Shivam Mavi is a symbol of India’s progress in producing fast bowlers. He played a key role in the Indian team that won the 2018 ICC U19 World Cup. In India’s first game, Mavi consistently delivered pitches at speeds above 140 kph, surprising a group of Australian batsmen who are accustomed to facing fast, bouncy pitches.
Beginning of Career
Mavi is not a particularly tall fast bowler at 5’9″, but he has the mindset of one, inspired by his hero Dale Steyn, who is also not very tall. Like many young people in India, Mavi initially focused on batting before his coach at the Wanderers Cricket Club in Noida noticed his potential as a fast bowler. Mavi has a graceful, rhythmic run-up and quickly advanced to playing at a higher level. Despite his success at the U16 level, Mavi was unexpectedly left out of Delhi’s U16 team, which prompted him to switch to playing for Uttar Pradesh.
Mavi had a knee injury while representing Uttar Pradesh, which forced him to change his technique from an outswing to an inswing and side-lined him for three months. Mavi was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 3 crore at the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions (approximately 438,000 USD).
