Japan T20 team has a Bihari player who is an IITian
Abhishek Anand, an IIT Kanpur graduate in Chemistry, has become the first Bihari player representing Japan's cricket team. The young man's path to the international stage was unconventional, as he moved from India to Japan and pursued his passion for cricket. Anand's story has gained attention due to the unique combination of his Indian and Japanese identities, as well as his academic background.
This is set to add a human-interest angle to the upcoming India vs Japan T20I match on September 22 at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Tochigi, Japan.
