In a stunning upset, the US cricket team defeated Pakistan at the T20 Cricket World Cup on Thursday, thanks partly to the skills of Saurabh Netravalkar, a lead engineer at Oracle. Netravalkar, a principal member of Oracle's technical team, has risen in his professional and athletic endeavors.
By day, Netravalkar flexes his technical skills at Oracle, where he has worked since 2016. By night, he trades his keyboard for a cricket ball, using his left-arm fast bowling skills to help Team USA achieve victory. Netravalkar has been a US team member since 2018 and has played a crucial role in their recent success.
Born in Mumbai in 1991, Netravalkar played cricket in India for much of his adolescence before moving to the US to pursue his education and career. He holds a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Cornell University and a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from the University of Mumbai.
Netravalkar's dual talents have earned him recognition in tech and cricket. His story inspires those who believe passion and hard work can lead to success in multiple fields.
