Saurabh Netravalkar has been an absolute sensation in the ongoing T20 World Cup, spearheading the USA bowling attack from the very front and has been winning hearts of the cricket fans due to his performance.

However, like the way, cricket is celebrated in India, in USA, the stardom somewhat dips and that is exactly what makes Netravalkar pull off cricket alongside his daily job as a software engineer in Oracle.

In an interview given by his sister Nidhi Netravalkar, she said that despite all the huff and puff in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Netravalkar hasn’t exactly just been playing cricket. After doing the heavy lifting on the cricket field, Saurabh has been working out his office assignments from the hotel.

He's been very fortunate to have people who have always supported him throughout his career. He knows that when he's not playing cricket, he has to give 100 per cent to the job. So right now, when he's working, he carries his laptop everywhere. And he has the freedom to work from anywhere.

Such has been the magnitude of his dominion that USA may just qualify for the Super Eight, penning history and that too at the expense of Pakistan, which possibly be ranks as one of the most eye-catching upsets of all time.
