The perfect pacer

SIDDHARTH KAUL, 28, Bowler, Chandigarh

BECAUSE

After Kapil Dev, Yograj Singh and Chetan Sharma, Siddharth Kaul is the fourth pacer from Chandigarh to play for India in the T20 and ODI format. He made his T20 debut against Ireland and his ODI debut came against England in June 2018.

SECRET OF MY SUCCESS

My desire to represent my country at the international level keeps me going. I feel will power, hard work and honesty towards the sport are part of my secret sauce.

MY GOAL NEXT

I want to play for my country for the next six to eight years and win the World Cup.

MY ROLE MODEL

I look up to my parents Sandhya Kaul and Dr Tej Kaul and also my elder brother Uday Kaul.

BY THE WAY

I love listening to music, especially Punjabi. Also, I am very fond of driving.

SECOND OPINION

In an era when India has got tremendous strength in fast bowling, he has made his mark. He needs to keep up the good work and aim for a berth in 2019 World Cup.
