The rising star and opening batsman of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107 pitched deliveries if he wanted to become an International cricketer.
Mukund was inducted in to the Indian side after their experienced opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 tour due to an injury.
Mukund was honoured with the Test cap in the first match of the ongoing series against the Caribbeans, which was played from June 20th to 23rd, 2011, at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
India went on to win the match by 63 runs while Mukund scored 11 runs off 41 balls in the first innings followed by 25 runs scored on 75 balls in the second.
He did not get enough practice matches before the commencement of the first Test which made it difficult for the youngster to get accustomed with the conditions.
The second match of the series was played from June 28th to July 2nd, 2011, at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, which ended in a draw.
Mukund could survive for nine balls in the first innings and scored just one run, but came back strongly in the second innings once he dispatched 48 runs off 81 balls with the help of six fours.
The third and Final Test is being played at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica, from July 6th to 10th, 2011.
India was in deep trouble at the start of their first innings of the third Test when they lost two quick wickets for just 18 runs.
However, Mukund consolidated the innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vangipurappu-Venkata-Sai-Laxman-c94905. He was playing well after scoring the first fifty of his career, before he went back at 62, missing out on a ton.
He commented, "I am really disappointed," he said. "After doing all the hard work when the ball was swinging in the morning, I tried to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 around, and then got out to a ball I have not have got out to many times in my career."
Mukund has just started his International career and there is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 cricket ahead of him. He complimented his father, saying, "My dad always told me that a lot of deliveries in international cricket are short-pitched, so I practiced this a lot, and can play
short bowling pretty well."
