Because Ankush Bains has created a history for Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association when he got selected for U-19 Indian Cricket Team.

He likes to play front foot and he plays almost all the shots but cover drive is his favourite shot. He is great admirer of Dharamshala & Bilaspur cricket grounds. He came into highlight when he represented the H.P. U-13 cricket team. He attracted media attention while he scored 175 runs for his school team & a brilliant knock of 150 runs for H.P. against Mumbai.

Mr.Sanjeev (His school days coach )also played a very important role in nurturing the cricketing talent in Ankush in his early cricketing career. Ankush performed extra ordinarily for his Mount Abu School, Rohini during his school career. Ankush does 4-5 hours daily practice in the morning & also in the evening. His father Mr.Katkar Singh Bains is also excited about his son’s achievements.
