The USA, co-hosting the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, have had a dream debut, advancing to the Super 8 after their match against Ireland was washed out, securing them a crucial point. 

Left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh, part of this remarkable USA team, credits Indian captain Rohit Sharma's childhood coach, Dinesh Lad, for shaping his cricketing career.

Harmeet represented India in two Under-19 World Cups and played for Mumbai at the age-group level before relocating to the USA. 

Now, as a key member of the American squad, he reflects on the pivotal role Lad played in his development. Having studied in the same school as Rohit Sharma, Singh followed Lad's guidance closely, attributing much of his progress to Lad's mentorship and support.


My talent was first recognised by Lad Sir: Harmeet Singh

"I would like to thank everybody who supported me in this journey and especially to Dinesh Lad Sir. My talent was first recognised by Lad Sir, who was the coach and mentor during my school days (Rohit Sharma studied in the same school)," he said"In fact, he only advised me to join his school. There he provided me with everything he possibly could," he further added.

He also praised Lad's dedication and passion. "I switched to Swami Vivekanand school. We broke many records, there was no cricket in the suburbs then but now looking back at it, it all looks like a dream. What all we achieved at the school, couldn't have been possible without Lad Sir's support," he added.

India and USA, both in Group A, secured spots in the Super 8. While India claimed the top spot, USA followed closely in second place. 

Monank Patel's USA team will commence their Super 8 campaign against South Africa in the Caribbean leg on June 19th, while India will face Afghanistan.
