The Indian cricketing fraternity is a group of players being unified despite coming from various backgrounds and dovetails them into a single unit. This unification happens under numerous categories and brings the players together under the banner of the national team. One of the most predominant variations of this categorization is education.

There have been a plethora of instances when some of the stalwarts of the game don’t get an opportunity to complete their studies. Maybe it’s because of this extraordinary physical and mental load that a cricketer has to go through while taking the field that eventually forces them to pursue a one-dimensional career.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and cricket has savant human beings like Saurav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, and Rahul Dravid. With that being said, the Indian cricketing fraternity has another moniker doing the rounds, which is a notch higher than the others, as Aavishkar Salvi being India’s most educated cricketer.

The fast bowler, who was known for playing for Mumbai, known for his bowling stance that was inspired by Pidge’s, has completed his Ph.D. in Astrophysics, which deals with spatial stuff. He had an impressive career ahead of him, which was cut short due to a series of injuries he suffered over the period of time and it initially resulted in him getting dropped out of the national team and then fizzled away to oblivion even from the state team.

Before the man completely disappeared, Aavishkar Salvi managed to rack up four ODI performances for India that saw him claiming four international wickets, with his best bowling figures of 2 for 15.
