As Kohli & Co are stretching every sinew in their quest for India's third 50-50 World Cup triumph, Sahil Jadhav, a teenaged Mumbai all-rounder, is completing his cricketing education by playing and training in English conditions.

Sahil, 16, a Class IX student of Don Bosco School, Matunga and a Dilip Vengsarkar Academy trainee, is playing for Wells Cathedral School in Somerset.

The Mumbai Under-14 player scored a 100 (14x4) against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) XI in Somerset on Tuesday. He returned figures of 9-2-20-1 with his off-spin and clinched the man-of-the-match award.

"It's tough to bat here with the wickets being grassy; the ball swings a lot and it's cold too. However, I am enjoying playing against different teams which have players senior to me. Batting against MCC was challenging, but a century against such a good team has boosted my confidence," Sahil told mid-day yesterday.
