Lanka has 17 wickets. Ostwal took 5/28 vs South Africa earlier this tournament.
