Chandigarh to Lord's: Abhay spins his way into the big league
Written by Gracy Singh Abhay Tipnis, who spent his school years at Lawrence School, Sanawar, and Yadavindra Public School, Patiala, and honed his game at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium in Mohali, is quietly weaving his cricketing journey across domestic and international grounds — one net session at a time. The Madhya Pradesh-born left-arm spinner, deeply connected to Chandigarh and Punjab through his training and early cricket, recently found himself bowling to legends at one of the sport's most iconic venues: Lord's. 'I've been actively involved in the training sessions for both India and England during the ongoing Test match at Lord's,' Tipnis told The Indian Express. 'I've bowled to some of the best — Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant — and even to top England batters. They asked me to bowl like Jadeja,' he adds with a grin, recalling the thrill of imitating his idol Ravindra Jadeja for England's batsmen. Cricket came early to Abhay. 'I used to watch my father, Rajiv Tipnis, practise regularly. That's what hooked me to the game early on,' he says. His maternal grandfather, Dr Harish Singh Dhillon, former headmaster of both YPS Mohali and Patiala as well as Lawrence School, Sanawar, was another major influence. 'He had a very positive impact on me. He was always supportive of both my sports and academic interests, and more importantly, he inspired thousands of children as an educator. He also instilled a strong value system in me, which continues to guide me on and off the field.' His formative years in schools known for their strong sporting culture and his stints with the Punjab U-14 and U-16 teams, playing alongside future stars like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, cemented his bond with the region. 'I've spent most of my vacations in Chandigarh, especially training at the PCA stadium in Mohali,' he recalls. 'That place shaped me. It feels like home.' Tipnis is upbeat about cricket infrastructure in the Tricity. 'It's great that Chandigarh has its own cricket association, the UTCA. It really helps young aspirants shape their journey in the sport. There's a lot of untapped potential here that deserves more attention and exploration,' he says, underscoring the importance of grassroots systems in building the next generation of cricketers. Tipnis's professional debut came in the prestigious C K Nayudu Trophy in 2019, where he represented Madhya Pradesh against Karnataka, announcing his arrival with a five-wicket haul. Since then, he has been part of net bowling camps for several IPL teams and now serves as an overseas professional for Manchester Cricket Club. Looking ahead, his ambitions remain clear yet grounded. 'I see myself playing Test cricket for India as a left-arm spinner and a reliable all-rounder,' he says. Among those who've shaped his game, he counts Jadeja, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, and Virat Kohli. 'They've all influenced my game in different ways. Gautam Gambhir, in particular, has been very supportive,' he adds, reflecting on the value of mentorship for young cricketers. From the school fields of Punjab to the hallowed turf of Lord's, Tipnis's journey is a quiet testament to perseverance, early passion, and the ecosystems — family, school, and cricketing institutions — that make sporting dreams real.

Trott, experts slam Gill and Gambhir over Kuldeep's exclusion as Indians struggle in Manchester: 'I find it astounding...'
Senior left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav remained relegated to the sidelines despite legends of the game such as Sunil Gavaskar and Anil Kumble calling for his inclusion from the outset of the five-match Test series in England. read more Jonathan Trott joins the long list of former cricketers calling for left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion in the Indian XI in the ongoing Test series in England. Reuters India find themselves struggling in what is a must-win fourth Test against England in Manchester, if they are to fly out of the United Kingdom with the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in their check-in luggage. Not only were they bowled out for 358 after England captain Ben Stokes won a fourth consecutive toss and opted to field, they find themselves facing the prospect of starting their second innings with a massive deficit, with the hosts on the verge of eclipsing their total with plenty of wickets in hand. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD England's domination of the Indian bowling unit over the course of the last 24 hours has put the spotlight on the absence of a certain individual – Kuldeep Yadav. There have been plenty of calls for the inclusion of the left-arm wrist spinner since the outset of the five-Test series, from batting icon Sunil Gavaskar to spin legends Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. Kuldeep, however, has remained sidelined throughout the tour, with India captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir preferring all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in order to lengthen the batting lineup rather than a frontline spinner in Kuldeep. Trott slams absence of frontline spinner in Kuldeep And on , with England having cruised to 332/2 at lunch with the Indian pacers hardly making an impact on a wicket where Stokes and Jofra Archer shared eight wickets between them, former England batter Jonathan Trott renewed discussion on Kuldeep's continued exclusion from the Indian XI. 'I find it astounding that they don't have the exact bowling lineup that can get them 20 wickets in the much…it makes Jasprit Bumrah's job that much harder, without a frontline spinner,' Trott said on JioHotstar during the lunch interval. The South African-born former England batter wasn't alone in criticising the Indian team management's treatment of Kuldeep as several experts and fans pointed out the same on social media. Here are select reactions: By the time india realise the importance of Kuldeep Yadav rather than strengthening their batting , unfortunately series will be over. — Prasanna (@prasannalara) July 25, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 66 overs into England's innings and Shardul and Washington (despite his performance at Lord's) have bowled six overs between them. India's conservative team selection - over-valuing lower order runs, and ignoring Kuldeep Yadav as a result - has really helped England. — Tim Wigmore (@timwig) July 25, 2025 Hard to be sure, but I think England might be happy Kamboj is playing and Kuldeep isn't — Ben Jones (@benjonescricket) July 25, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Indian test cricket is becoming joke with weird selections. Kuldeep Yadav is sitting outside, Arshdeep didn't play in Australia n England, Shami is missing. How can you expect to win with part time bowlers? Someone's ego is destroying this team #INDvsEND — CA Anurag Sharma (@caanuragwriter) July 25, 2025
