Ranji Trophy 2023–24 finalist Akshay Wadkar of Vidarbha produced one of his finest knocks ever against Mumbai. On Day 5 of the final at Wankhede Stadium, he blasted a century while Vidarbha chased more than 500 runs in the match's fourth innings. This narrative introduces us to a gifted batsman and wicketkeeper who has the potential to be a reliable future player for India.
In the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2012–13, Wadkar made his Vidarbha professional debut. In 2017–18, he made his first-class debut. During his first Ranji season, Wadkar scored 308 runs at 61.60 percent.
Following his February 29 encounter with MS Dhoni, Wadkar shared an Instagram photo with the caption, "Once In A Lifetime Moment With M.S.Dhoni."January 29, 2024. I'm grateful. "Dil Khush Ho Gaya." This post demonstrates how much Wadkar valued meeting his hero, Virat Kohli.
Wadkar has watched Saha's career closely and has picked up a lot of wicketkeeping knowledge from him.My path is Wriddhiman Saha's. He has a great mentality behind the stumps. He keeps moving quite a bit. He dives incredibly well. I have also never considered injuries as a factor in a player's performance. His keeping ability makes me believe that diving a few times during a game is nothing if you have done it 100 times in practice.
